Appreciate your honesty at the end. Are you going to raise your prices? You don’t know! It’s such a tough thing to call and I know many other founders are feeling the same way, even if unspoken. What a tough spot to be in right now in beauty.

Thanks for sharing your experience and breaking down how these kinds of policies hit small businesses the hardest. And, unfortunately, tariffs are just one piece of the puzzle….there are a bunch of other politic and economic moves that could make things even tougher for small brands and squeeze consumers' already limited spending power. I hope you find a path through this and come out even stronger on the other side.

Thank you for this, Adeline! I haven’t seen anyone break down the impacts of tariff in beauty, one of those daily routines that adds up so quickly. Really appreciate you sharing how it’s impacting your own business, can’t imagine that’s easy to share— but many thanks for doing so. ✨
