Letter From The Editrix

The Story of Editrix (ed·i·trix: a female editor) is rooted in my years as a magazine beauty editor. I reported from the front lines of beauty and wellness for some of the world’s leading fashion titles — covering backstage at Fashion Week, visiting retreats, writing about biohacking and wellness rituals, and testing the endless stream of skincare products that landed on my desk each day.

From inside the industry, I saw how quickly skincare had become more complicated than it needed to be. More products. More treatments. More actives. More promises. But the more I studied beauty, the more I began to question whether all of this excess was actually helping the skin, or quietly overwhelming it.

At the same time, I was forging my own path back to wellness. I gave away the products that once lined every inch of my Brooklyn apartment and began rethinking beauty through health, simplicity, and the body’s own intelligence. Suddenly, women started stopping me on the street to ask what made my skin glow.

It occurred to me that we are chasing beauty and vitality but ignoring how the ancient and invisible world of the body's microbiome facilitates this quest.

Then,
a moment of magical clarity. 

While visiting my sister at her research lab at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles where she is a pioneering microbiologist on the gut microbiome, it occurred to me that we are chasing beauty and vitality but ignoring how the ancient and invisible world of the body's microbiome facilitates this quest.

I ultimately left the world of editorial but I will forever be an Editrix—no longer reporting on runway trends but editing timeless ingredients and innovating new ways to connect the dots between science and wellness for our common good.

Editrix is the culmination of this philosophy—a reckoning of health, spirit and science colliding.
