Our Company
We’re proud of our beauty heritage, but even prouder of what it’s helped us build. Today’s LimeLife by Alcone is the evolution of that small store in the theater district, with decades more experience but all of the heart and drive. We’re still always learning, working tirelessly together to source professional makeup and all-natural skin care that really performs. LimeLife has expanded across the world, but family is still at the heart of who we are: committed to quality, nurturing of individuality and driven to help others pursue passions of their own.
Our Heritage
Our family-owned company was founded in 1952, selling stage makeup to starlets out of a small store in New York City. We got to know some of the top artists in theater and film, bonding over our shared pride in our work. We realized quickly that our passion for top-quality professional makeup was matched only by a drive to help people pursue passions of their own. As makeup artists began referring their clients to us to learn about favorite products, we recognized that same drive in so many others.
To Our Beauty Guides
Our LimeLife family includes an incredible
community of Beauty Guides. What began
as an informal referral system has grown into
a powerful opportunity to help others
uncover their own inner confidence and
outer radiance. We’re committed to
supporting every Beauty Guide
unconditionally as they reach confidently
toward their goals.

To Our Planet
As members of our greater community, it’s important to us that LimeLife cosmetics are as kind to the planet as possible. All LimeLife skin care is Leaping Bunny-certified cruelty-free and chemical-free. Our professional makeup is Leaping Bunny-certified cruelty-free and as natural as possible without sacrificing its performance. You can help us keep our planet clean by recycling our clamshell packaging and reusing your LimeLife palettes. When you purchase a refill of your favorite shades, we’ll also make a donation to the Brighter Together Foundation to help your good deed go even further. We’ve also partnered with TerraCycle® to offer a free recycling program for the rest of our skin care and makeup packaging. Everything from bottles and tubes to pumps and caps can be mailed in to become raw and reused material!

Our LimeLife community is made up of an incredibly diverse group of people with one very important goal in common: to empower ourselves and others. In 2017, we seized the opportunity to spread that spirit even further and established the Brighter Together Foundation. When you purchase one of our Brighter Together Collections, you help provide entrepreneurial field training and support to women in the world’s most impoverished countries. We pass 100% of our funding onto our charitable partner, Project Concern International’s (PCI) Women Empowered (WE) Initiative. WE members pool their savings and make loans to one another, and PCI gives the women guidance to start their own successful businesses. Together, we have already helped over 13,000 female entrepreneurs become leaders in their communities.
