Our Story
Two Sisters on a Mission to Redefine Aging
I'm Catherine (54), and this is my sister Margaret (58).
We started Sylairé because we were tired of being ignored.
Walk into any beauty store and you'll see products targeting 20-somethings. Scroll through Instagram and it's all about anti-aging—as if aging itself is something shameful. Talk to your doctor about perimenopause or menopause symptoms, and you might hear, "It's just part of getting older."
But we refuse to accept that.
The Wake-Up Call
It started when I turned 50. I walked into Sephora looking for solutions to my changing skin, and the sales associate looked right past me to help the younger woman behind me.
That's when it hit me: To the beauty industry, women over 40 are invisible.
Margaret had a similar experience at 55. After spending $300/month on premium skincare, she realized she was paying luxury prices just to feel seen. "Cat," she said, "there has to be a better way for women like us."
That conversation changed everything.
Why Sylairé Exists
Sylairé is for women who are entering their best years, not their declining ones. Women who want quality without the markup, who deserve to be seen and celebrated, and who are tired of being sold the idea that aging is something to fight against. We built this for you. And we stand behind every product with our names on it
We started with skincare because that's where we saw the biggest gap. But our mission is bigger than beauty.
Sylairé is about reclaiming our power at every stage of life.
What We Stand For
We Test Everything Ourselves
Before anything goes on this site, one of us uses it. We've thrown out more products than we've listed. If it doesn't work on us — women in our 50s with the skin to prove it — it doesn't make the cut.
Fair Pricing Is Non-Negotiable
The products on this site aren't cheaper because they're inferior. They're cheaper because we don't have a Sephora retail margin, a Madison Avenue marketing budget, or celebrity endorsements to fund. You pay for the product. Not the packaging.
We Answer Our Own Emails
There's no customer service team. There's Catherine and Margaret. We read every message and we respond personally. If something goes wrong with your order, you're talking to the people who built this brand.
The 60-Day Guarantee Means What It Says
Sixty days. If it doesn't work — if you don't see a difference, if it doesn't feel right, for any reason — you get your money back. We don't ask questions. We don't make you fill out a form. We refund you and we mean it.
