Graziadaily – The Hollywood superstar tells us why being skin-shamed led to the launch of her beauty business. Plus, the products she can’t live without…

Scarlett Johansson knows good skin. That much is clear when she logs on to our Zoom call. Hers is glowing and, if she swapped her black blazer for a lab coat, she would fit LA’s ‘expensive dermatologist’ mould: slicked-back bun, gold-rimmed aviators and barely a hint of make-up. As movie-worthy as it may be, Johansson’s style could never be called contrived. As the co-founder of skincare brand The Outset, which she launched with Kate Foster Lengyel in 2022, there’s no need to act her part. ‘I’ve spent six years working on this project,’ she says. ‘It’s a labour of love.’

Johansson’s desire to be part of the skincare space stems not from a round table with a giant beauty conglomerate and a throng of agents – ‘I never wanted to license my name to a brand, this was something I had to do independently’ – but from a journey that spans her lengthy career.

‘My earliest skincare memory dates back to when I was filming The Horse Whisperer,’ the actor recalls. She was 13 when she starred in the 1998 hit, alongside Robert Redford and Kristin Scott Thomas. ‘I had just gotten my first real breakout and a make-up artist on set spotted it and said, “Whoa, you have Mount Vesuvius on your forehead!” I was so embarrassed, it was awful. I hated him in that moment and, actually, I still hate him.’

Johansson laughs but there’s a steeliness in her tone. The make-up artist handed Johansson a potent solution made with sulphur and zinc to zap breakouts and shrivel them into submission. ‘It paved the way for how I’d treat my skin in the coming years. I went through this cycle of drying it out with products, reeling from the irritation they caused, breaking out. It was a vicious circle.’

As roles in 2003’s Lost In Translation and Girl With A Pearl Earring brought her global levels of fame, tech developments in Hollywood were conspiring against her. ‘The industry switched to digital film,’ she says. ‘That was a terrifying move for actors who were self-conscious about their skin.’
