Divi Founder Dani Austin Named BeautyMatter's 2025 Entrepreneur of the Year
This honor celebrates not only Divi's category-defining innovation, but also Dani's transformative impact as a creator-CEO. A Forbes Top Creator for three consecutive years and 2023's Influencer of the Year, Dani turned her personal hair loss journey into a viral, $40M+ brand that sells a Scalp Serum every minute.
'This award is more than a personal milestone, it's a tribute to the community that believed in Divi's mission to make scalp care cool and accessible,' said Dani Austin, founder and CEO of Divi. 'Being recognized by BeautyMatter, an industry authority that truly understands brand-building in today's creator-driven landscape, is incredibly meaningful.'
The BeautyMatter Awards spotlight excellence across the beauty industry, honoring brands, founders, and innovators who move the industry forward with creativity, purpose, and integrity. Winners were selected by an independent panel of category experts based on relevancy, impact, and innovation.
'In a world that has become increasingly transactional, we remain committed to recognizing good work based solely on merit,' said BeautyMatter Founder and CEO, Kelly Kovack. 'When someone is recognized as a BeautyMatter Award winner, it's because they put in the work to be the best.'
Winners were selected by a panel of independent judges—each a leading expert in their respective category—who evaluated entries based on relevancy, impact, and innovation. This year's honorees represent the forefront of beauty, from visionary product design to brand leadership that drives positive change.
'Numerous beauty industry award ceremonies tend to be politicized or connected to product promotion. In contrast, the BeautyMatter Awards stand out as a refreshing and dynamic experience. Their vibrancy, rawness, and edginess align precisely with the industry pulse that BeautyMatter understands so well, ' said Dr. Robb Akridge, Founder & CEO of Opulus Labs and BeautyMatter Awards judge
