The challenge

Creators spent years inventing and spreading Vaseline hacks without credit.

The idea

Following Vaseline Verified, the brand named creators Jen Chae and Lauren Luke 'Vaseline OGs' and built products from their hacks: a brow tamer and a primer-highlighter jelly. Both launched in a TikTok Live event.

Results

  • Both products sold out within minutes of the TikTok Live debut
