THE ORIGIN
THE ORIGIN Melinda and Delfondo met at the age of 19. They soon realized that in their early teens they lived in the Roseland neighborhood on 103rd street at the same time. Even though they were less than a mile apart and had never met this was considered a divine connection years later. So while thinking of a name for the company, Melinda and Delfondo wanted it to be sentimental and in 2015, 103 Collection was launched.
THE IGNITION
Melinda and Delfondo had the desire to manage their sensitive skin issues. They began by researching ingredients that were safe for sensitive skin and started testing products on themselves. Soon after they were able to share the success of their plant based products with family and friends, they decided to begin 103 Collection.
