Skin-care founder Angela Caglia on the stem cell technology that created 437% sales growth

After more than seven years in business, Angela Caglia Skincare is having its hockey stick moment. “Our sales are up 437% in the past year,” founder Angela Caglia told Glossy. “We’ll finish this year at close to $4 million [in sales] and around 90% of that will be the Cell Forté Serum; it’s all we’re promoting.” Since launching the hero product in October 2023, the brand’s Cell Forté Serum has garnered several beauty industry awards from publications like Elle, Byrdie, TZR and Essence, and sold out three times on Violet Grey. And it was the catalyst for the brand’s expansion into Nordstrom last month. Caglia’s focus now is keeping the serum in stock, and she hopes to expand the franchise next year with face and eye creams. The serum retails for $395 for 1 ounce.
