Serena Advani is the founder of Seadrop, the brand reinventing skincare as tablets instead of liquids. Her debut product is a first-of-its-kind, crushable, “just-add-water” skincare tablet that activates into a hydrating facial cleanser upon use with the tap water you already have at home.

While traditional liquid cleanser is ~90% water and stored in single-use plastic, Seadrop's waterless cleanser comes in zero-waste, refillable packaging for skincare that’s cleaner for both the planet and your skin.

Serena holds degrees in cognitive neuroscience and operations (with a focus on neuromarketing) from Penn, along with an MBA from Wharton (where she served as a President of the Wharton Beauty Club). She previously worked on beauty due diligences at McKinsey and in global brand strategy at Estee Lauder Companies (Bobbi Brown), and she has recently been named a 2023 Most Influential ESG Leader by Women’s Wear Daily.
