The natural beauty brand, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yunibeauty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YUNI<\/a>, founded by husband and wife duo, Emmanuel Rey and Suzanne Dawson. The power couple&#8217;s shared passion for active living and mindful products created one of our favorite beauty brands. Read on to learn more!&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-featured-beauty\/aerie\/s-cat\/7630017?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_170720_108\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Can you tell us a little about your brand and the inspiration behind your products?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Emmanuel Rey:<\/strong> My wife Suzanne and I have been in the beauty industry for over 20&nbsp;years in various corporations (Mostly l\u2019Oreal and Estee Lauder). Suzanne&nbsp;was a the head of&nbsp;Global&nbsp;marketing for Aveda and I was General Manager for&nbsp;Aveda, Bumble &amp; Bumble, Darphin for&nbsp;North America. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2012, we&nbsp;decided to leave the corporate&nbsp;environment&nbsp;to travel&nbsp;around the world for a full year.&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">At that stage, we had been practicing Yoga for over 10 years and we took&nbsp;advantage of our trip to pass our teacher certification for Ashtanga Yoga in&nbsp;Greece.&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">While talking to our fellow&nbsp;students, we found out that there was no beauty brand that had been specifically&nbsp;designed for&nbsp;\u201cactive people\u201d.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">At the same time, we were impressed by the success of all&nbsp;the&nbsp;\u201cathleisure\u201d brands (LuluLemon, Sweaty Betty, Lorna Jane etc). It became clear that&nbsp;there was a&nbsp;white space in the beauty market to serve the needs of&nbsp;\u201cactive people\u201d.&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">We worked&nbsp;with a large group of experts in Yoga and Fitness, we came down to 3 key insights: Saving time, Enhancing&nbsp;performance,&nbsp;Relieving stress.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">While we&nbsp;developed the range&nbsp;with Yoga and fitness in mind, as it is our&nbsp;background, it&nbsp;became&nbsp;clear that other people could benefit from our products (who does not want to save&nbsp;time, perform better or manage stress).<\/span><span class=\"s1\">That being&nbsp;said, Yoga is a very&nbsp;personal ritual, a&nbsp;moment you take away from the rest of the&nbsp;world. Beauty is also very much a personal ritual and that is why through the products YUNI helps to reinforce these&nbsp;rituals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">YUNI&nbsp;prepares the body and the mind, delivers treatment&nbsp;benefits&nbsp;while you work out, aids express clean-up and post recovery, and helps to recall the powerful benefits of your practice, at will. We launched our first products in&nbsp;September 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/yuni-gif.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shop now:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-yuni-beauty-12-pack-shower-sheets-multi\/aerie\/s-prod\/0845_5293_900?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_170720_104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">12 Pack Shower Sheets<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-yuni-beauty-pocket-savasana-multi\/aerie\/s-prod\/0845_5294_900?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_170720_105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pocket Savasana<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-yuni-beauty-travel-size-flash-bath-multi\/aerie\/s-prod\/0845_5295_900?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_170720_106\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travel Size Flash Bath<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-yuni-beauty-sweat-refresh-go-travel-essentials-multi\/aerie\/s-prod\/0845_5297_900?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_170720_107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sweat, Refresh, Go Travel Essentials&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">YUNI\u2019s products embody a responsible beauty philosophy.
