Lake & Skye: Skin Scents with Founder and CEO Courtney Somer

40 min • 29 juli 2024

Lake & Skye is a modern fragrance and wellness brand founded by Courtney Somer, inspired by her holistic health journey and the healing power of nature. Somer's path to becoming a wellness advocate began after a health crisis in her early 20s led her to alternative therapies. This experience sparked a passion for yoga, nutrition, aromatherapy, and meditation, culminating in the launch of Lake & Skye in 2015, named after her daughters. The brand believes fragrance is a force for emotional wellness, capable of changing moods, emotions, and bringing people back to the present moment. Lake & Skye's award-winning products distill scent down to its essence, creating best-in-class offerings that elevate the everyday. Dedicated to sustainability, the brand uses FSC Certified packaging, recyclable products, and ensures all items are vegan and cruelty-free. With initiatives like planting a tree for every order and ongoing support for organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, Lake & Skye is committed to treating both people and the planet with care.

In this episode, Courtney also discusses:

  • Bootstrapping the brand from her kitchen table
  • The viral 11 11 scent profile
  • Testing out new products with limited edition drops
  • Their upcoming launch in ULTA
