Launched in June 2023 in partnership with pharmaceutical lab Cantabria Labs, Sofia Vergara's Toty initially focused on sun care-infused cosmetics like its popular Illumina CC Creamy Compact SPF50+. The brand later expanded into corrective treatments with an AHA serum and SPF body care.
The latest step involves partnering with Thirteen Lune, a retailer founded by Nyakio Grieco with a mission to elevate Black and Brown-founded beauty brands. Vergara stated, "They believe that inclusivity starts with the ownership and amplifying founders that represent the communities... ensuring shelves reflecting the diversity of the beauty consumers."
Alongside the retail launch comes the **Reversa Retinol Photoage-Defying Serum**. Priced at $89, this serum contains 0.5% sustained-release retinol aimed at reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and improving skin tone brightness, described by Vergara as "super-mild" yet delivering "pro grade results".
Nyakio Grieco expressed confidence in the brand's potential at Thirteen Lune, noting that "sun care and multi-tasking products are strong sellers," and highlighting the appeal of Toty's inclusive shade ranges and hyperpigmentation-addressing serums.
Vergara also reflected on the progress in shade diversity within the beauty industry since she moved to the US, noting how difficult it once was to find suitable shades for women of color, including Latina women.
