Our mission
We want the And Begin woman to boldly exist in her space and to be at home in her skin. To know she is seen, accepted, and to feel represented. Her age means nothing to us, but her stories, experience and wisdom are everything. To her our products bring moments of joy with results that make her feel good. Our brand is her tribe, her community, a place where she belongs. We have the radical notion to dismantle the idea that ageing is to be prevented and that the goal is always youth. Instead, we champion the beauty of her spirit reflected in healthy skin. We encourage a life being lived unapologetically; the freedom to define yourself
Our purpose
We exist to make ageing aspirational. To eradicate stigma and celebrate the privilege of a life well-lived. To inspire, encourage, empower, and support every woman (person) to live fully and wholly as the most vibrant version of themselves. We are pro-ageing not anti-ageing
We want women over 40 to feel seen, heard and understood. We celebrate the aesthetic of ageing skin. The wisdom. Knowledge, life experiences and stories of our customers.
We are elevated but not pompous
All videos MUST have a 'Premium' feel.

TOV WRITING RULES (this will apply to creators and their scripts)
Every word we write and every sentence we craft is an opportunity to connect with our customers and:
-Elevate the experience
-Awaken the senses
-Answer questions
-Make connections
-Show empathy
-Create delight
'This and These'
When we talk about our product(s) we say ‘this’ and ‘these’.
Example:
This retinoic acid is designed to treat the first signs of ageing.
This formulation…
This night cream…
These bespoke products…
Elongate to elevate
Short words are great for everyday and saying what needs to
be said. However, sometimes we can indulge our customer with longer word choices and scientific/technical language.
Example:
Best - Optimum Strength - Potency
Goals - Aspirations Formula - Formulation
Helps - Alleviates Dark patches - Hyperpigmentation
Beautify your adjectives
Plump for adjectives dial down the hard sell and paint a more sensorial picture.
Example:
Great - Sublime Soft - Velvety
Beautiful - Exquisite Glowing - Luminous
Effective - Efficacious Creamy - Sumptuous
Set the scene
Add a layer of detail at the start of the sentence to describe the action that follows. Add a sense of occasion to the ordinary.
Example:
When - Before bedtime, apply lashings of this luscious night cream to your face and neck.
How often - Every day, indulge in your bespoke brightening ritual.
Where - In the mirror, see your lines reduced and confidence increased.
How it happens - With dedicated use comes undeniable results.
