From the beginning, Briony Kennedy had a ground-breaking vision: to create positive social change with certified, ethically-made cosmetics that don’t hurt the earth or animals. Driven by her passion for environmental sustainability, Briony founded Adorn Cosmetics in 2009 to revolutionise the beauty industry. Briony deliberately chose to be the face of Adorn because it’s so much more than a cosmetics brand: it’s a powerful collective movement that aligns with all her values. She lives with purpose in all areas of her life, not only as an entrepreneur and environmental activist, but as a mother of three boys and an advocate for mental health awareness. When she’s not working on Adorn or trying to improve the world, you’ll find Briony donning colourful activewear and sipping a Dirty Chai after a KX Pilates class (or an Espresso Martini after work hours). Above all, Briony advocates kindness—to ourselves, each other and the planet.
