So…you have a dream of creating your own Beauty Brand.
You have the passion and a clear idea of the problem you want to solve—maybe it’s makeup for sensitive skin, or skincare that celebrates diversity.
But the reality of what it takes to launch this brand, from sourcing to marketing, feels difficult to navigate. Where do you even begin?
You start researching and quickly learn that the journey is more complex than you anticipated.
Big retailers like Sephora require rigorous compliance standards, safety testing, and proof that you can meet their demand.
On top of that, the ecommerce space is competitive and demands an extraordinary online strategy.
It’s easy to feel discouraged, wondering if you’re biting off more than you can chew.
First, there’s the challenge of product formulation. You can’t just whip up a batch of skincare or cosmetics and call it done.
To create products that are safe, stable, and compliant with health and beauty regulations, you need a reliable manufacturer and lab.
Each product requires testing for stability, safety, and consistency—and if you’re unfamiliar with this world, understanding how to even start working with labs can feel like a mystery.
Then there’s compliance. Beauty retailers, and increasingly Ecommerce customers, expect transparency in ingredients, production standards, and even sustainability practices.
Ensuring your product is safe and compliant requires not only knowledge but also capital to carry out testing and potentially make adjustments.
For a new entrepreneur, the costs of product recalls or reformulations due to missed compliance standards can be devastating.
Launching a beauty brand means entering a highly saturated market.
Just standing out online requires an extensive marketing strategy, from crafting a unique brand story to creating professional product photography and social media content.
But without deep pockets or existing brand recognition, getting noticed can feel like shouting into the void.
Finally, landing a retail partnership is often seen as the holy grail for beauty brands, yet it’s one of the biggest challenges. Retailers like Sephora or Ulta require you to demonstrate that you have a proven, in-demand product.
They look at factors like your social following, online reviews, and sales metrics, which puts even more pressure on building up a solid ecommerce foundation.
Plus, once accepted, retailers expect brands to keep up with demand and deliver consistent quality, adding another layer of financial and logistical pressure.
Fortunately for you, Alicia Scott’s journey is very similar to yours.
Range Beauty today is a brand that now serves thousands of people with real, authentic products on the shelves of major retailers like Sephora.
And she’s here to help you crush every barrier and do more than just start a beauty brand—she’ll help you turn it into a thriving business with the exact roadmap, support, and confidence you need.
Alicia Scott started with a dream, a tiny budget, and a bold vision: to create a beauty brand that would finally cater to sensitive, melanin-rich skin.
Every step of the way was a challenge.
She was working a full-time job, so her “office hours” became late nights and weekends.
She poured her own savings into her first small order, scouring for manufacturers that understood her demand for clean, gentle ingredients and low minimum orders—no small feat in an industry where bulk is king.
She invested her heart, time, and every penny she could save.
Even as her brand, initially called “Skinny Dip,” was taking off, she was hit with an unexpected setback—a trademark dispute forced her to rebrand.
Instead of seeing this as a roadblock, Alicia turned it into an opportunity.
She re-envisioned her brand as Range Beauty: a name that resonated even more deeply with her mission of inclusivity and quality.
Her dedication paid off, and soon, her perseverance and social presence caught the attention of major players like Target and Sephora.
Her feature on Shark Tank became a transformative moment, securing her a deal with Emma Grede, a strategic partnership that helped catapult Range Beauty to new heights.
Imagine the power of seeing your own products—once mere ideas—now sitting on store shelves alongside the biggest names in beauty.
Now you can do it with Alicia Scott.
In this new course, How to Build A Million Dollar Beauty Brand, Alicia simplifies what it takes to work with labs, create a brand that stands out, and meet the expectations of both ecommerce customers and retail partners.
Instead of navigating each stage alone, you can follow a clear, step-by-step path designed to turn challenges into manageable steps, making the journey from idea to shelf or online store possible.
