Made in Minnesota, Reprise Skincare is becoming a trend in skin care, according to Kristi Shepherd, founder of the business.

Shepherd said she started the Reprise Skincare line in early 2016, and is now partnered with Girls in Action, Smude’s Oil, Rowley Creek lavender farm, and Sovereign estate winery.

According to junior Rachel Young, Shepherd reached out to her, Anika Hanson, Makagbe Kuyateh and Grace Lynch at the career fair last year, enlisting their assistance with her products.

“We are launching a new line called Libellu Skincare and we are developing the new logo what products were going to use,” Young said. “We are more of the like social media and research and marketing.”

According to Shepherd, this new line will be called “Libellu” and will be developing specifically for young women.

“[We are] adding a teen line to Reprise and developing products specifically for young women. We plan to launch the teen line this year before the holidays,” Shepherd said.

According to Young the program presents a unique hands on business experience.

“We were just interested in exploring entrepreneurship and seeing business more close up.”

According to Shepherd, Reprise Skincare’s foundation was built on the motto that all women deserve to feel beautiful.

“Reprise is the French word for ‘recapture.’ Our products help women recapture the skin they were born with,” Shepherd said. “To help other women and promote the idea that all women are beautiful.​”

According to Shepherd, Reprise Skincare has partnered with Girls in Action which helps young women in entrepreneurship. Shepherd said she hopes young women will be unafraid to pursue big entrepreneurial goals.

“Dream big, and start small. Learn from your mistakes. Don’t be afraid to adjust your plans once you’ve learned something, but give yourself enough time before making major changes. Remember that the process is as important as the end product. And always value relationships in everything you do,​” Shepherd said.
