Setting The New Standard in Skincare With Alisa Metzger, Co-Founder iNNBEAUTY Project
Before launching iNNBEAUTY Project, Alisa Metzger spent over a decade inside some of the world’s biggest beauty companies—L’Oréal, Procter & Gamble, and Coty—learning exactly how the industry worked from the inside out. But after years of seeing the same patterns repeat—sky-high markups, confusing claims, and a lack of true transparency—she decided to build something different. Alongside her co-founder Jen Shane, Alisa created INNBeauty Project: a brand that delivers clinically effective, clean skincare without the luxury price tag.
Vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free, iNNBEAUTY was designed to be as inclusive as it is high-performance—bridging the gap between clean formulas and results-driven science. The brand’s bright packaging and straightforward messaging cut through the noise, offering products that actually work and make you feel good using them. Today, iNNBEAUTY Project is one of the fastest-growing clean skincare brands in the U.S., with Alisa recently named to Inc.’s 2025 Female Founders 500 list. Under her leadership, INNBeauty continues to redefine what modern beauty looks like—smart, accessible, and radically transparent.
In this episode, Alisa also discusses:
How she’s bridging the gap between efficacy and fun in skincare
Creating formulas backed by clinical results, proven to perform at the highest level
Why Extreme Cream rivals (and often beats) $300+ luxury moisturizers
What it meant to be one of the first clean brands at Sephora to prioritize affordability
How they merge science-backed formulas with playful, dopamine-boosting packaging
The meticulous approach behind crafting products for all skin types, tones, and ages
Why building a brand takes time and why patience is key
We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Alisa's journey and the growth of iNNBEAUTY Project. Don't forget to subscribe to the Glam & Grow podcast for more in-depth conversations with the most incredible brands, founders, and more.
