SCARLETT JOHANSSON
Founder and Chair, The Outset
A globally recognized actor and producer, Scarlett brings three decades of experience with “working skin” to her vision for The Outset. As someone who has struggled with acne and skin sensitivity in the past, Scarlett’s own consistent approach for healthy, balanced and radiant skin is at the heart of The Outset’s everyday beauty philosophy. “My goal was to simplify beauty with a focus on everyday essentials,” says Scarlett. “I wanted The Outset to be universal, approachable, and as reliable as your favorite white tee – a classic staple.”
