Allyse Cirillo.
Our latest Beauty Boss is Allyse Cirillo, Founder and CEO of Saint Jō Skincare—a line of skincare and supplements that are formulated with clean, non-toxic ingredients while delivering high-performance results. Her background in product development gave Cirillo the tools to build an intentional, elevated, and deeply personal brand that would also empower women to embrace their routines with confidence.
“We source globally, but formulate in the U.S and Canada,” Cirillo says. “Every ingredient is vetted for performance and purity. From antioxidant-rich Australian Kakadu plum to marine collagen peptides and adaptogens, we prioritize clinically backed ingredients that nourish the skin and body without toxins, fillers or fluff.”
From eco-conscious packaging to responsibly sourced ingredients, Saint Jō Skincare is committed to reducing waste, minimizing its footprint, and creating products that are kind to the planet and skin. They also have a line of activewear that includes shorts, leggings, and tops to enhance one’s natural shape and curves for a flattering and comfortable fit.
We chatted with Cirillo who shared the inspiration behind the brand, secrets for success, best advice, and much more.
Saint Jō Skincare is a non-toxic, high-performance skincare and supplements line.
When was Saint Jō Skincare founded and what inspired it?
I spent over a decade in product development for the apparel industry—designing, scaling, and building brands behind the scenes. But after hitting burnout and going through a personal transformation; including losing over 80 pounds and prioritizing my health—I knew I needed a major shift.
For three years, I worked closely with a naturopathic doctor, diving deep into the world of wellness, functional ingredients, and holistic health. That experience completely changed the way I viewed beauty, it made me realize how disconnected most products are from what the body actually needs. That’s when I saw the gap: a true need for skincare and supplements that were both clean and high-performance. That’s when Saint Jō was born.
Saint Jō officially launched in 2025, after more than a year and a half of development—working closely with world-renowned chemists and formulators to bring our vision to life.
From day one, our mission has been to create skincare and supplements that support beauty from the inside out—without compromising on safety or efficacy. Clean ingredients aren’t just a trend; they're non-negotiable. I wanted formulas that worked with your body, not against it, and that honored the ritual of self-care in a deeper, more intentional way.
Do you have a hero product? Favorite product?
Our Step 4: Nourish Moisturizer has quickly become a customer favorite—it’s rich without being heavy, and delivers that deeply hydrated, plump-skin look that makes everything else work better. Personally, I’m also obsessed with our AM + PM supplements. They’ve transformed my energy, sleep quality, and skin clarity.
Together, the 5-step ritual and supplements are designed to simplify your routine while giving real, visible results. It’s skincare that supports you from the inside out—and once you start, it’s hard to go back.
Their products blend science-backed formulations with clean, non-toxic ingredients to elevate but simplify daily rituals.
Who inspires you?
Women who support women. I’ve always looked up to female founders who stayed true to their vision, didn’t follow trends, and built brands that made people feel something.
Secret to success?
Consistency over intensity. It’s never about one big moment—it’s the small, intentional steps every day that build something meaningful. Also: protect your peace. Energy is currency when you’re building.
Beauty secrets?
Skincare only works if you actually use it. I always say: simplify to stay consistent. Our 5-step system was designed to take the guesswork out of skincare so you can build a habit that sticks. And never underestimate the power of a clean SPF, red light therapy and a good night’s sleep.
Wellness tips?
Start your day before the world starts asking things of you. Whether it’s a walk, journaling, or just drinking my cappuccino in peace—give yourself 15 minutes in the morning to reconnect with you.
Best advice?
No one is coming to give you permission—build it anyway. Stay in integrity, lead with intention, and trust that doing the work will always pay off.
How do you like to relax?
Cuddles with my French bulldogs, red light therapy, and cooking with my husband. Rituals ground me.
