From Deau to The Tone Setter: A Passionate Journey

The founders of The Tone Setter are the creators of Deau, a skincare brand that blends Japanese craftsmanship with innovative solutions for diverse skin tones. After years of formulating products in cutting-edge labs in Japan and seeing the transformational power of J-beauty, our founders wanted to give back more than just products – they wanted to share knowledge. Our team’s passion for J-beauty goes beyond business; it’s personal. Having experienced firsthand how Japanese skincare philosophies can revolutionize one’s confidence and skin health, we created The Tone Setter to pass along that passion. Every article is infused with the expertise we gained building Deau and our heartfelt belief that beautiful skin is for everyone.
