S2E6: Mandy McIntosh Inventor of the Makeup Mitty!

This musician turned downright inventor is someone you'll want to listen to for sure!

Amanda McIntosh is the Founder and CEO of Take My Face Off, a Los Angeles-based brand that creates reusable, super soft makeup removing Makeup Mittys and Mitty Minis that are much better for the environment than single-use products like makeup wipes and cotton balls.

She became interested in beauty after searching for soft washcloths for her own skincare routine. As she spent more time researching the beauty industry, McIntosh was dismayed to learn of the environmental costs of facial wipes and cheap cotton balls. Her idea of upgrading washcloths turned into something bigger.

TMFO is on the forefront of combating the beauty waste issue with gentle and effective beauty tools. Plus, they take off every trace of makeup, are way cuter than a gross old washcloth, and can even be used on eyelash extensions! Their newest launch is the Mitty Ex, the first-of-its-kind dual-sided reusable makeup remover that both cleanses and exfoliates the skin. In addition, there’s the Mitty Max, the largest Mitty yet that's meant for both face AND body.

TMFO also collaborated with world-famous lip artist, Vlada, to create Vlada's Mitty Pout, a reusable lip cleansing tool that removes even the most stubborn lip color with ease.
