1. The Inspiration Behind TILT
Aerin Glazer had enough of the beauty world’s niceties about “inclusivity" falling short when it came to true accessibility. Living with chronic pain herself, she understood the frustration of facing beauty products that were anything but easy to use. That common struggle sparked her vision for TILT. She saw a gap in the market for products designed with thoughtful features that cater to those with arthritis or other conditions affecting physical dexterity. Instead of compromising style for function, her mission was clear: beauty that does it all. Her own life challenges now empower others to enjoy not just convenient, but soulfully inclusive, beauty products.
2. Innovative Packaging Design
Tilt's packaging is not just about looks; it's truly groundbreaking in its design. The ergonomic shape ensures easy handling, which is a godsend for those with dexterity challenges—imagine contoured edges that fit perfectly in your grip! What's more, the inclusion of Braille ensures that reading the labels isn't a hurdle. They've even used the Atkinson Hyperlegible font, a thoughtful touch for those with low vision.
Refillable options are a sweet nod to Mother Earth, trimming down on waste. It's refreshing to see beauty brands blend accessibility with eco-friendliness, showing that being kind to both people and planet is fashionable. Ever seen packaging as thoughtful as this? I doubt it.
3. Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use Certification
Isn't it fantastic when a brand genuinely understands the hurdles faced by others and actively works to alleviate them? TILT has done just that by achieving the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use Certification. As the very first beauty brand to snag this recognition, TILT shows that accessibility shouldn’t compromise chicness.
Imagine dealing with painful, stiff joints and trying to open a mascara. TILT gets it. They've created packaging that’s thoughtfully designed to be a breeze for those with arthritis or chronic pain. For anyone who's ever struggled opening a product, TILT's attention to detail feels like a long-awaited embrace. Kudos to TILT for putting empathy at the forefront of beauty design!
4. National Psoriasis Foundation Seal of Recognition
Imagine finally finding makeup that's gentle enough for sensitive skin, yet beautiful and effective. It’s exciting to see TILT Clean Makeup gaining the National Psoriasis Foundation Seal of Recognition, an affirmation of their dedication to non-irritating formulations. This award isn't handed out lightly, and it's particularly comforting for those struggling with psoriasis or extremely sensitive skin.
For me, it’s like a warm hug from the beauty industry saying, “We’ve got you.” By crafting products designed to minimize irritation, TILT allows users to indulge in beauty routines without the constant worry of triggering skin issues. It’s a major step in inclusivity that speaks volumes.
5. Lashscape Mascara
When it comes to TILT’s Lashscape Mascara, it’s not just another tube to toss in your makeup bag; it redefines what mascara can do. The ergonomic design with a shortened wand and patented grip makes it a breeze for anyone to use, including those with arthritis or limited hand mobility. It's not just functional—it's kind to your lashes because it's loaded with TILT Calm Complex. Think peptides and keratin fortifying every swipe, while colloidal oatmeal soothes your lash line. Plus, it’s refillable, slashing plastic use by a significant 76%. It's a win for both us and the planet.
6. Grip Stick Hydrating Lip Treatment
TILT's Grip Stick is like the cozy sweater for your lips—it's all about comfort with a sprinkle of luxe. Imagine a balm that not only hydrates but also pampers your lips with creamy textures and calming ingredients like colloidal oatmeal and ceramides. The secret? Hyaluronic acid joins the party, making sure your lips stay lush, never parched.
The real gem here is the design. A soft-touch casing that embraces your grip, making opening and closing a literal snap, thanks to magnetic closures. Perfect for when fingers are stiff or achy. And let's talk shades: from subtle nudes like 'Coffee Break' to vibrant tones for cocktail hours.
All this thought, just so applying lip balm is a joy, not a chore. Beautiful and pragmatic—you deserve both.
7. Sustainability and Refillable Solutions
A standout feature of TILT Beauty is its unwavering dedication to sustainability through refillable solutions. By designing products with refillable packaging, TILT significantly decreases plastic waste—a huge win for the environment. Take their Lashscape Mascara, for instance. It reduces plastic use by a whopping 76%. But what’s even better is that you’re not just supporting the planet; you’re also getting top-notch quality. It’s a smart move not only environmentally but economically as well. Instead of buying a whole new product, you just replace the content. Reusable with finesse!
8. Founder Aerin Glazer's Vision
Aerin Glazer envisioned a beauty line where no one would have to choose between function and flair. As someone who lives with chronic pain, she knows firsthand how frustrating beauty routines can be. Traditional products often feel like a chore. What she aimed for with TILT was a seamless blend—functional beauty that doesn't skimp on aesthetics.
Imagine reaching for your mascara and effortlessly gliding it on, the ergonomics so thoughtfully designed that it feels like an extension of your hand, not an obstacle. That's the magic of TILT, bringing beauty routines within easy reach, literally and figuratively. With TILT, Glazer wants to ensure beauty is accessible to everyone, celebrating daily self-care rituals without compromise.
TILT, from the onset, has shown a commitment to reshaping how we perceive and use beauty products by focusing on inclusivity and ease of use. Their ergonomic packaging not only sacrifices nothing in the aesthetics department but ensures that everyone, regardless of physical limitations, can enjoy their products.
Moreover, environmentally conscious refillable options set a new industry standard. As the first to earn the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use Certification and the National Psoriasis FoundationSeal of Recognition, TILT indeed pioneers a new era in beauty. It's a refreshing change to see a brand that truly values both its users and the planet. Can't wait to see what’s next from them!
