Jelitsa Legarreta discussed her clean beauty brand which she launched during the pandemic.
Legarreta was frustrated with the lack of Latina representation in the skin care industry and brought her background in nursing and culture to Uvina. Uvina Skin began to unfold when my young daughter Scarlett began sharing in my nightly skin care routine.

As I began to research the ingredients in my products, I grew frustrated and disappointed. I found many harsh and unnecessary ingredients. My initial thought was This isn t safe for Scarlett. But then I thought, If this isn t safe for Scarlett, when did it become safe for me? After that, there was no turning back.

It hasn’t even been four months since Bobbi Brown launched Jones Road, the make-up artist’s new beauty line that focuses on essential products that works on every skin type and tone. Now, the brand has expanded into skincare, with four new products that echoes the brand’s clean beauty ethics.
The formulas are designed to fit everyone regardless of gender and skin type, and made with clean, nourishing ingredients. For the brand’s first skincare launch, Brown has decided to centre the products around hydration, emphasising the importance of properly hydrated skin.
