Chris Kolodzieski's journey from NFL draft pick to successful beauty entrepreneur is one of resilience and transformation. After a career-ending injury cut his professional football career short, Chris channeled his energy into entrepreneurship. In 2003, he launched Chella, a beauty brand focused on skincare. However, it wasn’t until 2016 that Chella truly found its purpose when Chris transformed the brand into a vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainable beauty company.
Chris’s decision to embrace veganism was driven by a personal health scare in 2017, but it quickly evolved into a compassionate mission to protect animals and the environment. Today, Chella stands as a leader in the conscious beauty industry, offering products that are both ethical and effective. The brand’s focus on sustainability extends beyond ingredients—Chella is also committed to being plastic-neutral and carbon-neutral.
Chella's success lies in its dedication to a niche market: brows and eyes. By honing in on this specialty, Chella has built a loyal following and is now a fan favorite on all of the social media platforms.
