After successful treatment, Lee dedicated herself to creating clean skincare free from harmful chemicals. The brand uses sustainably sourced, natural ingredients and maintains strict clean formulation standards. Indie Lee's Brightening Cleanser and COQ-10 Toner became favorites among clean beauty enthusiasts. The brand is sold through Sephora and Nordstrom.
