A: I am Angella Sprauve, Founder and Chief Chemist of Auvê Beauty.. I am a 20-year veteran cosmetic chemist and beauty innovator with Guyanese-American roots. My goal in creating Auvê Beauty was to create a skincare brand that’s as effective as it is educational, blending my cultural heritage with modern science.
Our mission is to champion cosmetic chemistry education and radiant skin for all. We make cosmetic chemistry accessible through our content, packaging, and website, helping everyone understand the science behind their skincare. Our skincare is the first to harness the potent Guyanese anti-aging botanical, Guyanese Bootlace Bark Extract, and is crafted with a focus on sustainability, education, and community.
All Products are made in our own clean beauty lab, and are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and crafted in small batches. And we utilize glass and recyclable packaging where possible, and encourage upcycling for all package materials.
Our impact extends beyond our products. We work closely with girls' empowerment organizations like Guyanese Girls Rock, G.L.A.M. Squad Nation, and The Lookup Series, supporting and inspiring young women to consider careers in science. We want women of all backgrounds make informed skincare choices and embrace their natural beauty.
