Did You Have the Smarts to Launch a Company at 15?

There are some days when I feel like a hopeless under-achiever. Today is one of those days. 15-year-old Ava Anderson has launched her own skincare line. Uh huh, she's 15. 10 years younger than myself. Not that I'm going to let my envy overshadow how in awe I am of a teenager who was so disheartened to learn that some seemingly "natural" products in fact contained harmful ingredients that she set upon her quest to create Ava Anderson Non-Toxic. The range consists of six products, including cleanser, toner, moisturiser and a lip scrub, and all featured ingredients scored zero on the Cosmetics Database Toxicity Scale. Impressive. Sadly it's only available in the US for the time being, but keep it on your radar—this little lady has the business sense to turn it into an international company, I reckon.
