RyLee was working as a school teacher when she decided to take a leap of faith and launch her own business making skincare products for calluses. Operating out of a barn converted into her home and workspace, RyLee built the company through sheer passion and grit. Now, just a couple years in, the business is booming beyond her wildest dreams.
