Brand overview
Vitruvian Man is a grooming brand based in the UK and Hong Kong, founded by Vivian Lau. Inspired by Roman architect Vitruvius’ philosophy, the brand and products embody three central themes: functionality, strength and elegance. They believe that building a healthy foundation for the skin should be at the heart of any skincare regime. Vitruvian’s unique formulations are vegan, cruelty free and dermatologically tested. Vivian graduated from Formula Botanica while building the Vitruvian Man brand.
Formula Botanica provided a good foundation for Vivian to understand and communicate better with her formulators and manufacturers. With the support system that Formula Botanica provides its students even after graduation, Vivian is still learning and keeping up to date with clean beauty and the industry. From beauty trends, the sustainability of ingredients and entrepreneurship skills to the sharing of advice within its supportive community, Formula Botanica has helped inspire Vivian and has been instrumental in propelling the growth of Vitruvian Man.
