Cinder Trout is the co-founder and formulator behind ABATURE, a clean beauty brand dedicated exclusively to lips. With a background in architecture and an instinct for innovation, she approaches formulation like design—meticulous, intentional, and never ordinary. A trained designer and accomplished entrepreneur, Cinder brings scientific precision to cosmetic formulation—melding her deep research in botanical chemistry with unapologetic creativity. She’s developed brands in fashion, home goods, and now beauty—each rooted in sustainability, craftsmanship, and intentional luxury. Raised on a Colorado cattle ranch and educated in design in Italy, her work reflects both grit and elegance. In the beauty world, she’s become something of a frontwoman—the lead singer of lip care—amplifying overlooked rituals with bold ideas, rich ingredients, and the kind of luxury that doesn’t come in plastic. Her writing, like her products, is thoughtful, fun, and grounded in a deep respect for what we put on—and into—our bodies.
