The story
Founded in 2003, Clean Beauty Collective (operating the CLEAN fragrance brand) has positioned itself as a sustainability- and safety-focused DTC beauty and fragrance company. The company sells direct-to-consumer via its Shopify-powered e-commerce site while also pursuing retail and salon partnerships. Its embedded finance stack reflects a lean DTC operator: Shopify for commerce infrastructure, Sezzle for buy-now-pay-later at checkout, and Tipalti for accounts-payable and supplier/partner payments.
