"Even when I was traveling the world in my former career, I never missed a chance to indulge my wonder, curiosity, and passion for all things beauty," says Alfreda Scheuer, the founder of the newly launched YBeU Beauty, on the company's website.

Scheuer is a former CIA member who the New Yorker branded the "queen of torture" in a 2014 article, claiming that she "gleefully participated" in torture sessions.
