Irene Forte

Founder and CEO of Irene Forte Skincare

Irene Forte is the founder and CEO of Irene Forte Skincare, an Italian luxury skincare brand built on more than 40 years of biomedical research and rooted in the belief that skincare should promote long-term skin health. Developed under the guidance of Dr Francesca Ferri, a pioneer in the medical use of plant extracts whose work has been awarded an Italian knighthood, the collection features ingredients grown on the brand’s own organic farm in Sicily, alongside zero-waste, upcycled and proprietary actives backed by scientific evidence. All products are certified vegan and for sensitive skin, and the brand’s rigorous sustainability standards have earned it B Corp certification. Educated at Oxford University, Irene spent nearly a decade in spa and wellness at Rocco Forte Hotels before launching her own line.
