👋 We’re Beauty Pie. Before we arrived on the scene, if you wanted really great beauty products, you had to shop at traditional beauty retail. And that meant paying massively inflated ‘luxury beauty’ prices . But not any more. We make our premium products in the same labs as other high-end beauty brands (in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc) and give our members access to shop them direct, for a lot less than you’d pay at traditional retail. Because we believe everyone should have access to the very best in beauty - and get a bigger piece of the Beauty Pie. We created this Beauty Pie Playbook to give you a window into our world: who we are, what we stand for, and the culture, values, and opportunities that are available to members of the Beauty Pie team. So whether youre here to explore job opportunities, learn about how we work or simply get a taste of what we’re all about: welcome. And let’s get to work disrupting the beauty industry, one face cream at a time.🌟💄✨ For more on life at Beauty Pie take a look at our Beauty Pie Hiring Playbook https://beautypiehiringplaybook.notion.site/Well-Hello-There-Want-To-Know-More-About-Us-75e7348fc9c34801a3590db2e4179e99
