Amy Risley believes that everything happens for a reason.

By that logic, it makes sense she ended up with a successful beauty company. Her family worked in the beauty industry for years and after meeting Estée Lauder at the age of five, Amy felt empowered seeing a woman in such a powerful business role.

As the founder and CEO of Skinfix, a beauty company that creates daily moisturizers, eczema treatments and other skincare products, Amy is taking on household name beauty brands with products that are clean, effective and backed by scientific studies. Not to mention, products that have changed the lives of many customers!

On this episode of The Empowered Challenger, listen firsthand as Amy discusses her brand's journey from $100,000 in annual revenue to being carried exclusively by Sephora. She talks about the spark that led her down the entrepreneurial path, how an early partnership with Target helped develop her indie brand and what it's like to truly run a clean, sustainable and life-changing company.
