Leslie Tessler is the founder of Hanni, a bodycare brand that specializes in innovative, easy-to-use, ultra-hydrating products. Her first job was in fashion at Ralph Lauren before she pivoted into beauty as a marketing manager for L’Oréal Paris. She went on to continue her work at the executive level in the space with Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. But after 10 years of working in such demanding roles, Tessler felt burned out. She booked a trip to Argentina to get away from it all, thinking she’d go back home in a few months, but she ended up falling in love with the culture and staying for a decade, during which she dreamed up the now-famous Hanni Weighted Razor and Shave Pillow. Leslie returned to the U.S. to officially launch Hanni in 2021, and her brand went on to become the first razor company to ever partner with Sephora in 2022. Today, it continues to expand the definition of bodycare with hit products that elevate everyday rituals.
