Company Profile
Hush & Dotti was an independent clean beauty brand renowned for its luxury, toxin-free makeup and skincare products. Launched in 2012 by makeup artist Dina Altieri (known as “Dotti”) and her partner Stefanie “Hush” Serafin, the Connecticut-based line offered vegan, cruelty-free cosmetics made with high-quality natural ingredients like organic plant oils and mineral pigments. Hush & Dotti’s collection ranged from foundations and lip glosses to cleansing balms – all formulated to be eco-friendly, paraben-free, and gentle on sensitive skin. The brand earned rave reviews in the green beauty community and press (even Allure noted its Dream Drops serum and balm cleanser as standouts), building a loyal following who loved that the products were both glamorous in performance and “clean” in ethos. (Hush & Dotti operated for 10 years before the founders closed the business in 2021 to pursue new ventures.)
