The High School Musical star, 40, has just hit a major milestone with her hair care and fragrance brand, Being Frenshe.
According to Women's Wear Daily, the brand has officially exceeded $250 million in sales and reached $100 million in point-of-sale annual sales at retailer Target.
The company was launched in 2022 by beauty brand incubator Maesa, who pitched Tisdale on the idea of creating a product line off the back of her popular wellness blog, Frenshe.
Tisdale had previously launched a makeup brand in 2016 called Illuminate Cosmetics, but the company folded in 2020 amid poor sales.
'It was very stressful. I just felt like it was probably the biggest failure in my career thus far,' she told WWD.

The star's success in the business world comes after the fallout from her public essay blasting her Hollywood mom group as 'toxic'

'It took me back to an unpleasant but familiar feeling I thought I'd left behind years ago,' she wrote.
'Here I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed thinking, "Maybe I'm not cool enough?" All of a sudden I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing wrong to be left out.'
She said she ultimately texted the group after being excluded at yet another gathering, telling the other moms that things had become 'too high school' for her.
'To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people (maybe one),' Tisdale added.
'But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive - for me anyway.'
While the actress has not publicly identified who she was referring to, fans noticed that the article arrived shortly after she unfollowed both Moore and Duff on Instagram.

Duff's husband later blasted Tisdale on social media, and calling her 'self obsessed' and 'tone deaf'.
Trainor also broke her silence on the situation in an interview with Us Weekly.
'I think it was just a lot of miscommunication and confusion,' said Trainor, who stressed that she was not involved in the group's drama.
'I don’t really know what happened, but I wish them all the best. I texted all of them. Ashley texted me, "I’m sorry, your name got dragged in".'

Reflecting on the firestorm that the viral essay sparked, Tisdale indicated to WWD that she had no regrets about speaking her truth.
'I think that in the audience it was for, the response I got was pretty amazing. It reached who it needed to reach,' she said.
