Game Changers: Agatha Relota Luczo
In the world of clean beauty, few figures are as pioneering as Agatha Relota Luczo. As the founder and CEO of Furtuna Skin, Luczo—a former runway model—has carved a unique path by blending her entrepreneurial acumen with a passion for sustainability, luxury, and transformative skincare. Her journey is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the power of nature to inspire.
Luczo’s entrepreneurial journey began when she stepped onto the international modeling stage at just 16 years old. “Through modeling, I developed key entrepreneurial skills: personal branding, networking with photographers and designers to secure opportunities, and mastering collaboration on set to build lasting professional relationships,” she shares. These foundational skills became the building blocks for her future ventures.
A turning point in her career came after experiencing three separate lung collapses. These life-altering events not only threatened her modeling career but also taught her resilience—a quality she would later channel into launching Furtuna Skin. The brand, which debuted mere months before the pandemic, faced extraordinary challenges. Yet, under Luczo’s leadership, Furtuna Skin thrived by innovating rapidly and staying true to its mission.
With its made-in-Italy origins, Furtuna Skin harnesses the power of proprietary olive oil and wild botanicals, while championing biodiversity and uplifting Sicilian communities.
Inspiration for Luczo comes from nature’s resilience and transformative abilities. “Our estate in Sicily, with its biodiverse landscape and centuries-old plants, is a constant source of awe and creativity,” she says. Home to 500 plant varieties, 50 medicinal herbs, and 12,000 olive trees, the land serves as both a sanctuary and a laboratory.
“Our distinguished farm botanist and chief scientific ocer always says, ‘Look to the land, and it will give you answers.’ Stepping onto the soil there feels like entering another world,” Luczo shares. This connection to the earth fuels her passion for creating innovative skincare solutions. From developing a micellar water that combines cleansing and antioxidant properties to perfecting the Triple Active Exfoliator, every product reflects thoughtful innovation and a deep respect for nature.
Equally inspiring are the heartfelt stories from customers. “Hearing how our products have transformed their skin and boosted their confidence reminds us of our purpose and motivates us to keep innovating,” she says. Turning ideas into action is an art form Luczo has mastered. “Execution is about turning passion into action, taking calculated risks, and staying committed to delivering something exceptional,” she says. Every product undergoes rigorous research and testing to ensure it meets the highest standards of efficacy and sustainability.
One standout example is the Triple Active Exfoliator, which combines three plant-based exfoliating methods into one product. “It took countless iterations and feedback loops to perfect the formula,” Luczo recalls. The result? An award-winning product celebrated for its innovative approach and gentle yet effective results.
As Furtuna Skin continues to grow, Luczo is venturing into the spa space. “At the heart of our brand is the belief in transforming daily rituals into restorative moments. Immersive spa experiences are the perfect way to bring that vision to life,” Luczo explains. Partnering with prestigious spas worldwide, the brand aims to showcase the potency of Sicilian ingredients through signature treatments.
“This initiative marks an exciting new chapter,” Luczo says. With a steadfast commitment to innovation, sustainability, and luxury, she is poised to continue reshaping the beauty industry—one transformative product and experience at a time.
