Work With Me | Chrysalis Skin Lab Creator Program

Five colored serums. Your skin picks one.

I am a cosmetic chemist in San Diego and I make five daytime serums, each a different color. I send creators all five, your skin picks the winner, and the full size of your winner is yours.

The deal

Step one

The Skin Lab Kit, free. All five serums, with the one I think your skin will pick named in your email. Yours to keep whatever you decide. There is no obligation to post, ever.

Step two

Film the lineup. Pink cactus bloom, cool jade, mushroom milk, warm satin, icy melt. Line up all five, say you are about to find out which one your skin picks, and ask your people to guess. That is a video you can make the hour it lands, before you have tried a thing.

Step three

Post the verdict and the bottle is yours. One video saying which one won and why, by the date in your email. The full size of your winner ships within two business days of your post.

Step four

Your people get the kit free. The first ten who use your code get the whole kit and only pay shipping. Ten is small enough to be a race, which is the part that makes your comments move.

And if it performs

$100 for ad use. The first five creators to post get $100 for the right to run the video as an ad for 30 days, paid within three business days. $200 more if I keep it running another 90. After the first five it goes to the posts that hit the checklist below.

What your audience gets

The first ten with your code get the kit free and pay only shipping.

Not a discount. The whole kit, all five serums, free. Ten per creator, first come, and it is the one thing I have found that gives a comment section a reason to move instead of just saying cute.

After the ten, your code is 10% off everything and still pays you 20%. One more kit on top of that is yours to hand to a commenter you pick yourself, and I mail it to her directly. No purchase necessary.

Why this is an easy post

Most skincare asks you to use something for six weeks and then say something nice about it. This one does not.

  • There is something to look at in the first second. Five different colors in a row. No before and after, no waiting, no good lighting required for a result that may not show up
  • It is a question, not a claim. Which one will my skin pick. Your people can guess, which is a reason to comment, and you have not promised them anything
  • It is two easy videos, not six weeks of homework. The lineup the day it lands, the verdict a week later. You know what both videos are before you start
  • Your people get something real. Free is free. You are not asking them to spend money on your word

Who you are working with

I am Portia. I studied cosmetic chemistry at the Institute of Personal Care Science and I formulate all five serums myself, in small batches, in San Diego. The company is The Chrysalis Emporium, LLC.

No agency, no middle layer. The email comes from me and the reply comes back to me.

Every order on the site has a 30 day refund with nothing to send back, which is the same promise your audience gets.

What customers say

★★★★★

Loved the ability to try all the CSL products. I liked the Hydralift formula enough to order the full size. It leaves my skin soft and moisturized without feeling heavy or greasy.

Lara

I am so thrilled with this kit! Everything made my face feel amazing and it is so fun to test out all of the formulas. I am loving the Plump & Hydrate with the Firm & Protective. The packaging is super cute too!

Christina
★★★★★

I love how you can try all the products before committing to the full size. My skin is super temperamental so I am always nervous buying a whole new product before trying it out. I am happy to say I will be purchasing all of the full size products.

The Basal Social

Which one is yours

What your skin is doing Your serum What it looks like
Feels tight after washing, thirsty by afternoon HydraLift, $47 Pink cactus bloom
Shiny by noon, breaks out ChagaControl, $32 Mushroom milk
Runs pink RednessRelief, $36 Cool jade gel
Marks that stayed after the breakout left PigmentProtect, $40 Warm satin gel
Lines that showed up this year CollagenGuard, $44 Icy melt cream

All five are morning serums. Wash, pat dry, a few drops all over, then moisturizer and SPF. They are light, fragrance free, and made to sit under makeup.

One heads up. The sachets in your kit use the friendly names and the bottles use the lab names, so Plump & Hydrate and HydraLift are the same thing. Say the bottle name on camera. That is the one your viewers can search.

Five things you can say that nobody else can

You are getting these from the person who made them. Pick the one that matches your skin and say it on camera. It is the part your viewers will not have heard before.

HydraLiftCeramide NP and Saccharide IsomerateIf your skin feels thirsty again by afternoon, it usually is not that you need something heavier. There is nothing holding the water in. Ceramide NP is one of the things skin uses to do that, and Saccharide Isomerate binds to the surface so it keeps going for hours instead of rinsing away.
ChagaControlAzelaic Acid and Zinc PCAShine by lunch is not always oily skin. Skin that is short on water can look shinier, because oil sits differently on it. This one works on how shiny and congested skin looks without stripping it.
RednessReliefAzeloyl Diglycinate and CentellaAzeloyl diglycinate is azelaic acid's gentler cousin. It is water soluble, which is why it sits comfortably on skin that flushes easily when the straight acid often does not.
PigmentProtectTranexamic Acid and Alpha-ArbutinTranexamic acid is not the brightener everyone has already heard of, and it works along a different path than the ones they have. It is the one I reach for when the marks are what is left behind after a breakout rather than sun.
CollagenGuardMatrixyl 3000 and Vitamin CMatrixyl 3000 is two peptides, and peptides are messengers, not scrubs. Nothing exfoliates and nothing stings, which is why this one goes on in the morning under makeup.

What makes a video ad ready

The first five posts get the $100 automatically. After that, this is what gets a video picked, so it is never my mood.

  • All five colors are in frame in the first three seconds
  • You say or show what your skin is doing early
  • Your face is close and well lit, with the product in your hand
  • You say the bottle name out loud once, because the sachet name and the bottle name are different and only one is findable
  • Vertical, and under 40 seconds
  • Your own voice or original audio, no trending sound, because ads cannot use it
  • You can send me the raw file

The only two rules

1. Mark it as an ad. Say it up front and use the platform's label. A hashtag buried at the end does not count.

2. Talk about how skin looks and feels. Looks calmer, less red, brighter, more even. Feels softer, plumper, less tight. Never what a serum treats, cures, heals, fixes or prevents, and never a promise with a timeline. I am a chemist, not a doctor, and that line matters for both of us.

Everything else is yours. Your hook, your format, your words. I do not write scripts and I never will.

The money, plainly

  • Your code gives the first ten people the kit free for shipping, then 10% off everything after that, and pays you 20% on full size serums and bundles with a 90 day window that covers repeat orders. Shopify pays it about 30 days after the order, twice a month, once your balance passes $25
  • Ad rights are $100 for 30 days and $200 to extend 90, paid within three business days of your yes
  • You own your video. I ask before I repost and I always credit you. No exclusivity, and no AI changes to your video or your likeness without your yes
  • Either of us can walk away any time. Anything you have earned still gets paid
