Her brand “Rhode” represents a new chapter in Hailey’s career, marking her transition from model to entrepreneur. Launched in 2022 alongside co-founders Michael D. Ratner and Lauren Ratner, “Rhode” is a clean skincare brand focused on offering high-quality, effective products that cater to different skin types. The name “Rhode” was inspired by Hailey’s middle name, paying homage to her roots and the brand emphasises simplicity, transparency, and ethical practices, using minimal ingredients to create products that address the most common skin concerns.

Initially, Rhode offered three core products: the Peptide Glazing Fluid, Barrier Restore Cream, and Peptide Lip Treatment, each formulated to provide hydration and a dewy glow. Over time, Rhode expanded its product offerings to include facial cleansers, lotions, lip balms, blushes, and hybrid makeup products. The brand’s commitment to quality and simplicity resonated with consumers, leading to rapid growth. By the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, Rhode reported $212 million in sales, underscoring its success in the competitive beauty market.

In May 2025, Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty in a deal valued at $1 billion. The acquisition included $600 million in cash, $200 million in e.l.f. stock, and an additional $200 million contingent on Rhode’s future performance. As part of the deal, Hailey Bieber retained her role as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation, continuing to lead the brand’s creative direction and product development. Following the acquisition, Rhode began expanding its retail presence. In September 2025, the brand launched its products in Sephora stores across North America and the UK. This move marked Rhode’s transition from an online-only model to a broader retail distribution, aiming to reach a wider audience and enhance brand visibility.

Rhode has maintained a strong commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. All products are vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, catering to a growing consumer demand for ethical beauty products. The brand’s focus on clean ingredients and transparent sourcing reflects its dedication to environmental responsibility and consumer trust. Beyond its product offerings, Rhode has been actively involved in community engagement and empowerment initiatives. Through the Rhode Futures Foundation, the brand supports various causes, including women’s health and economic empowerment. These initiatives align with Hailey Bieber’s vision of using the brand as a platform for positive social impact.

Through Rhode, Hailey has expanded her career and used her platform to promote the importance of self-love and mental well-being. She has been open about her struggles with anxiety and has used her personal experiences to inspire others, encouraging her audience to embrace their natural beauty. As the brand grows, it is clear that Rhode is not just about skincare—it’s about creating a movement focused on transparency, empowerment, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
