Skincare is one of the few things that gets close to you every single day. It is there first thing in the morning and last thing at night, on the good days and the difficult ones. Over time, that adds up to something more than a routine. It becomes a relationship.

HEDO was created to be worthy of that relationship.

We believe skincare should do more than chase a temporary result. It should be thoughtfully formulated for the skin you have today and with an eye toward the skin you want years from now.

That is the idea behind HEDO: high-performance, unisex skincare built around purposeful formulation, advanced ingredient and delivery technologies, and a skin-longevity mindset.

FOUNDER

Christy Curtis Buss

Christy Curtis Buss grew up in her mother's dance studio in St. Louis, Missouri, where movement, discipline, creativity and caring for others became part of her life from an early age.

In 1979, she won the ABC television special All American Girl and moved to Los Angeles. She went on to cheer for the Los Angeles Rams, became dance captain and traveled the world on eight USO tours. Her career later expanded into choreography for daytime television and professional sports, including the LA Sparks, LA Rams and LA Clippers.

In 1993, following in her mother's footsteps, Christy opened The Studio Art of Dance in El Segundo, California. For more than three decades, she has taught thousands of students, from young children taking their first dance class to senior citizens discovering that movement has no age limit.

HEDO grew from many of those same beliefs.

Christy believes that how we care for ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and that skincare can be a meaningful part of that relationship. What began as her passion for creating exceptional skincare has grown into a continuing pursuit of better ingredients, smarter formulation, advanced delivery technologies and the emerging science of skin longevity.

For Christy, HEDO isn't about standing still. It's about continuing to learn, question, improve and reach for what skincare can become next.

“Think of HEDO as a moonshot mixed with a labor of love. I can't promise a handwritten note with every order, though I try. But when you do receive one, know that it came from me, and it came from the heart.”

Darious Clark

Born in Washington, D.C., Darious earned a full scholarship to play Division I basketball while studying sociology, then spent 13 years playing professionally overseas. Living and working across very different cultures taught him to meet and accept people where they are and for who they are.

He joined Christy at HEDO on a shared set of principles, and he keeps the brand honest about what it is for.

“I like to think of HEDO as a home — for anyone who needs one, and even for those who don't. At its core, HEDO is about love. We're here to spread positivity and uplift others.”
