What began as a young entrepreneur's passion for skincare grew into an award-winning small business that served customers throughout Northeast Ohio.
Founded in 2018 by Nicholas Lime, Lime Skincare Co. was a Cleveland-based skincare and personal care brand dedicated to creating high-quality, handcrafted products. What started as a small venture during middle school evolved into a recognized local business, offering a diverse collection of lotions, soaps, lip care products, and other personal care essentials.
Over eight years, Lime Skincare Co. expanded from its earliest local markets to a growing retail presence, with products carried in more than 20 retail locations throughout the Greater Cleveland area. The company participated in numerous community events, seasonal markets, and large-scale shopping experiences, including the Westside Flea and the I-X Christmas Connection.
Throughout its journey, Lime Skincare Co. received recognition for its entrepreneurship, innovation, and community impact. The business was featured on Cleveland's Fox 8 News on three occasions and earned three Stevie Awards at the American Business Awards, recognizing its achievements as a student-run business.
Beyond its products, Lime Skincare Co. represented a commitment to creativity, entrepreneurship, and continuous learning. From product formulation and development to branding, manufacturing, retail partnerships, and customer relationships, every stage of the company's growth helped establish a foundation for future endeavors in the cosmetics industry.
In April 2026, after eight years of operations, Lime Skincare Co. officially concluded its journey as its founder pursued higher education and new opportunities in cosmetic science and manufacturing.
Although Lime Skincare Co. is no longer operating, its legacy lives on through the customers, retailers, and community members who supported the brand throughout the years.

Thank you for being part of eight incredible years.
