Why This $5 Million Skin Care CEO Chooses Reddit Over Influencers

Why This $5 Million Skin Care CEO Chooses Reddit Over Influencers

She built Virtue Labs into a $50M+ hair care brand. Now Melisse Shaban is CEO of Aramore — a biotech skincare company backed by peer-reviewed NAD+ research — and she's throwing out the beauty playbook.

No influencer deals. No aspirational campaigns. She's sending free product to Reddit strangers, asking for the honest truth, and betting that real science doesn't need hype to win.

In this episode:

  • Why she left a board seat to run one more brand
  • How a 28-day Reddit trial beat any influencer campaign
  • The products she cut from her own line — and why
  • What 30 years at Aveda, the Body Shop, and Fekkai taught her about what's broken in beauty
  • Why she hates the word "aging" and refuses to sell fear
