Our Story
Our drive to better your beauty routine sets the foundation for every Sigma Beauty creation. We’re looking to you and your everyday for inspiration, then infusing the highest-quality materials, ingredients and technology to build solutions you’ll revel in. Every innovative beauty tool, texture, formula and cosmetic color makes your life easier, more fun and uniquely-beautiful.
It all began in 2009 with power-couple Dr. Simone Xavier and Rene Xavier Filho, a molecular bacteriologist and civil engineer, respectively. They launched Sigma with just one brush set that instantly captured a cult-following and sold out.
Since then, an impassioned, 85% female team has joined together and we haven’t stopped developing new ways to transform your beauty routine. We are listeners and problem solvers working to empower all beauty users’ lives, it’s what sets our brand apart.
We are the sum of our passions symbolized by Σ, the capital Greek letter for a mathematical sum called "Sigma."
