Tower 28 Beauty

Tower 28 Beauty was founded in 2019 by Amy Liu, a beauty industry veteran who spent over 15 years at brands including Josie Maran, Kate Somerville, and Smashbox before launching her own company. Liu's daughter was born with severe eczema, and the experience of searching for safe, non-irritating products for sensitive skin became the brand's founding inspiration. Tower 28 was the first makeup brand to meet the National Eczema Association's seal of acceptance, meaning every product is safe for eczema-prone and sensitive skin. The brand name references Lifeguard Tower 28 in Santa Monica, embodying a California-casual, sun-kissed aesthetic. Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray, containing hypochlorous acid, became a viral hit during the pandemic for its skin-calming and antibacterial properties.

Brand Philosophy

Tower 28 proves that clean, sensitive-skin-safe products do not have to sacrifice color payoff, fun, or performance. Every product is formulated to meet NEA acceptance standards, meaning ingredients are rigorously screened for irritation potential. The brand avoids over 1,300 questionable ingredients while still delivering vibrant, buildable color products that work for reactive skin. The California-inspired aesthetic keeps the brand feeling joyful rather than medicinal, making sensitive skin care feel like a choice rather than a compromise.

Who It's For

Anyone with sensitive or eczema-prone skin who refuses to give up color cosmetics. Perfect for consumers tired of choosing between 'clean' products that underperform and effective products that irritate.
