Anne Nguyen Oliver is the Founder/CEO of House of M Beauty. House of M Beauty is a skincare brand that offers a curated range of luxurious saffron skincare products. Their formulas are centered around premium and potent medicinal saffron, which is known for its brightening, calming, and protective properties.
In this episode, Anne shares her journey of creating House of M. After battling post-traumatic stress disorder following childbirth, her doctor recommended medicinal saffron as a safer alternative to medications while breastfeeding. This improved her sleep, reduced anxiety, and brightened her skin. Anne then developed a saffron-infused miracle serum and other skincare products, initially selling them on Facebook to her local Vietnamese community.
Today, her line is sold at Nordstrom, with sales expected to reach $8 million in 2023. As an AAPI businesswoman in the U.S., Anne's story is a powerful motivation for aspiring entrepreneurs.
