Fresh Founders
In 1991, Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg were Russian immigrants living in Boston, and they saw the need for beauty that was both effective and indulgent.
Natural Born Pioneers
They started dreaming about opening a shop that offered natural products from around the world, where the ambience was friendly like the food bazaars of Europe. With that, fresh was born.
Original Shopkeepers
Lev and Alina opened a store that instantly engaged their community, touching peopleโs hearts as well as their skin๏ปฟ. Their first product was a soap that they hand-wrapped themselves.
Sky's the Limit
When they couldnโt find products that looked, smelled, and felt as good as they worked, they started making their own. That same passion and pioneering spirit has kept the brand innovative for decades.
What began as a small collection in a neighborhood shop has evolved into a full lifestyle line of skincare, lip care, bodycare, and fragrance sold all over the world. The sensoriality of our productsโtheir textures and scentsโsets them apart. But theyโre also scientifically proven to work extremely well. Itโs this combination of high efficacy and amazing sensations that weโre known for, and why those who know us love us. Lev says fresh creates products people donโt know they needโand then canโt live without. Our founders still work with the brand every day to fulfill their original dream of making beauty that performs and transforms.
We are driven by our never complacent indie spirit where the sky's the limit. This approach is initiated by Lev and Alina and lived by the entire organization. Our boundless curiosity fuels our search for the extraordinary, whether itโs a moment of pleasure in nature or an experience of generosity in our shops. Where fresh goes, beauty follows. Weโre pioneersโin product, in experience, in culture, and in process. We believe that fresh is more than what it sells; itโs the emotional connection to the brand that we call the sixth sense. Itโs the heartfelt experience๏ปฟ we craft for our people and our guests.
