The son of founder Bobbi Brown, Plofker said he will remain involved in the minimalist beauty label as a board member and advisor.

“I know the business will be better served by an experienced CEO who has a different skillset than mine and a renewed passion for the business,” he said.

Reflecting on his success the last five years, Plofker said he was proud of the brand’s accomplishments.

“I am incredibly proud of what we were able to accomplish in around five years and never thought in my wildest of dreams we would be here so quickly,” he said. “This has been an incredible ride and I have learned so much from it. We built a bootstrapped, nine figure profitable business from my hometown in New Jersey without any wholesale or Amazon.”
