Our philosophy is that clean can be sexy and glamorous
After I hop out of the shower, the first thing I do is gently apply our Elixir Face Oil to my face and décolleté.
Her best business advice: “Patience, which has never been my strong suit! I’ve always liked to accomplish tasks quickly so that I can move on to the next thing. However, when you’re creating beauty products, especially clean beauty products, it’s important to exercise patience. For example, our CAKE mascara took us almost 18 months to formulate with over 20 lab submissions until we got it right. We were so proud when it was named Best Clean Mascara by Glamour in 2021.”

Her proudest product moment: “Beyond our hero eyeshadow palettes that put us on the map, I’m especially proud of our newly launched Elixir Skincare line. It consists of an incredibly effective Restorative Face Oil and Tinted Lip-Oil-Balm. I’m excited about how well the products have been received. Our Lip-Oil-Balm has even recently been embraced by a global celebrity who is known for having the most famous lips in the world.”
To complete my routine, I moisturize my lips with Elixir Tinted-Lip-Oil-Balm to give them a wash of color. It’s also super nourishing and contains hyaluronic acid, sweet almond oil, and argan oil. It feels dreamy on lips.
Her glowy skin secret: “My life is so busy, so I like to keep my beauty routine as simple and easy as possible. I start my day with a glass of lemon water to wake me up. It also keeps the body alkaline, which is important for so many things, including inflammation, cellular regeneration, digestion, and bone health. After I hop out of the shower, the first thing I do is gently apply our Elixir Face Oil to my face and décolleté. If I'm in a hurry, I mix it with my foundation. This gives me instant dewy glow and assures that my skin gets important nourishing ingredients, which is great if you don’t like to fuss with three or four products.”

Her makeup must-haves: “I don’t leave the house without doing my brows because they’re so light and sparse. I love using vowBrow because it mimics real hair, it lasts all day, and it’s foolproof. Next, I apply a few swipes of eyeshadow and CAKE Mascara. To complete my routine, I moisturize my lips with Elixir Tinted-Lip-Oil-Balm to give them a wash of color. It’s also super nourishing and contains hyaluronic acid, sweet almond oil, and argan oil. It feels dreamy on lips.”

Her biggest beauty indulgence: “My biggest beauty indulgence is a good facial at either Carasoin Day Spa (they use the best clean products) or The Spa by Joanna Vargas at the Sunset Tower Hotel. It makes me feel ten years younger!”
Her top drugstore discovery: “Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. I have the driest lips and when I want a natural moisturizer, it’s my go-to.”

Dr. Nancy Samolitis and Danielle Nadick-Levy both hail from Illinois, but the co-founders of Facile—a Los Angeles mecca for anyone seeking a gorgeous, glowing complexion—couldn’t be more different. Growing up in a rural town 100 miles outside of Chicago, Dr. Samolitis, a board-certified dermatologist who refers to herself as a “skin perfectionist” on social media, didn’t necessarily prioritize beauty. “My family never saw a dermatologist, my cousins did our hair, and we never got our nails done,” she says.
