Aurora and Evio Beauty anticipate that the partnership will result in greater brand recognition and cross-selling opportunities to customers of both companies.

A respected entrepreneur within lifestyle and social engagement circles, Brandi Leifso is a sought-after spokesperson for events that align with the company’s motto of empowerment. This broad recognition and high visibility have resulted in Evio Beauty successfully establishing relationships with over 50 coveted retailers.

Evio Beauty is supported by a strong board of directors including Paul Rosen , Managing Partner of BreakWater Venture Capital, Hugh Winters , President of Azure Beauty Inc and David Price , Vice President of sales for Hunter Amenities International.
