Rosie Johnston, the visionary founder of By Rosie Jane, has carved a unique path in the world of clean fragrance. Born and raised in Australia, Johnston grew up surrounded by a family of entrepreneurs, sparking her ambition to forge her own way. From an early age, she knew she wanted to create something of her own, and her passion for beauty led her to a career in makeup artistry.

Johnston's journey took her from Australia to London, England, where she honed her craft and built an impressive portfolio, including a photo shoot with pop icon Kylie Minogue. Eventually, chance brought her to Los Angeles, where she was captivated by the city's vibrant energy and fast-paced creative scene. It was here that her entrepreneurial spirit truly took flight.

In 2003, Johnston launched Rosie Jane Cosmetics, introducing a multipurpose lip-and-cheek pot that was innovative for its time. Though short-lived, the brand ignited her love for product creation. She then began experimenting with custom fragrances, crafting a signature scent she wore to photo shoots. The overwhelming response to the fragrance inspired her to produce it on a larger scale, and in 2010, By Rosie Jane was born.

Since its inception, By Rosie Jane has become a standout in the clean fragrance industry and is known for its approachable yet elevated scents. The brand has earned a devoted following and consistent recognition as one of Sephora's top-selling fragrance lines. In 2024, the company celebrated a major milestone—reaching $10 million in revenue—a true testament to Johnston's vision and dedication.
