Meet Davlyn

Davlyn’s upbringing as the daughter of a renowned dermatologist informed her deep interest in skincare and wellness, leading her to create Namesake, the skincare brand for the busy millennial woman who shouldn’t have to worry about whether or not a product was made with melanin in mind.

As the face behind Namesake, Davlyn has grown a community on TikTok of 75,000 who come to her for skincare nuggets and insights. Check out @mymomsaderm on TikTok.
