How We Started

In 2019, our founder launched Taylor Melrose from a home office, driven by a need for skincare that celebrates melanin-rich skin, no alcohol ingredients that makes skin dry out or high aqua levels cheapening the quality of products and fills a crucial gap in the market. It began with persistence through countless “No’s,” a pandemic, and even more challenges. Undeterred, our founder took a grassroots approach, setting up a pop-up at a local Hollywood farmer’s market to connect with customers and find a community that resonated with the product he believed in so passionately. Taylor Melrose is proof that resilience and vision can turn obstacles into opportunities.
