Mizzi Cosmetics was founded by Brenda Mierzejewski in 2014. In an effort to heal her children’s dry, cracked lips Brenda put her pharmaceutical background to use to create LipLuxe products (artisan lip balms and lip scrub). Realizing that most of the lip balms on the market were toxic, Mierzejewski made a commitment to using all-natural ingredients and healing essential oils. Mizzi products are naturally made, with safe, non-toxic ingredients and no petroleum. Brenda’s dream of changing the landscape for lip care became a reality in 2015, when Mizzi products were discovered and organically endorsed by celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Kate Hudson. This helped to propel Mizzi Cosmetics to the next level. Mizzi Cosmetics believes in helping people slow down and focus on self-care, starting each day with healthy beautiful lips, powered by their signature LipLuxe line. Mizzi Cosmetics is comprised of hard-working women who truly care about providing safe, natural beauty products to their customers. LipLuxe is a luxury product without a luxury price tag, which makes the entire product line affordable and accessible for all interested in natural beauty products. While they have seen consistent growth and progress, recognition within the community further helps to increase their exposure. As a small business that is less than five years old, they are highly deserving of and would truly benefit from receiving an award like this.
