Victoria Jackson is a beauty industry pioneer whose billion-dollar brand helped define the “no-makeup makeup” movement — but her most powerful pivot came far beyond the world of cosmetics. In this episode, Victoria shares how building her business from her garage was just the beginning of a life shaped by resilience, reinvention, and purpose. When her daughter was diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening disease, Victoria left her company behind and stepped into the unknown, founding the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation and ultimately funding groundbreaking medical research that led to the first FDA-approved treatments. Now at 70, she’s returning to beauty with a renewed mission and product line, reimagining beauty for women who, like her, are still evolving.
