Victoria Beckham Beauty is founded on the idea that beauty should complement and empower the dynamic life you lead. When Victoria and Sarah envisioned what they wanted Victoria Beckham Beauty to be, they asked themselves- what would the most amazing luxury beauty brand look like in ten years? They concluded that the future of beauty would be super clean, perform at the highest luxury level, welcome everyone who loves beauty, help people fuel their lives inside and out, be sustainable, transparent, digital-first, cruelty-free, and created by women (naturally). This is the vision behind Victoria Beckham Beauty. We are a work in progress and a brand in motion.
