Our Story
Chillab started with a carry-on suitcase and a bathroom counter that didn't make sense.
Our founder spent years living between cities—Mexico City, Los Angeles, Shanghai—working jobs that demanded she show up polished, prepared, always "on." Her suitcase was stuffed with products for every scenario: one moisturizer for flights, another for humidity, a concealer for video calls, a different one for dinners. Serums, primers, setting sprays. A full performance kit for a life that already felt like a performance.
One night, delayed at an airport with a 40-pound bag and a 6 a.m. meeting ahead, she looked at her reflection in a bathroom mirror and thought: Why am I carrying all of this? Who told me I needed this much just to feel okay?
That question became Chillab.
We didn't set out to create another beauty brand. We set out to undo the lie that confidence is something you build up, layer by layer, product by product. The truth is the opposite: confidence comes from what you're willing to put down.
Chillab is what remains when you stop adding and start letting go.
