She became the co-owner of 100 Thieves and then went on to drop her line of merchandise, apart from appearing in music videos of artists like Corpse Husband and Bella Poarch.She has now ventured into the skincare field, as she launched her very own skincare brand, RFLCT, on October 19, 2021.rae☀️@ValkyraeAfter 2 years, it's here!I am a co-founder of @RFLCT_skin 🎉It's a skincare collection designed to protect skin from blue light pollution.I wanted to create something that would help not just myself, but everybody with a life in front of screens!rflct.com9:54 AM · Oct 19, 2021545323872After 2 years, it's here!I am a co-founder of @RFLCT_skin 🎉It's a skincare collection designed to protect skin from blue light pollution.I wanted to create something that would help not just myself, but everybody with a life in front of screens!rflct.com https://t.co/NdjEJzVVcTRFLCT claims that its line of products protects users' skin from the blue light emitted from computers and other device screens.

For starters, no scientific study says that blue light is extremely harmful to the human skin, which is s statement that RFLCT used to market its products. Studies suggest that the harm done by blue light is negligible.Haters bashed Valkyrae for releasing a line of skincare products where she essentially "created a problem" just to find a solution.KiwiOlive@KiwiOlive@zombii_do_tweet @Valkyrae @RFLCT_skin This a an actual scam, a "solution" to a problem that does not exist.12:34 PM · Oct 20, 2021336@zombii_do_tweet @Valkyrae @RFLCT_skin This a an actual scam, a "solution" to a problem that does not exist.Tommy@SonAnomander@Valkyrae @RFLCT_skin I do enjoy being a fan of Rae & everyone, but this is 100% taking advantage of an impressionable young audience to peddle pseudoscience.

Also, did you do studies proving the product actually protects from those damages if so? Not hating I just would like to see studies and I think if you're gonna have these claims they should be backed up.12:01 PM · Oct 20, 202197@Valkyrae @RFLCT_skin So are there any studies showing that blue light from screens damages skin?

This is just a straight up scam, and the worst part, I don't even think Rae knows this. I feel like I'd almost prefer it if she did.2:03 AM · Oct 20, 2021103@Valkyrae @RFLCT_skin Skin really doesn't need to be protected from "blue light".

People have branded Valkyrae a scammer for marketing her skincare brand to solve a problem that does not exist.Valkyrae herself has responded to the allegations, claiming that she has been asked not to say anything about the products until the next day. She posted this in a tweet on her secondary account, @itsraechill. However, she deleted the tweet soon after.The company's co-founder stated that she is confused, along with the Terms of Service on the official RFLCT website, saying that the brand is not responsible for the inaccurate information on the website does not give too much ground for people to trust RFLCT. However, it would be best to wait till Valkyrae releases an official statement addressing these allegations.
