“I am thrilled to join a fantastic team, a savvy founder, and an innovative business backed by one of the best strategic partners in the clean beauty space, Sandbridge Capital. Our vision is to bring ingredient transparency and safer products to fine fragrance consumers globally, and I look forward to building the future of beauty with Henry Rose,” said de Metz.
