Molly Sims: Building YSE Beauty Beyond the Famous Face
from The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott
Molly Sims joins Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott to talk about building YSE Beauty from the ground up. The model-turned-entrepreneur opens up about her skin struggles after having her first baby at 41, why she started formulating products in her basement, and how she refused to slap her famous name on the brand. Sims discusses the nerve-wracking pitch to get into Sephora, raising $15 million in six and a half weeks, and creating clinical skincare specifically for the 35-plus woman who felt forgotten by the beauty industry. She also shares why her eye cream became the number two bestseller at Sephora and her philosophy on product development.
