Why did you start DECIEM?

Why is DECIEM labelled ‘the abnormal beauty company’?
Because we are doing very normal things as humans but in the corporate world, and especially in beauty, what we do seems to be against the norm. Business is made up of people and people are humans. When you take humanity out of a business – which is the norm in the world – no matter how much success, there is much less fun, much less authenticity and ultimately much intangible value.
