Boston probably isn't the first city to come to mind when you think of beauty companies.
Believe it or not, Beantown has a burgeoning beauty tech scene. Check out three such up-and-coming startups below.
Follain is an e-commerce platform offering safe, healthy and high-performance beauty products from 40-plus U.S.-made skin care, hair care and cosmetic brands. The company has retail locations in Boston, Washington D.C. and Nantucket and is heavily focused on sustainability — so consumers can bring back empty containers to be refilled to reduce waste.
Scrambling to find an appointment at a salon for a blowout or running to your nearest makeup counter for a touch up are things of the past. Beautylynk offers on-demand, on-location beauty booking focusing on hair and makeup services. The glam squad will come to your home, office, hotel, or wherever you may be. The company currently operates in Atlanta, Boston, and Washington D.C., with additional locations coming in 2017.
Most women would agree that shaving your legs is a huge pain.
Busybeauty wants to make healthy, hassle-free shaving available to everyone, and with no water needed. The company created a different kind of shaving gel with antiseptic ingredients and nutrient rich oil extracts to allow you to shave without water. The gel acts as a protective barrier against razor burn and shaving irritation and the moisturizer nourishes your skin without leaving an oily residue like traditional foaming creams and gels.
