Allyse Cirillo is the Founder and CEO of SAINT Jō, a luxury skincare and wellness brand redefining how women approach beauty through a simplified, high-performance “skin + within” ritual. With over 15 years of experience in product development and global sourcing across fashion, beauty, and wellness, Allyse has led multi-million-dollar product lines and scaled brands from early-stage to nine-figure growth.
Her career spans leadership roles at companies such as Macy’s Merchandising Group and Trafilea Group, where she oversaw product innovation, manufacturing, and international supply chains. Through this experience, she developed a deep understanding of formulation integrity, consumer behavior, and the gap between marketed “clean” beauty and truly effective, non-toxic solutions.
Allyse founded SAINT Jō after recognizing the need for a more intentional approach to skincare, one that prioritizes barrier health, ingredient transparency, and long-term results without unnecessary fillers or complexity. Under her leadership, the brand has gained traction across the U.S. and U.K., with features in leading publications and a growing community of women seeking a more elevated, results-driven ritual.
She is passionate about building brands that empower confidence, simplify daily routines, and set a new standard for modern wellness.
