Content creator and founder Morgan Brown is ushering in a new standard with her health-focused skincare brand, June Skin. “Beauty without compromise” serves as the core philosophy behind her innovative product line launching now. For Brown, bettering your skin should never come at a cost of unsafe ingredients or unpleasant experiences.
The OG influencer spent the past three years in research and development before releasing her first product. This commitment to proving what actually works has been integral to her rise and longevity in beauty. Brown uses science-backed research and rigorous testing to build her brand, establishing herself as a true expert.
YouTube Channel ItsHeyMorgan Built Following of Over 500,000 Subscribers
Beauty enthusiasts active in the blogging space during the 2010s likely recognize Brown as ItsHeyMorgan from YouTube. Her personal experiments delivered with insatiable personality and earnest vulnerability resonated with hundreds of thousands. Whether challenging herself to drink a gallon of water daily or creating comedic skits, connecting fulfilled her.
Brown amassed a following of over 500,000 subscribers through authentic content showcasing girlhood’s perils and triumphs. Her willingness to share real experiences rather than perfection built trust with her audience consistently. This foundation of genuine connection would later inform how she approached building her own brand.
Father’s Death in June 2017 Transformed Morgan Brown’s Wellness Journey
Brown learned how health and wellness are essential to living a truly fulfilling life through her journey. The unexpected loss of her father in June 2017 fundamentally changed her perspective on self-care. “After he passed, I really dove deep into wellness and saw my beauty routine transition to more of a ‘health survival routine,'” she shares.
The transformation wasn’t about products but about ritual serving as a daily marker through grief. “It wasn’t so much about the products, but it was about the ritual being a marker in my day as I was going through grief,” Brown explains. Caring for herself and loved ones became vital as she navigated this profound loss and healing.
Daily Skincare Rituals Grounded Morgan Brown During Grieving Process
Small daily acts like skincare, movement, and nutrition became essential to grounding herself back into herself. These routines helped her reconnect with who she was and who her father raised her to be. Even without his physical presence, she found herself through these intentional moments of self-care each day.
“I watched my dad care for everybody around him and I saw the good that came from that,” she reflects. He taught her that integrity in character and work was the foundation of any successful business. As an entrepreneur himself, his lessons in love and labor instilled the commitment to service guiding everything.
Wharton School of Business Education Combined With Content Creation Experience
Brown had considered starting her own business for quite some time before June Skin’s launch. She leveraged her first-hand experience in content creation and online community building during her undergraduate degree. Attending the prestigious Wharton School of Business provided the formal education complementing her practical social media expertise.
However, it wasn’t until her healing journey that she realized her true passion and purpose. The idea for June Skin crystallized as she understood what she wanted to create and why. Her business education combined with lived experience created the perfect foundation for building something meaningful and impactful.
Beauty Without Compromise Philosophy Centers Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
“Beauty is a routine that makes you feel good, it’s not just how you look,” Brown emphasizes. “Our emotional health and mental health are deeply tied to our physical health,” she explains with conviction. At every level of her business, she focuses beyond aesthetic effects to internal transformation and wholeness.
At the forefront of June Skin is deep investment in the personhood of users overall. Mental and emotional well-being serve as the first step in any effective skincare routine she creates. Healthy, resilient skin shines from within because of how it makes you feel, not just appearance.
Brand Name June Honors Month That Changed Morgan Brown’s Entire Life
The name June came to Brown as she realized that month completely changed her entire life. The process of building her brand has been a love letter to the man who made her who she is. Her father made her the woman, community builder, and business owner she is today through his example.
June Skin is a health-first beauty brand where safety doesn’t come at the expense of performance. The brand embodies the values her father instilled while creating products meeting her exacting standards. Every aspect of the business honors his memory and the lessons he taught about integrity and service.
The Essential Cream Addresses Sensitive Skin With Clean High-Performing Formula
Having struggled with sensitive, reactive skin for years, Brown couldn’t find products meeting her standards. “I was like wow, we all need some type of support for our skin that isn’t going to cause any further reactions, but could truly nourish it and help sustain it and strengthen it,” she explains. Existing products either used clean ingredients that didn’t perform or high-performing formulas with questionable ingredients.
Her debut product, The Essential Cream, is a twice-daily moisturizer designed to protect against exposure-driven stressors. She partnered with researchers and scientists for three years to develop the formula with skin-compatible ingredients. The components work synergistically both with each other and the body’s internal systems for maximum effectiveness.
Three Years Research and Development Created Barrier Repair Moisturizer
The lightweight, deeply hydrating and nourishing cream contains antioxidants, squalene, and ceramides for barrier support. Additionally, it features a unique blend of anti-inflammatory, microbiome-supporting probiotics to restore and fortify skin. “This barrier repair cream is for my sensitive skin girls who can’t necessarily use all of these high-performing, but often irritating, actives in their routines,” Brown explains.
The formula strengthens the skin’s barrier over time while providing immediate hydration and comfort. Brown’s commitment to three years of development ensures every ingredient serves a specific purpose scientifically. The cream represents her refusal to compromise between clean ingredients and transformative results that actually work.
Product Testing Shows Transformative Results for Dry Sensitive Skin
One writer tested June Skin first for two weeks and subsequently for an additional six weeks. “It is one of the most transformative skincare products I have ever tried, and not just superficially,” she reports. Within the first use, her dry, sensitive skin felt balanced and nourished in unprecedented ways.
The cream gave her skin a blurred effect as if she’d applied a filter to her face. With continued use, her skin’s resilience only grew and irritation all but disappeared completely. The transformation alleviated underlying stress she was unaware was so heavily influencing her daily skincare routine.
Long-Term Use Builds Skin Confidence and Freedom From Irritation
The tester noted newfound confidence and assurance in her skin’s health and strength that felt freeing. “Whereas before I was hesitant to try new products, knowing they would likely result in some form of irritation, with The Essential Cream, I had a confidence,” she shares. This freedom to experiment without fear represents a fundamental shift in her relationship with skincare entirely.
After discontinuing use and returning to her previous routine, she remained anxious to use the cream again. However, she still benefited from its long-term strengthening and repairing effects weeks later. “If my skin could transform so drastically in 6 weeks, I am excited to experience what long-term use would reveal,” she concluded.
Morgan Brown Combines Creator Vision With Community Building Mission
There are creators and then there are true community builders and visionaries—Brown is the rare combination. Her first product indicates she’s created a brand rivaling many tried and true industry leaders. If The Essential Cream represents June Skin’s standards, consumers can expect continued innovation and excellence ahead.
Where she stands out extends beyond innovative formulations and their transformative results to her mission entirely. She cares for the heart of her customers as much as their skin with every decision. June Skin is a tribute to her humble beginnings building her online community and, more importantly, her father’s legacy.
