Meet Malea Rose

Malea Rose, founder of Vie En Rose

Malea Rose grew up on the North Shore of Kauai, surfing competitively and blending her first skincare beside her mother, who started the island's organic food co-op.

At sixteen she left for California to study theatre at Chapman University and built a career in front of and behind the camera: as an actress on New Girl, Two and a Half Men, Hello Ladies and Entourage, and starring opposite Halle Berry, then as executive producer and creative director of Triller Fight Club, which reached No. 4 in the App Store with top-ten pay-per-view specials, and as an executive producer of the Jake Paul docuseries PRBLM CHLD.

But long days under hot lights, constant travel and ever-changing climates pushed her reactive skin to its limit, and nothing on the market could keep up. So she went back to what her mother taught her. Over two years, working alongside a U.S. lab, she paired potent plant extracts and high-performance ingredients with the finest carrier oils until she had skincare that performed like a treatment and felt like a ritual.

That formula became Vie En Rose. Today it's carried at Nordstrom, in Waldorf Astoria and Fairmont spas and in private aviation. It's been featured in Vogue, and it's the vacation glow behind all three seasons of The White Lotus.
