A life-threatening illness spurred Indie Lee to take charge and change the course of her life
Indie Lee's foray into the beauty industry began 12 years ago after she was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour. Doctors told her that the tumour could be due to environmental factors like the skincare products she was using. She was given only six months to live.
"I knew I had to survive so that I could affect change. I discovered a new purpose and that was to build a clean beauty community. I've been on this mission ever since." The 48-year-old founded the eponymous US beauty label in an effort to offer effective yet safe beauty solutions.
