Aurore Skincare

At Aurore we strive to improve the quality of life for people everywhere by creating exceptional natural skincare.

Over 1 million Cambodians have migrated to work in other Southeast Asian Countries in pursuit of economic opportunities. Many people travel illegally with brokers, which makes them vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. It is our firm stance that everyone deserves to live a dignified life, free from oppression, which is why we're creating skincare for humanity.

We are developing a unique, natural skincare line, derived from powerful raw ingredients native to Cambodia that revive and rejuvenate the skin. Our company is committed to creating safe, effective and natural skincare for consumers that are free of chemicals, parabens, synthetics, and other toxins. Aurore is a brand that you can trust.

Our standards for quality are evident in every facet of our operations from seed to shelf.

Aurore works directly with anti-trafficking organizations in Cambodia to create economic opportunity for vulnerable communities through integration in our supply chain. We source our natural ingredients through farming cooperatives that employ survivors of human trafficking and those at-risk. It is our mission to disrupt the cycle of poverty that fuels human trafficking and to support these individuals and their families as they rebuild their lives.

Our business model is founded upon our investment in the communities we serve. Aurore uses a bottom-up approach to management to promote co-creation and to encourage individual development and growth for the people we seek to empower. Not only do we provide economic opportunity for trafficking survivors and at-risk individuals, but we also invest in vocational skills training for these women and men. It is our hope that Aurore will offer stability for people like Arun who are recovering from challenging situations and inspire these individuals to start their own businesses when they're back on their feet.

How will we use your money?

We don't believe in cutting corners when it comes to taking care of ourselves. Your health is an investment and we want to ensure that our products are made with the utmost care.

Funding for this campaign will allow us to complete the research and development of our innovative skincare formula and to ensure that we comply with all FDA and EU safety regulations. Additionally, the money raised will cover our operational costs including the Aurore online platform, brand development, and product design.

Finalizing the research and development is a crucial step that will enable our company to bring consumers like you the highest quality natural products and to help women and men like Arun. With your financial support, we are slated to begin production in 2018!

Team Aurore

Together, Deborah and Erin have over 13 years of experience in humanitarian assistance, international development, global operations, marketing, sales and management in addition to their extensive knowledge of natural therapies and skincare.

Deborah and Erin met while taking a business class during their final semesters of graduate school at American University in Washington, D.C. They became fast friends as they discovered each other’s passion and dedication to social change.

Both women believe in the power of collaboration between the public and private sector to solve complex social problems. Together they set out to create Aurore, a social enterprise that applies private sector resources and techniques to confront human trafficking, the most horrific violation of human rights.

Deborah and Erin are based in Washington, D.C. where, on any given day, you will find them working tirelessly alongside one another at local co-working spaces around town!

Thank you so much for your support. Together, we will change lives!!
