ABOUT VUDARRI

VUDARRI was founded by entrepreneur and social media influencer, Taylor Monaco. Back in 2015, Taylor decided to make a conscious effort to take better care of her skin. Making her skin a top priority, she became obsessed with paying close attention to ingredient panels and labels on hundreds of skincare products, and testing out product after product. She dove head first into focusing on preventive measures to give her skin just what it needed to thrive, glow, and age the healthiest way it could. Taylor began to notice a trend of beauty brands being called out for their lack of “safe” ingredients and learned quickly that our regulations here in the US are not as strict as they were in other places around the globe…. and not in a good way. Upon having multiple products that she would layer on her skin in an attempt to reap the benefits she was looking for and having gained knowledge on the lack of smarter ingredients used in a lot of her products, VUDARRI was born. The next 2 years were spent doing research, completing online skin courses, and working with various chemists to develop a line of products that met her standards and contained the ingredients she was searching for while maintaining a lengthy “free of” list to eliminate ingredients that have recently been found to not be as “safe” as people previously thought.

Being completely self-funded and without a full team, Taylor started VUDARRI from scratch having had a drive to own her own business one day. She has made an effort to stay eco-friendly by choosing glass over plastic and recyclable materials where she can. She is very selective on packaging solutions, trying her best to have as little waste as possible while holding true to her love for pretty and fun packaging.

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Taylor was born In Honolulu, Hi, raised in Birmingham, AL, and is currently living in Nashville, TN. She attended multiple colleges starting at the University of Alabama and finishing at Belmont University where she majored in Public Relations with a minor in Biology. She graduated from Belmont in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science Degree. Shortly after graduating, she took a job working for a social media marketing company. There she started in sales, then switched to recruiting, and this is when she quickly learned that the Monday – Friday 9-5 office job was not something she enjoyed and saw long term for her life. Taylor left her full time job and worked part time modeling, and part time doing web design to allow her more flexibility and more freedom. From there, she was approached to film for a reality tv series where she eventually started growing a bigger audience on social media. During this time she married her husband, Mike, and shortly after that welcomed their daughter, Walker.

Three years later Taylor is now working as a social media influencer while building her own business behind the scenes. Taylor and Mike are anticipating the arrival of their second baby girl at the end of the year. Taylor couldn’t be more ready and excited to OFFICIALLY launch her clean and luxurious skincare brand, VUDARRI in 2022.
