Item Beauty

Mid-Range

Addison Rae's clean, cruelty-free Sephora line.

United States·Founded 2020·by Addison Rae (with Madeby Collective)

Item Beauty was launched in August 2020 by TikTok creator Addison Rae together with Madeby Collective, the beauty incubator behind Versed and Naturium. Rae serves as co-founder and chief innovation officer of the brand, which was built around a clean-beauty thesis: 100% vegan, cruelty-free, dermatologist-tested, and formulated with botanical, plant-based actives in place of the parabens, sulfates, and synthetics common in mass-market teen makeup. The name "Item" refers to the idea that the wearer and her makeup are "an item together," reframing color cosmetics as self-expression rather than transformation.

The debut SKU set — Lash Snack mascara, Lip Quip lip oil, Brow Chow brow gel, Lid Glaze cream shadow, Cheek Money cream blush, and Powder Hour pressed powder — was priced from $12 to $22 and aimed squarely at the Gen Z TikTok audience. Item Beauty launched at Sephora in August 2021 a year after its DTC debut, joining a small group of influencer-founded clean-beauty brands that successfully crossed into prestige retail. The brand has stayed in the same core categories rather than aggressively expanding the SKU list.
