About DECIEM
DECIEM was founded in 2013 with a clear mission: to change the beauty industry by challenging its norms. The name ‘DECIEM’ comes from the Latin word for ten because the goal was always to build multiple brands that break boundaries and challenge industry norms. So the founders called the company DECIEM, followed by The Abnormal Beauty Company for the sake of disrupting the industry with doing things differently by making skincare accessible, transparent, and developing products with integrity. This was our goal with naming products after the ingredients inside of them and offering them at sensible prices, and continues to be a core value within our company. We develop products that are designed to be functional and to deliver results. We believe that effectiveness is the most important thing in the beauty and skin care sector, by offering high-quality formulations with an honest price point through an educational lens. The Ordinary takes a research and science-first approach to creating skincare with all concepts coming from the lab rather than a marketing team.
This month's PRiME Lunch & Learn is sponsored by DECIEM.
