As a first-generation American, Cat Chen learned a thing or two about resilience from her own family. She then applied that energy towards cleaning up the fragrance industry\u2014literally and figuratively. \u201cAs I watched my parents pursue the American dream, I learned that anything was possible when you work hard,\u201d the Skylar founder and CEO says. \u201c<\/em>At first, we were told it wasn\u2019t possible to create hypoallergenic fragrances that smelled amazing. Nevertheless, we persisted.\u201d And we\u2019re so grateful that you did, Cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The birth of Skylar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before founding Skylar, a clean and conscious fragrance and body care brand, Cat Chen was the VP of Operations at The Honest Company, a clean baby and household products brand. Soon after becoming a mother, she noticed her daughter Anne had an allergic reaction to her everyday fragrance, and this was the leitmotif and the spark that ignited the creation of Skylar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No compromises: 100% clean scents with 0% harmful ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people in the industry tried to dissuade Chen from embarking on the path of the clean-yet-gorgeous-scents. She was asked to choose either clean or dreamy, gorgeous scents. In her mind, there was no room for compromise. Luckily for all of us, she found a way and created a collection of scents that are clean, hypoallergenic, and safe for sensitive skin, but suitable for all. She also ensured that every ingredient was both vegan and cruelty-free, and came housed in sustainable, eco-friendly packaging. Plus, they smell amazing on their own or layered with other scents from the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love all of the Skylar fragrances, but one that I am wearing a lot is Salt Air<\/a>,\u201d Cat Chen says. \u201cI love spending time at the beach with my daughter, and that is what inspired me to create this scent. I love this fragrance because it literally smells like you\u2019re standing at the edge of the water on a perfect day at the beach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t just take her word for it. Our Scentbird community agrees completely. \u201cIt\u2019s described perfectly and smells even better than I could\u2019ve imagined. Like a beachfront condo of a pretty mermaid.\u201d wrote one subscriber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
