MEET OUR INNOVATORS

I started the love for beauty at the age of thirteen. Watching my nana apply cosmetics as a young boy and seeing how it enhanced her natural beauty inspired me to want to know more. As the years went on, I dreamt of creating my own cosmetic line. At the age of eighteen, I landed my first cosmetic job at an Estee Lauder counter. From there I continued my cosmetic journey for twelve years in various positions. In 2021, I went to nursing school and earned my associate of science in nursing. From there I continued my education in 2023, earning my Bachelor of Science in nursing. Now, Aristotle Cosmetics is a brand where science meets beauty. I want every individual to feel and see a difference when wearing Aristotle Cosmetics. My motto is "Why be pretty when you can be gorgeous?"

Aristotle Cosmetics is about philosophy meets physics of color. Blending modern scientific principles to create unique and effective products. This innovative approach recognizes cosmetics not merely as superficial enhancements but as extensions of a deeper philosophical engagement with aesthetics and well-being, akin to Aristotle's holistic view of knowledge. Just as Aristotle emphasized the cultivation of the whole person, Aristotle Cosmetics endeavors to nurture both external beauty and internal harmony through formulations that respect the intricate relationship between human physiology and environmental factors.

My skincare journey began in my pre-teen/teenage years, when I struggled with acne. Those who have struggled with acne-prone skin know how difficult it is to maintain one's self-confidence. Having always struggled with having “perfect” skin and always trying the next “best” product, this gave me the opportunity to make a difference. I am a driven, trustworthy, and family-oriented person. My passion for entrepreneurship began during those same preteen/teenage years. 

I have a career in retail management and real estate. Both of these have a common denominator...customer service. Every customer doesn't just represent a sale; it represents an extension of our family. Aristotle Cosmetics brings not only an innovative approach to skincare, but it also brings people together. Now I embark on this journey with some brilliant minds as not only partners but also family and friends, and I meet some fantastic people along the way while helping reunite a community divided. My motto has always been “If you don’t bet on yourself, you are sure to lose because you are a proven winner.” 

I have a deep appreciation for beauty, skincare, and the power of creating meaningful connections. I’m passionate about building relationships, representing brands with intention, and contributing to experiences that leave a lasting impression. I believe confidence begins with genuine care, and I’m inspired by the opportunity to be part of a brand that reflects those values.

As the Director of Brand Experience and Partnerships at Aristotle Cosmetics, I have the privilege of helping strengthen the brand through collaboration, innovation, and meaningful partnerships. I’m proud to contribute to a team that values excellence, authenticity, and a shared vision for redefining beauty.

For me, beauty is more than appearance, it’s about confidence, connection, and purpose. I’m grateful to be part of a brand that is committed to making a lasting impact while inspiring others to feel their best.

My name is Slade Bone, and I’m an established print model within Atlanta, GA. I’ve always had a fascination with taking care of my skin and growing comfortable within myself beyond being in front of the lens. Growing up with sensitive and pale skin, it really taught me to seek out quality ingredients over mass production. Aristotle Cosmetics came to my attention after traveling with a friend who did a shoot with them. Not only did they align with my struggles, but they really took the time to cater to every individual’s needs. A universal brand that hears every story and provides the authentic solution.
