With a background in the natural health products industry, McGregor stated in a Vancouver Sun May 11, 2013,[4] Style Q&A article, “As I neared 40, it became more important to me that I could feel confident my skin care was working. There came a point where I just couldn’t find anything that I believed was effective and at a price point I was comfortable paying. My business partner, Christie Angeloni, who has experience in cosmetology, felt the same way.” [5]
