Third-generation Mexican-American Christina Kelmon and Chilean Ann Dunning are two former tech-industry employees who broke away from Silicon Valley to start Vamigas: a skin-care brand founded in clean beauty. Using natural and ancestral ingredients sourced from various Latin American countries, their skin-care line is a return to "plant-based basics" that steps away from the harmful toxins commonly found in mainstream beauty-product formulations. The brand's Rosa Mosqueta Organic Chilean Rosehip Oil ($23) is made with 100 percent USDA Certified organic Rosa Mosqueta oil sourced directly from the Andes; they call it "nature's retinol." This oil provides intense moisture to soothe skin and vitamin A to reduce fine lines.
