History
Established in 2006.
A longtime resident of Aspen, Lily Garfield left behind the chaos of New York for the relaxed, kicked-back lifestyle of the Colorado Mountains. Upon arrival, she was alarmed to find that despite Aspen’s high altitude, harsh weather and strong sun, there were few skincare products available to combat the vigorous climate of the Rockies. She immediately set out to create a cosmetics boutique that would become synonymous with quality, personally selecting skincare and cosmetics from the world’s finest, most prestigious collections.
