Founder/Chief Creative Officer
I started the love for beauty at the age of thirteen. Watching my nana apply cosmetics as a young boy and seeing how it enhanced her natural beauty inspired me to want to know more. As the years went on, I dreamt of creating my own cosmetic line. At the age of eighteen, I landed my first cosmetic job at an Estee Lauder counter. From there I continued my cosmetic journey for twelve years in various positions. In 2021, I went to nursing school and earned my associate of science in nursing. From there I continued my education in 2023, earning my Bachelor of Science in nursing. Now, Aristotle Cosmetics is a brand where science meets beauty. I want every individual to feel and see a difference when wearing Aristotle Cosmetics. My motto is "Why be pretty when you can be gorgeous?"
Aristotle Cosmetics is about philosophy meets physics of color. Blending modern scientific principles to create unique and effective products. This innovative approach recognizes cosmetics not merely as superficial enhancements but as extensions of a deeper philosophical engagement with aesthetics and well-being, akin to Aristotle's holistic view of knowledge. Just as Aristotle emphasized the cultivation of the whole person, Aristotle Cosmetics endeavors to nurture both external beauty and internal harmony through formulations that respect the intricate relationship between human physiology and environmental factors.
Operations Specialist
I’ve known our Founder/Chief Creative Officer, Corey for over 13 years. We met one Saturday morning while I was working at a store I managed at and he was a representative in our cosmetic department. We had a brief conversation about how he wanted a career in dermatology because he wanted to help people. From that moment we had a connection that continues to this day. I have a background in Retail Management and Real Estate and when Corey mentioned that he wanted to start his cosmetics/skincare brand, without hesitation I said let’s do it.
So on that late summer day, August 29, 2025 to be exact, the framework and foundation of what is now Aristotle Cosmetics took shape.
I am a driven, trustworthy and family oriented person. My passion for business came at an early age when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up…that answer was always to have my own business or to be a banker. Well my dislike for math squashed that second option, but my love for entrepreneurship has always been there.
Family and friends have always been the most important to me and my love for sports have always been a driving factor to be the best I can be. Having always struggled with having “perfect” skin and always trying the next “best” product, this gave me the opportunity to make a difference. Aristotle Cosmetics brings not only an innovative approach to skincare, but it also brings people together. Now I embark on this journey with some brilliant minds as not only partners, but family and friends, plus meet some fantastic people along the way while helping reunite a community divided. My motto has always been “If you don’t bet on yourself, you are sure to lose because you are a proven winner.”
Product Development Specialist
As a young adult, I was the girl whose drawers and shelves overflowed with cosmetics and skincare. Sorry mom. Now, as an RN with my BSN, my life has always been about care married to science. That's why I'm thrilled to reveal a new kind of partnership that lets me blend my clinical background with my passion for creating beauty products that truly work. I am joining the visionary team at Aristotle Cosmetics as a Product Developer, and I am wildly excited.
My journey in nursing taught me the importance of safety, efficacy, and genuine care. This is the same foundation that Aristotle Cosmetics is built upon, thanks to our founder, Corey Locke, NP. When he asked me to come aboard, I said yes before he could finish the question. In this new role, I am pouring my energy into developing exceptional skincare and makeup that deliver real results. I am obsessed with ingredient education, smart formulation, and transparency—so you can feel confident about what you're putting on your skin.
Aristotle's unique insight goes beyond surface-level beauty. We dive deep into the "why," ensuring every product is not just a treat for your skin but a treatment, supported by real science. And we believe in developing products that combine innovative ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid with a lot of heart and a little bit of sass.
This collaboration is a meeting of minds and a fusion of passions. We're creating a brand where beauty is more than skin deep—it's a reflection of purpose, science, and empowerment.
I am elated to share what we've been working on. Get ready for products that are gorgeous, effective, and perhaps most importantly, backed by science, a lot of love, and a little bit of attitude. Because when skincare is your passion, you want everyone to experience the glow.
