When was Colleen Rothschild Beauty founded and how did you choose the name for your brand?
Colleen Rothschild Beauty was born out of my deep-seated passion for skin care and beauty, a journey I embarked on over 30 years ago. The brand came to life 10 years ago, a pivotal moment when I decided to pour all my industry insights and personal ethos into a line that carried more than just my name; it carried my personal stamp of quality, commitment, and the intimate stories that shaped me.
Choosing 'Colleen Rothschild' as the brand name was a natural decision. It represents my personal guarantee of each product's effectiveness and authenticity. It's not just a brand; it's my life's work, my identity, and my promise to each customer that they're receiving something I believe in wholeheartedly. Every product is a chapter of my journey, a piece of advice from a trusted friend, and I wanted the brand's name to reflect that personal connection and trust.

What inspired the creation of the brand?
The genesis of Colleen Rothschild Beauty was not just a moment but a journey. It's the culmination of years spent in the complex world of beauty manufacturing, where my background laid the foundation for innovation. This brand is my canvas, where artistry meets science to create something deeply personal. It's about channeling my passion for product development into formulations that bolster confidence and celebrate individual beauty. Each product is a piece of my story, shared with the hope of empowering others to embrace their unique journey.
Does Colleen Rothschild Beauty have a hero product?
While we relish in the excitement surrounding individual products, particularly our current crowd favorite, the Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream, our philosophy operates much like curating a capsule wardrobe. Each product is designed to harmonize with the next, creating a complete, comprehensive skincare experience. It's not just about one standout item, but the collective efficacy and synergy of the entire line that underscores the essence of Colleen Rothschild Beauty. Our range doesn't hinge on a single hero product; instead, it celebrates the potent ensemble, each contributing a unique strength to elevate the overall beauty routine.
What are your favorite products from your brand?
Simplicity and consistency govern my skincare ritual. The Radiant Cleansing Balm is my solace after long days, its aroma and consistency a prelude to my nighttime routine, which includes the use of our Glycolic Peel Pads and culminates with a blend of the Hyaluronic Serum and Extreme Recovery Cream and a little Retinol Supreme Eye Serum.
Where are your products sold?
Our treasures are available direct to consumer, exclusively on our website, reaching enthusiasts in over 50 countries worldwide.
Colleen Rothschild Beauty Radiant Cleansing Balm ($65) clears pores and removes impurities while dissolving makeup, leaving skin balanced, soft, and radiant.
Future plans for the brand?
As we look ahead, our strategy is multifaceted: we plan to continue to amplify global awareness of Colleen Rothschild Beauty, leveraging the strength of our direct-to-consumer relationships. By focusing on innovative product development that remains true to our ethos, we aim to continue inspiring our customers and enhancing their experience.
Authenticity and word-of-mouth will drive our community expansion, while we explore strategic opportunities across different beauty categories: skin care, hair care, body care, and makeup. Each step is about offering more than just a product; it's about ensuring every interaction adds value, fosters loyalty, and cements our role in their self-care rituals.
Who inspires you?
My mother, the epitome of grace, planted in me the seeds of kindness—an invaluable asset in both personal and professional realms. Her legacy is my compass, guiding me as I cultivate a community where everyone is cherished and empowered.
Secret to success?
Kindness, often overlooked, is my non-negotiable. It's the undercurrent of success, ensuring harmonious relationships with collaborators, customers, and teams while fostering a culture where respect is the standard, not the exception.

Beauty secrets?
Consistency is my beauty elixir. Embracing a daily ritual of sunscreen application has been a shield against the premature signs of aging, safeguarding my skin from dark spots. Equally vital is the nightly routine of cleansing, a simple yet profound step that maintains the skin's delicate microbiome balance. This practice isn't just about purity; it's a restorative ritual that empowers the skin's natural regenerative processes, ensuring its innate ability to repair and rejuvenate is unimpeded. It's through these steadfast habits that my skin finds its healthiest expression, and beauty becomes more a matter of nourishment than concealment.
Wellness tips?
I'm on a continuous quest for balance, often juggling roles, and I welcome any wisdom! Hot Yoga, a past indulgence, was my haven, and I yearn to reincorporate it into my daily rhythm. Perhaps this conversation is the universe nudging me back towards it.
Best advice?
Embrace kindness. It's transformative—softening hearts, bridging divides, and fostering a sense of community. It's as relevant in boardrooms as in daily encounters.
Favorite way to relax?
Relaxation is a work in progress for me. Currently, I find solace in the creativity on TikTok, from home transformations to fashion. Additionally, photography stirs my soul, a hobby I dream of evolving into an art form.
