My Mission
Monet Skincare is a teen-focused beauty brand founded by 17-year-old Talia Hecht. The brand’s first product, an oil-free moisturizer designed for sensitive and acne-prone teen skin, is formulated with natural ingredients to hydrate, soothe, and balance the skin. Monet Skincare is committed to providing high-quality, cruelty-free skincare products while supporting youth through charitable donations to non-profit organizations, Raise the Volume and Bonnie Brae.
Beyond creating a skincare line that addresses the needs of teens, Talia is passionate about giving back. A portion of proceeds from Monet Skincare will support Bonnie Brae and Raise the Volume - two local non-profits. Bonnie Brae is a residential school for youth without families or resources and Raise the Volume raises funds for deaf students pursuing education. Monet Skincare’s purpose is to redefine the beauty market by giving underserved teens the gift of accessible, teen-safe skincare.
Monet Skincare was born out of Talia’s passion for beauty and her years of experience working at the Blo Blow Dry Bar, where she developed an interest in skincare and hospitality. Over the last three years, she has attended formulation workshops and beauty conferences, studying natural ingredients that are beneficial to skin health.
“I wanted to create a skincare line that speaks to my generation’s needs – something clean, effective, and anti-inflammatory that helps teens feel confident in their skin. This product is about much more than skincare. It’s about supporting teens in crisis, too.”
“I wanted to help these young women discover their own sense of confidence and embrace their authentic selves. Through my work at Blo in Bernardsville, I’ve raised funds and gathered donations of products and services to contribute to this mission. My hope is to share not just beauty products, but the empowerment and self-assurance that comes with them.”
