Startup of the Week - Little-Known Box

by Startacus Admin
For many years, the beauty industry has been dominated by multinational corporations and global brands, however more recently there has been a noticeable shift with increasing numbers of smaller brands coming on the scene and seeking to make their mark. And the good news is that our latest Startup of the Week is on a mission to help those smaller brands do just that.
Little-Known Box is a beauty subscription box which has a focus on independent, niche and upcoming and emerging brands only.
Each month the boxes contain a range of both full and sample size beauty products - from skincare and grooming products through to nail art and beauty accessories. The products that are featured are, wherever possible, vegan friendly, cruelty free, organic and natural. They’re all chosen “with ethics and wellness in mind.”
As with most subscription services, with Little-Known Box you can order on a one-off basis or subscribe for 3, 6 or 12 months. Gift subscriptions are also available.
Little-Known Box is helping beauty lovers to access and discover new and innovative products whilst simultaneously helping the creators of those products to grow their brands and market share. A win win for all concerned then!
Incidentally if you happen to be one of those independent or emerging beauty brands, you can contact the team at Little-Known Box directly and see how you could perhaps partner up and have your products featured in future boxes. We reckon you’d be foolish not to!
