Our Ethos
Rooted in Intention, Grown with Care
At Lena Rose, beauty is more than skin deep. Our ethos is the heart of everything we do—from the products we select to the conversations we share and the rituals we create. As a small, woman-owned business, we believe deeply in leading with purpose, presence, and people-first values. In an industry that often rewards perfection and fast trends, we choose to slow down, listen closely, and stay true to what matters most. Our ethos is grounded in four guiding values
Our Values
Community: Community is at the heart of Lena Rose, especially as a small business rooted in connection and care. We have deep appreciation for the local communities that continue to support us and allow us to grow and thrive. Being involved, showing up, and building genuine relationships within our community is not just important to us—it’s one of our highest values.
Conversation: We believe beauty begins with dialogue—not directions. At Lena Rose, we create space for real conversations about skin, health, sustainability, and self-worth. We don’t believe in pushing products or perfect routines. Instead, we listen first, educate honestly, and help you explore what works for you. Because beauty should feel like a conversation, not a command.
Compassion: We approach every interaction—with clients, the planet, and ourselves—with care. The beauty industry doesn’t always make space for softness, but we do. Whether we’re crafting a ritual for stressed-out skin or helping someone reconnect with their body, compassion is our compass. We extend this care to the planet, too—by choosing sustainable options, supporting small farms, and limiting waste wherever possible.
Connection: We are here to connect—with nature, community, and each other. Lena Rose is more than a spa or a beauty boutique. It’s a place to gather, to feel held, to reconnect. Our roots are in Chicago, but our values reach beyond. From local farms to like-minded brands, we seek partnerships that reflect our belief that beauty should nourish both self and community.
