How It All Started

Evangeline did not set out to create another skincare brand. She set out to fix a problem.

After years of cycling through expensive products, harsh treatments and temporary fixes, especially with sensitive and reactive skin, one thing became clear. Most skincare treats symptoms, not causes, and many people experience this same cycle.

Stress. Environment. Diet. Hormones. Nervous system responses. Skin is intelligent and it is constantly communicating.

Zoë + Hope was born from a simple but powerful question. What if skincare could actually talk to your skin, instead of fighting it?

So Evangeline went deeper. Combining an engineer's problem solving mindset, neuroscience and formulation science, she began developing products that work with the skin’s biology, not against it. Products designed to calm, repair and strengthen at a foundational level.

Not louder.
Not harsher.
Just smarter.

About Zoë + Hope

Zoë + Hope was created for people who have been told “your skin is just sensitive” as if that is the end of the conversation. We believe it is the beginning.

At the heart of Zoë + Hope is our founder, Evangeline Thai, an energetic problem-solver who blends creativity with an engineer’s mindset and a deep curiosity about how skin actually works.

She is the kind of person who will say, “Did you know your skin has taste buds?” and then explain exactly why that matters.

What Makes Zoë + Hope Different

Every Zoë + Hope formulation is created, tested and refined with one goal. To restore balance, resilience and confidence to sensitive or problematic skin.

This is skincare built on:

  • Root-cause thinking, not quick fixes
  • Clinical research with heart
  • Gentle formulations that deliver visible results

What started as a mission to bring comfort to reactive skin has become a promise. To rebuild strength, restore dignity and help people feel at home in their skin again.

Because when your skin feels calm, everything else feels lighter.

Crafted With Care

Evangeline is deeply hands-on from formulation to manufacturing to innovation. She does not stop at “good enough,” and she does not believe in compromising integrity for trends or scale.

Zoë + Hope exists for people who want skincare that:

  • Respects sensitive skin
  • Works intelligently and efficiently
  • Feels human, not clinical
  • And actually delivers on its promise

This is not about masking issues. It is about solving them thoughtfully, compassionately and intelligently.
