Local Innovator Stacey Chillemi Teams Up with Volition Beauty to Launch First Co-Created Neck & Chin Serum

When longtime Manalapan resident Stacey Chillemi looked in the mirror one morning, she noticed something all too familiar: a subtle band of horizontal lines and a loss of firmness along her jawline. As a 20-time bestselling author and holistic-wellness expert, Chillemi understood that our digital lifestyles—hours spent looking down at screens—often accelerate aging in the neck area, where skin is thinner and collagen levels drop more quickly.

Determined to solve her own “tech-neck” dilemma, Chillemi partnered with innovative clean-beauty company Volition Beauty to co-create the Dandelion Lift & Firm Neck Serum—a peptide-powered formula clinically shown to deliver 23% firmer skin in just four weeks. Now, she’s calling on neighbors across greater [County] to join the exclusive presale, where each bottle sold is a vote to bring this New Jersey-born serum into full production and onto shelves at major retailers like Costco, CVS, and Ulta.

Why the Neck Needs Special Attention

• Thinner Barrier: Neck skin is roughly 40% thinner than facial skin and lacks oil glands, making it prone to dehydration and crepiness.
• Collagen Loss: Research shows we lose up to 1% of skin collagen annually after age 40, with the neck’s collagen pool already lower than the face.
• Tech-Neck Impact: Daily screen posture deepens horizontal lines—so-called “tech-neck”—that standard moisturizers often can’t reach.

The Power of Peptides & Dandelion

Chillemi’s formula centers on a tri-peptide complex that signals fibroblasts to rebuild collagen and dandelion extract, a potent antioxidant shown to neutralize free radicals and brighten tone. A portion of the ingredients, including plant stem cells, support cellular renewal without harsh additives. The result: a clean, cruelty-free serum ideal for midlife and sensitive skin.

How the Presale Works

Volition Beauty’s community-driven model requires 5,000 preorders to green-light mass production. To thank early supporters, Chillemi has arranged:

• First 500 orders: 15% off, signed founder card, and priority shipping
• Orders 501–2,000: Free deluxe mini of Volition’s bestselling Getaway Glow
• Orders 2,001–5,000: Entry to win a one-year supply and a private Zoom consult with Chillemi

Residents can preview the formula, read in-depth Q&A, and cast their preorder at volitionbeauty.com/staceychillemi. Local participation not only helps Chillemi meet the presale goal but also demonstrates the buying power of this vibrant New Jersey community.

Local Reaction & Next Steps

“I love supporting our hometown innovators,” says neighbor and skincare enthusiast Maria Rossi of Red Bank. “Stacey’s holistic approach and Volition’s transparent process make me proud to pre-order.”

Chillemi plans to host an Instagram Live poll next week (theadvisor_sc)—giving voters a choice between a pump or dropper applicator—and will share development updates on her social channels. All are welcome to contribute, ask questions, and be part of this New Jersey success story.
