Kristin Cavallari Teases Uncommon Beauty Expansion and Talks Glowing Skin Goals
Kristin Cavallari is betting big on her beauty line.
The 38-year-old reality star-turned-entrepreneur and podcast host revealed plans to focus on expanding Uncommon Beauty — the skin care subsidiary of her jewelry brand, Uncommon James — during a discussion at ShopToday's Stages summit on Thursday.

When asked what's next for her and her brand, Cavallari was coy, careful not to reveal too much. 'I'm really focusing on my beauty line,' she hinted.
Cavallari went on to chronicle the evolution of the Uncommon business, from its original start with jewelry in 2017 to the debut of her clean product line four years later, which now includes a few body care essentials. 'Honestly, how the [beauty] aspect came about was that my team noticed a few years ago that people's number-one question was actually what my skin care routine was,' she said. 'And so I never really thought about doing skin care, but I thought, 'Well, you know, may as well just explore this and see.''
Creating clean product alternatives was, at the time, not the norm, Cavallari recalled. 'I thought I was using clean skin care, but then we sent it off to the lab and came to find out, it wasn't clean at all. We think the products we use are doing a good thing for our skin, but they're affecting the opposite when there are all these chemicals and everything in them,' she said. 'So, that was actually kind of alarming to me, and that made me want to do skin care.'
The market for clean beauty has certainly grown since Cavallari debuted her first round of face essentials. However, there were a few preexisting brands such as Youth to the People and Jessica Alba's Honest Beauty, both of which launched in 2015, followed by Summer Fridays in 2018. Sasha Plavsic founded Ilia Beauty back in 2011.
While there may be an oversaturation of clean brands now, Cavallari said she has no reason to back down from the beast that is the beauty business, or any product industry for that reason. ' There are a million clean skin care out there now. But we've evolved from just being 'clean' and now it's more that we're taking a stance on being really hydrating and going after that glowy, radiant skin. Clean is a bonus,' she explained.
At this point, reinvention is second nature for Cavallari, a now mom of three who was catapulted into the spotlight at just 17 years old as a pioneer reality star on the MTV series 'Laguna Beach.' The chance to be on-screen as a teenager was an opportunity Cavallari jumped at and still doesn't regret to this day, she said, likening the decision to starting Uncommon James with no business plan all by herself. 'Learning what not to do is valuable,' she noted.
Cavallari has since opened up four Uncommon James stores and entered the fragrance market with a unisex scent called Hard Feelings. The formula fuses notes of rose, hibiscus, incense, tobacco, pepper, bergamot, cedarwood, sandalwood and orcanox.

Michael Jackson's Thriller surges back into the top 10 on the Vinyl Albums chart and climbs across ... More five Billboard rankings as sales rise more than 28%. Michael Jackson attends The Martell Foundation Benefit Dinner at the New York Hilton Hotel on April 14, 1984. (Photo by Mike Guastella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) More than 40 years after it first became one of the biggest albums of all time, Thriller by Michael Jackson continues to prove its lasting appeal. The multi-genre, hit-packed collection remains present on several rankings in the United States, and this time around, it even manages to return to the top 10 as sales climb and Americans keep falling in love with the superstar's music again and again. Thriller's Sales Rise Sales of Thriller across all formats grew by more than 28% from one week to the most recent tracking period. Luminate reports that the set sold 3,900 copies in the U.S. in the previous tracking frame. That sum is enough to push Thriller from No. 17 to No. 10 on the Vinyl Albums chart. Not all of those purchases were on wax, but Thriller has remained a must-own for vinyl collectors for a long time, so it can usually be found on the list. At the same time, the Grammy-winning effort jumps from No. 30 to No. 25 on the Top Album Sales ranking, which blends all formats, including vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital downloads. Thriller Lives on Five Billboard Charts Thriller can be found on five charts this week, and it ascends on all of them. In addition to both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums tallies, the collection lives inside the top 40 on both the Top R&B Albums and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, surging to Nos. 13 and 29, respectively. Michael Jackson Climbs the Billboard 200 Thriller enjoys its greatest lift on the Billboard 200, a general consumption ranking. On that tally, it rockets 30 spaces north, landing at No. 108. The full-length moved 11,500 equivalent units in the tracking period reflected on the current Billboard charts, with most of that activity coming from streaming platforms. Michael Jackson's Multiple Hit Albums Jackson claims a pair of hit albums in the U.S. at the moment, as is often the case. The Essential Michael Jackson, which features many of the songs that come from Thriller as well as numerous other smashes, rises to No. 88 on the Billboard 200 while holding steady on the Top R&B Albums (No. 10) and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts (No. 23).

Man Reunites Baby Sloth with Mom and She Says 'Thank You' in the Sweetest Way Possible
Man Reunites Baby Sloth with Mom and She Says 'Thank You' in the Sweetest Way Possible originally appeared on PetHelpful. We all love a story with a happy ending, especially when it comes to animals that need help. Baby sloths occasionally fall out of trees, and without human intervention, they often are never reunited with their moms. But that's not the case for this sloth and her baby. Wildlife Rescuers shared the video of the rescue, and it'll make you smile. It's always heartwarming to see someone reunite a baby sloth with their mother, but this video was a bit different because the mother actually says thank you to the rescuer after she gets her baby back. Mom hugs her baby, happy to have them back, but what she does next is the sweetest thank you you'll ever see! And if you've never heard a baby sloth before, make sure your sound is on! It probably won't be surprising to hear that Wildlife Rescuers' video of the sloth thanking her rescuer immediately went viral and has more than 10 million views and over 5 thousand comments. People loved the sweet exchange between the grateful mother and the rescuer! Commenter @ItzKat pointed out, "That's probably the fastest she's ever moved," while @gusncharly joked, "Mom's thinking you just saved her a 3-hour trip down to the base of the tree to pick up the little guy! LOL!" @Dena swooned, "How appreciative she was to the rescuer." @Durton said what we were all thinking, "I don't think I could ever let go! What an amazing experience!"Did you know that, unlike some other baby animals, baby sloths are born weighing only 10 ounces, but they are born with sharp claws and a full set of teeth? Not only that, but they can climb as soon as they're born. While they are supposed to cling to their mother's fur for the first six months, just like toddlers, they enjoy exploring their new world. This may explain why so many of them get separated from their mom because if they let go, they fall. Baby sloths may explore, but they can't run away from mom since they only move at a whopping 15 feet per minute. Imagine how long it would take for Mom to climb down to retrieve her baby or try to get across a busy road. Here's a fun sloth fact: Some sloths live their entire lives in the same tree. Since they can live for up to 40 years, I imagine it must get incredibly boring to never leave the tree! Man Reunites Baby Sloth with Mom and She Says 'Thank You' in the Sweetest Way Possible first appeared on PetHelpful on Jun 28, 2025 This story was originally reported by PetHelpful on Jun 28, 2025, where it first appeared.
