Why Joining the GenM Collective Matters to Us

Author: Curated Beauty Founders

At Curated Beauty London, we’ve always been clear about who we’re here for.

 

Launched by Natalie, Ros & Sam - three women in our midlife - building products and routines we genuinely needed ourselves. Skin changing. Hair behaving differently. Energy fluctuating. Confidence evolving. Menopause wasn’t something we planned to “address”, it was already part of the conversation from day one.

That’s why joining the GenM Collective feels like such a meaningful moment for us.

Menopause still isn’t easy to navigate, especially when it comes to shopping. Many women want products that acknowledge this stage of life, yet so often they’re hard to find, poorly signposted or wrapped in confusing language. We believe women deserve better than that.

 

The GenM Collective brings together brands and retailers who want to change how menopause is represented and supported, creating clearer pathways, better education and more confidence for women navigating midlife. Being part of that movement reflects how we already think about beauty and wellness, as something personal, practical and rooted in real life.

 

At Curated Beauty, we focus on intentional, expert-led products that support skin, hair and wellbeing through hormonal change, stress and ageing. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We believe in clarity, transparency and supporting women with information as much as formulation.

 

Joining the GenM Collective is just one step, but it’s an important one. As we continue to grow, menopause awareness and longevity-led thinking will remain central to how we develop products, share education and show up for our community.

 

Because midlife isn’t something to hide from. It’s something to be supported through, confidently.

WELLNESS

INNER POWER started with a conversation between us - three women in our 50s, immersed in the world of beauty, wellness and nutrition, all noticing the same thing.

We didn’t feel unwell. We didn’t feel burnt out. But we did feel different.  Energy dipped more easily. Recovery took longer. Strength felt harder to maintain and whilst we all exercise, we were noticing a lack of muscle tone and strength, too.

We kept seeing creatine discussed in the context of male athletes and gym performance. But when Natalie shared how long she’d quietly been using creatine as part of her own routine and Ros began researching it beyond sport - something clicked.

FOUNDERS

At Curated Beauty, we didn’t launch on a whim or with a ready-made cheque from investors. We came to this with decades of experience, hard work, lessons learned across beauty and retail, and our own money on the line.  We started the way many women do, with determination, experience, and our own savings.

As three female founders over fifty, we’ve seen what works, what fails, and what truly matters in beauty. We know the difference between a passing fad and a product that delivers real results. We also know how easy it is to get distracted by quick wins instead of focusing on what lasts. That’s why we chose independence. By funding ourselves, we kept control, took our time, and created products we genuinely believe in.
