| Profession: |
Health / Beauty |
| Age: |

The heritage of dermo-cosmetic brand Eau Thermale Avène dates back over 260 years to the discovery of the curative properties in thermal water. Originating as rain, the water filters through the Cévennes Mountains absorbing precious minerals and trace elements for 40 years until it reaches the mouth of the ancient Sainte-Odile spring. The modern age of Avène began in 1975 when Pierre Fabre, the now second-largest, independent pharmaceutical company in France, acquired the spring and its surrounding land. Since then, over 300 stringent biological, pharmacological and clinical studies on the thermal water have been conducted by Pierre Fabre and independent researchers to substantiate the skin healing and soothing benefits. Low in mineral content, rich in softening silicate and bacteriologically pure, it is ideal for the treatment of skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. The Avène Dermatological Hydrotherapy Center, based on these properties and the legacy of the first thermal establishment built there in 1743, welcomes up to 4,000 patients a year to its state-of-the-art medical facility to treat skin conditions in adults and children. Launched in 1990 the Eau Thermale Avène skincare brand was created to capture these same healing benefits to soothe sensitive skins worldwide. Avène is widely recognized as #1 in European pharmacies among dermo-cosmetic skincare brands and also the most recommended by European dermatologists.

| Network: |
Astara Representatives |
| Profession: |
Astara Skin Care Director of Sales and Education |
| Current Town: |
Phoenix, AZ and Telluride, CO |
Colleen Dunn Saftler (Smith) has devoted herself to self-improvement, empowerment and enlightenment in both her career and personal life. Born and raised in Southern California, she is a self-proclaimed “seeker” of knowledge and truth. However, her first love has always been to entertain. Under constant tutelage since the age of 12 in all manner of communication and theatre, this unique education prepared her not only as an accomplished stage actress, but through all her roles in life. Drawing upon these years of acting and performance history enables her to present any subject in a lively, entertaining manner.
Focused studies in Cosmetic Chemistry and Aromatherapy brings it all full circle with Ms. Saftler’s latest endeavor as the Director of Sales and Education for Astara Skin Care.
Her various career incarnations include image specialist, retail sales, marketing assistant, and office manager. However, it wasn’t until she began her career in the SPA industry in early 1995 that her love for a deeper understanding became more fully realized.
Her desire has always been to communicate with those around her in meaningful way. Founded in 1998, Women of Substance came into being as a network of support for women of all walks of life and lifestyles. Colleen’s wish was to create a forum to affirm and respect our individuality and celebrate our inherent feminine nature. It became a means to reach out to her many female friends to support and uplift each through her monthly newsletter and group meeting forum. “Communication and connection, it’s what I do.”
As a connoisseur of metaphysics (astrology, numerology, tarot and Native American teachings) and alternative healing modalities (massage and touch therapy, color therapy, aromatherapy, balneotherapy, pelotherapy), Spa has also allowed Colleen to delve deeper into her other special interests of Feng Shui, Positive Psychology, self-improvement and personal empowerment.
She has had the privilege of working as an International Educator, Director of Training and Education, and Regional Sales Director and has experienced spas all over the world. As a special guest of international radio host Jesse Dylan’s The Good Life Network and as Co-Host of Carol Blonder’s Networking Arizona on KFNX 1100, Ms. Saftler had the privilege to speak to thousands of listeners about a healthy spa lifestyle and personal empowerment.
Through her seminars and classes, she has helped hundreds of industry professionals grow in their careers and understanding…inherently able to distill the most complex issues or ideas down to their very essence, Colleen’s ability to see the connectedness of all things gives her a take on life unlike any other individual. “She presents [it] in such a simple, easy-to-understand language, and you can tell she has fun doing it. We all go along for the ride!”

Hi, my name is Yoshiko. I am one of the 4 founders of JUARA Skincare. I created JUARA with my 3 business partners Metta Murdaya, Jill Sung and Tami Chuang in the Spring of 2005 in New York City. My curiosity for skin health began in my childhood with the discovery of my chemist father’s dictionary of dermatology and my Japanese mother’s passion for good skincare. Coming from a multi-cultural background myself, I am fascinated by how people in different countries take care of their skin. Wherever I travel, I spend hours in department stores and drugstores studying products and speaking to sales associates and estheticians. I was yearning to find a brand that speaks to my Asian heritage, when Metta, a native of Indonesian with whom I had been classmates at New York University, approached me about creating a skincare line based on Indonesian botanicals. The Indonesian botanical tradition and beauty rituals have opened my eyes to an approach to skincare that I find is both timeless and cutting edge. As a result, JUARA was born. With JUARA, we combine this ancient tradition with modern science to help restore and enhance the skin’s natural balance while conveying the calming experience of an ancient beauty ritual.

I've always wanted to help people and after a bout with a serious skin problem during my first year of medical school, I was drawn to specialize in Dermatology. My skin problem was so uncomfortable both physically and psychologically. After a visit to a trained dermatologist, I was surprised at how quickly you could help someone with such a debilitating problem. What I love about dermatology is that in a single day I can see all ages and genders, from infants to ninety year olds. It is very rewarding. I've always been a people person and being in dermatology allows me to communicate with individuals on a medical and personal level.
After treating skin for over forty years, the major mistakes I see people making on a daily basis are abusing their skin as a result of smoking, tanning, letting their skin problems go on for too long untreated, and not following an appropriate skin care regimen. I was very frustrated by the products available on the market, when I began seeking out alternative approaches to combating skin problems, so I decided to create my own line for my patients.
As I started searching and traveling all over the world to find the secret ingredient that would be consistent throughout my product line I started to notice that my mother-in-law, who lived into her nineties, who smoked, ate poorly, and treated her skin inappropriately, had no real signs of aging. I asked her aide what she was doing and the only thing unusual was that her aide, who happened to be South African, had been giving her large quantities of red tea to drink.
As it happens, red tea, also known as Rooibos, is one of the most potent of all antioxidants because it contains high levels of SOD (super oxide dismutase.) SOD breaks down free radicals in the skin that are created by sun exposure, daily pollutants, and smoking. After many years of working with the recipe I arrived at the formula. I was making everything in my office lab, following simple trial and error. Now I am happy and proud to bring to my patients and the world Goldfaden Skincare, a preventative and restorative all natural line dedicated to the incredible ingredient Organic Red Tea.
I hope you enjoy our products as much as my family enjoys making them!

Everyone wants attractive, healthy, radiant skin. However, conflicting information, advertising hype and confusing jargon make it frustrating to choose the right products for your individual needs. I know from personal experience, enduring skin sensitivity from the age of 14, that finding effective, pure skin care products is no easy task. I founded Osmotics Cosmeceuticals in 1993 to bring an unparalleled level of science and real results to the anti-aging skincare arena. I was the first to develop a scientific advisory board (similar to those of pharmaceutical companies) and to work with university medical/research centers around the world to identify clinically proven technologies and compounds. This unique product development strategy allows us to bring you the most innovative, effective and award-wining cosmeceuticals based on science, independent clinical data and results, not hype. I very much look forward to getting to know you all, answering your questions and helping you achieve healthier, younger looking, more beautiful skin.

Hello! I'm Alison Raffaele, Founder and Creator of Alison Raffaele Cosmetics. After a 20 year search to find a concealer that actually covered my dark circles - and becoming a professional makeup artist in NYC along the way - I decided to take matters into my own hands and created what I considered the first "True Concealer" - a concealer that both covers AND blends into the surrounding skin AND comes in 7 skintones for a perfect match! And unlike other high coverage concealers, True Concealer is easy to use, never looks or feels heavy and doesn't clog the pores - so it is safe to use on blemishes, too.
In 2008, to meet the growing demand for safer, more natural cosmetics, I chose to "evolve" my formulas so that they are now 100% free of parabens, talc, synthetic fragrance, mineral oil and gluten. Then I added the best, cutting-edge natural skincare technologies - such as peptides and antioxidants - so that the makeup actually imporves your skin with every application. And I am happy to say that now that we have finally found a suitable replacement for beeswax in our True Concealer, all ARC products are now also 100% vegan, too!
So if you have any questions about "natural" cosmetics/ingredients and/or perfecting your complexion, please post them here for me.
Look forward to hearing from you! :-)

I am the Founder and President of Billy Jealousy. I founded the company in 2004 with my partner Dani Rouso in Dallas. I started using premium skincare by accident: I was looking for a shave cream to alleviate my shaving irritation. Once I tried a prestige shave cream, I never looked back. I noticed not only was I getting a more comfortable shave, but my skin looked better and healthier. This all lead me to create Billy Jealousy, an award-winning Cosmeceutical skincare line for today's sophisticated bad boy and girl. We base our formulas not on marketing practices but on scientific research, and use only the finest raw materials in all of our products. And where did the name Billy Jealousy come from? It's all due to the genius of our brand guru Peter Benanti. When I first heard the name from him, I loved how cool, hip and memorable it sounded. Plus it's the sort of name that can be branded on just about any sort of product. I hope you love using our line.

You may not realize it, but you’re involved, perhaps deeply, with Joe (Joseph A. Lewis II), even though you may have never met him! Just have a look in your bathroom vanity cabinet or handbag; If it contains a product with alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA),Idebenone, or CoffeeBerry, you’re likely relying on Lewis to put your best face forward.
Lewis sourced and introduced these ingredients for some of the skin care industries’ most innovative breakthrough anti-aging products—m.d formulations®, MD Forte®, Prevage®, and many more. That’s why in the beauty industry, he’s not just a chemist, he’s a pioneer of cosmeceuticals. Lewis is a classic overachieving entrepreneur with more than 30 years’ experience as a skin-care and pharmaceutical product formulator. That he’s the beauty industries’ best kept secret, and not a brand name like many dermatologists, has less to do with modesty than with his quest for new anti-aging solutions: finding new anti-aging skincare ingredients, often from academic labs completely unrelated to the cosmetic industry, and bringing them into skin-care’s big time.
Lewis has made a business out of backing big brand anti-aging skincare products and now he is applying some of that same science to his own exclusive professional skincare brand—PRIORI® - The Anti-Aging Authority
The business model of Lewis and his business partner, Joseph C. DiNardo, also a master product formulator and toxicologist, might be unusual, but it’s impressively successful. The two (known to some as “the Joe’s") invest years of scientific research, coupled with large amounts of R&D dollars, to bring new anti-aging technologies to the marketplace. These top anti-aging technologies, both pharmaceutically and medically endorsed, have been presented at the largest dermatology meetings in the world and in world renown peer reviewed medical journals.
PRIORI® is the industry technology leader; developed by scientists (not doctors), considered as The Anti-Aging Authorities, the same scientists that brought you AHA in 1983, Idebenone in 2004 and CoffeeBerry® in 2008.
PRIORI® delivers the most advanced science and therefore the best anti-aging results based on proprietary patented technologies that are simply not available through any other professional skincare brand.
PRIORI® comes from the Latin phrase “a priori ” meaning from cause to effect. The name superbly describes our theory on the proper treatment of skin aging – from its source thereby delivering the best effect. In addition PRIORI® should be your PRIORITY when it comes to skincare therapy.

Freeport, NY, USA |
I am Linda Eisner, founder and head pencil pusher of “pencil me in” cosmetics. It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you “pencil me in” – a unique line of eye accent pencils. Our healthy eyeliner pencils contain vitamins, anti-oxidants and a sharpener is built into every cap. “pencil me in” cosmetics provides a high quality pencil at a reasonable price.
For over 20 years, I have been working in various arenas in the cosmetics industry designing private label lines to meet other cosmetic professionals’ specifications. While maintaining my private label company, Quality Pencils Inc., I decided to create my own brand. For me, the perfect pencil was not yet available. I wanted to develop healthy eyeliner pencils in lots of great colors. There was a need for a natural “green” cosmetic pencil so I asked my factory to create a formula that would meet my requirements. Clinical data has revealed that vitamins and anti-oxidants added to cosmetic products used in the eye area help to keep that delicate tissue soft and smooth. The pencils are made with natural ingredients and blended botanicals like Green Tea Leaf Extract, Pine Bark Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Shea Butter, Cacao Butter, Jojoba Oil, Wheat germ oil, and Safflower seed oil. It also includes Vitamins A (Retinyl Palmitate), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin D, E (Tocopherol). that specifically protect the eye area from daily exposure to destructive elements in our environment. The pencils are allergy and clinically tested to be non-irritating, eco-friendly, tamperproof and hygienic. The pencils are also paraben and petroleum free.
It took months to create the right shades, insure that they provided long lasting consistent color and applied silky smooth. All the colors chosen are not the ordinary eyeliner shades currently in the marketplace. Our shades range from vivid purple to frosted shades of blue and green to metallic bronze to subtle glitter. There are sensational choices for people of all races, genders and skin tones. Application is silky smooth without pulling the delicate skin around your eyes. Every eye accent pencil can be applied above and below your eye to bring dramatic effects & to enhance both day and evening looks. Layer and/or smudge the shades for a sexy finish. The pencil core is creamy but firm so the points don’t break easily. The color doesn’t fade throughout the day, lasting for hours. The eyeliners are highly concentrated with pigment so pressing hard and repeating the line is not necessary. Twelve year olds to grandmas alike are wearing and loving the pencils. For convenience, the cap of the pencil is actually a sharpener. There is no need to hunt for pencil sharpeners anymore. Our 4 color sets were specially designed based on hair color and desired look. Think outside the box and try our selections.

As a board-certified anesthesiologist, I manage patients’ pain on a daily basis. So as few years ago, when a friend suggested that I get a Brazilian bikini wax, I was shocked that it was so unnecessarily painful! I knew there was a better way to numb the skin before the procedure. Thus, I set forth applying my knowledge of numbing a child’s skin prior to placing an IV and translated that same process into a bikini panty pre-kit.

Philip B.
Hollywood's preeminent hair-treatment expert.
| Network: |
Philip Scott Inc. Representatives |
| Profession: |
VP Business Development for Philip B. Botanical Prodcuts International |
| Sex: |
Female |
| Current Town: |
Los Angeles CA |
As Hollywood's preeminent hair-treatment expert, Philip B. has garnered international praise for his visionary approach to hair, scalp and body-care treatments. His award-winning blends, all based on pure botanicals and essential oils at potent, unheard-of-in-the-industry concentrations, have dramatically changed the way the world perceives luxury care for hair and skin. American Vogue said Philip’s Four Step Hair & Scalp Treatment “gives you the hair of a heroine in a romance novel – the hair you always dreamed of”; Forbes Magazine declared it one of “the Top 100 things that are worth every penny.”
Philip was propelled into the treatment business as a fledgling stylist in Boston and later, Los Angeles. Concerned about clients who came to him with fried, over-processed hair that wouldn't respond to regular conditioning treatments, he began whipping up his own natural remedies at home. Within a few years, he was working as a stylist and colorist to some of Hollywood's most prominent actors and industry players. As his career took him on photo shoots and film sets around the globe, he began a quest for his Holy Grail: the finest hair-care treatments in the world.
What he found along the way shocked him: Most shampoos -- even in luxury lines -- were predictable formulations of detergent, water, and fragrance. Conditioners too waxy and heavy! Conspicuously missing were the quality ingredients; i.e., proven botanicals at active levels high enough to ensure performance and results.
Philip decided to spark a change in an industry with infinite room for improvement. Back in L.A., he huddled with laboratory chemists, gathered an arsenal of natural ingredients (meticulously sourced from all over the world) and began formulating his own concoctions. His friends, family, and clients volunteered as guinea pigs: Upon arrival at his house/lab, they were often handed an unmarked bottle from the kitchen and pointed to the shower.
Philip took on the most challenging hurdle of all first: to develop a hair-conditioning oil gossamer-light enough to enter the hair shaft, without leaving it sticky, heavy, or limp. The result – Philip B® Rejuvenating Oil – became an instant word-of-mouth phenomenon. Stars called Philip in the middle of the night for damaged-hair emergencies; his treatments were booked weeks in advance; and -- once beauty editors caught on in 1991 -- the product sold out across the country.
Philip gave up sleeping. Meanwhile, his fledgling collection launched internationally to equal acclaim: Philip's in-store appearances drew women by the hundreds, and royal families from around the world called for private appointments.
Today, Rejuvenating Oil remains the flagship treatment in the Philip B® Botanical Products portfolio of luxury hair, scalp and body-care products. Other best-sellers include his cooling and invigorating Peppermint & Avocado Volumizing & Clarifying Shampoo (part of his core, Four Step Hair & Scalp Treatment); his warming, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, black tea and ginger-infused Chai Latte Soul & Body Wash; and pH Restorative Detangling Toning Mist, which works like a skin toner to give hair a perfect finish, for maximum body and shine. A high concentration of botanicals infuses Philip B. products with natural fragrance; all are available paraben-free. The line is now sold in thousands of upscale department stores, boutiques, salons and spas around the world. Products are also available at philipb.com – a great site for hair care tips, as well.
Celebrated as a pioneer in the hair care industry, Philip remains at the forefront of hair and scalp science. Each of his products is designed to evoke a feeling – warming, cooling or refreshing – while giving skin a radiant glow or making hair glossy and manageable, the natural way.
Fully involved in every aspect of his business, Philip continues to formulate all products, traveling extensively to track down new ingredients and stay in touch with the needs of his customers and fans. His company is marked by a personal touch that is often lost in modern beauty corporations. For those fortunate enough to receive his best-of-the-best treatments in person, Philip B. is a revelation: a professional with worlds of knowledge to impart and a larger-than-life character with an extravagant sense of fun.

After nearly a decade in the liquor industry, Jeff’s doctor gave him the ultimatum- “shape up or dies young”. The young executive hired Josie, a personal trainer, to coach him back to health. During workouts, Jeff complained about nagging muscle pain and told her how existing pain relievers simply didn’t worked. She joked that we should make something especially for him. We did, it was our first product and it was the birth of KINeSYS plus a new partnership in business and life.
With Josie’s degree in exercise science, her background working for a top-tier cosmetics company and with the help of experts in chemistry, dermatology and sports medicine, we were pioneers with our products- a “hands free” topical analgesic and a new category of sun protection called performance sunscreens. We boldly created the first oil, alcohol, PABA, preservative and paraben free spray sunscreen that has since become the choice of top athletes, families and dermatologists. Focusing on quality and safety we believe we make the best sunscreens on the planet.
We have our own family now and we have complete confidence in all our ingredients- and our children love them! KINeSYS is also the world’s first “ethical manufactured" sunscreen. Since 1994 we support sustainable practices and call our initiatives EarthKind™. We can all make a difference. Whether it’s our health or our planet, we believe in protecting what’s important.

I envisioned a decadent bath and body line that could transform a mundane bath at home into a lavish spa-like experience." Benjamin, a MBA graduate with an advertising and finance background, decided to turn his wife's vision into a reality. Ten months later, ME! Bath was born.

At SkinMedica®, we believe everyone deserves to have naturally radiant skin. That's why we've dedicated years of research to formulating advanced skincare products that rejuvenate skin.
Our entire aesthetic product line is based on the science of the skin's own healing abilities. As skin ages, elasticity decreases, lines appear and overall appearance is diminished. To counteract the effects of time, our skincare products contain restorative ingredients that work below the skin's surface to regenerate the health of the skin.
Our scientifically proven recovery compounds include essential ingredients ranging from vitamins C and E to retinol to TNS®, our patented blend of growth factors, soluble collagen, antioxidants and matrix proteins. The impact is clear - fine lines are reduced, age spots and discoloration fade, and skin texture and elasticity is improved. All results of our commitment to creating a continuing skincare solution for healthier skin.

Award-winning and celebrity makeup artist and mom, Debra Rubin-Roberts, created Mommy Makeup to simplify the busy woman's daily beauty routine. She had her "light bulb moment" about a new makeup line almost immediately after giving birth. She realized she no longer had time to apply 13 individual items just to get a basic polished look. And unscrewing and screwing caps of product after product was eating up valuable time. She needed makeup that was quick and easy to apply — and if she needed it, surely other women did too! After 2 and a half years of development those 13 individual products became 6 multi-tasking wonders and her brainstorm MOMMY MAKEUP became a reality! Now you too can "Look Divine in Half the Time" with Mommy Makeup!
Debra's goal with Mommy Makeup is to have every woman look and feel beautiful in six minutes. The entire Mommy Makeup line is designed to save you both time AND money! Two things that every woman could use more of!

We found effective molecules to keep us looking younger longer.
My greatest source of inspiration is our loyal fans. Their remarks constantly inspire me to improve the efficacy and quality of our beauty products.

I am the founder and president of skyn ICELAND. I started my career in the beauty industry over 20 years ago (eeeghh!!) in marketing and product development and worked for many industry leaders. In 1999, I started my first company gloss.com (the first beauty website!) and sold it to The Estee Lauder Companies. I realized going back to corporate life was not the answer for me and wanted to follow my passion of addressing the global stress epidemic. I, myself, suffered a serious health crisis (from stress) in 1996 and wanted to use what I learned from that experience to teach and help others. That led me to create skyn ICELAND and here I am six years later! I love what I do and feel like I'm not "just" bringing another skincare line into the world but a real solution to deal with an issue that is serious and life threatening to people today. I have helped so many people look and feel healthier and more beautiful...what's more rewarding than that??

| Network: |
PMD, LLC Representatives |
The PMD, Personal MicroDerm system allows you to achieve the same skin rejuvenation and anti-aging results of a professional microdermabrasion treatment in the convenience of your own home. PMD at-home microdermal exfoliation system reveals younger looking skin by using the same aluminum oxide crystals found in the equipment at your doctor's office.
PMD works in two ways to produce amazing resur...facing results. The aluminum oxide crystals embedded into the exfoliating discs work to resurface the stratum corneum skin layer. This combined with the powerful vacuum suction of the hand held device stimulates blood flow and brings collagens to the surface; allowing skin care products to penetrate deeper into the skin ultimately revealing younger, healthier skin.
PMD greatly enhances poor, dull skin texture by gently resurfacing the superficial skin layers. Softens and modifies fine “expression” lines typically seen on the forehead and around the mouth. Polishes and reduces fine, crêpe lines on the cheeks generally caused by aging and sun damage. Smoothes pigment changes or skin discoloration. Contracts enlarged pores; exfoliates and suctions out clogged pores in case of acne, and polishes and smoothes out the margins of acne and burn scars.

Lee Graff began her career in 1985 as a Corrective Makeup Specialist at the CosMedic Clinic at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
At the Clinic, Lee searched extensively for products which would meet her criteria of achieving a totally natural look. Finding no existing products to meet these standards, Lee created her own line and so began the development of Cover FX. The products she wanted to offer her patients would be free of irritants and suitable for even the most sensitive, intolerant skins. They would offer her patients therapeutic benefits and environmental protection and she would be able to match each patient’s skin tone with a single shade.
In conjunction with Dr. Neil Shear, Chief of Dermatology at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Graff went on to create the Cover FX brand of total coverage cosmetics.
Lee continues her work as a Corrective Makeup Specialist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and has been instrumental in the creation of similar clinics of NYU Medical Centre in New York City, Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit Michigan and Howard University in Washington, DC.

This is the most compelling product I've ever been involved with. We're helping so many. Testimonials continue. It is really powerful to hear from people I've never met with success stories of no more pain, significant relief and much healthier skin. I completely understand the "over promising" nature of this market. Most I speak with have heard it all and tried it all. While nothing works for everyone, it is clear to me that I need to be doing all I can to reach as many as possible with this natural alternative for relief.

Founder & CEO of Babo Botanicals |
| Current Town: |
New York |
With the launch of Babo Botanicals, my mission is to provide the highest quality, purest hair, scalp and skincare products for babies and kids. Both my personal and professional experiences have contributed to my inspiration for the line. After the birth of my first child and drawing on my 10 years of experience in product development for beauty companies such as L'Oreal, Parfums Givenchy and Avon, it seemed like most baby "grooming" products were long on chemical names and didn't truly address our children's particular hair and skin problems. I sought to develop a line of botanical products that offer parents the same level of choice they value in selecting products for themselves.
Beekeeping and the Peace Corps
I grew up beekeeping with my father and when I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in South America, I used that skill to teach rural, women farmers to bee keep so they could earn additional income and also serve their nutritional needs. Besides establishing a large colony of hives, we implemented an organic, agricultural project to bring new vegetables into the area to enhance the nutritional value of the local diet. Supporting sustainable, pesticide free agriculture continues to be my mission. For this reason, I selected an organic farm in upstate New York to produce the Babo Collection. (see blog)
Fresh Solutions Based On Proven Plant Science
So, several years ago, I started down a path that would ultimately combine my expertise in prestige haircare development with my passion for natural ingredients. I began working with top botanists to develop a line of products that reflect the attributes I value and prefer for my own kids — sulfate free and allergy-tested, containing certified organic ingredients and plant-based science. I also worked with hair stylists from top Manhattan salons to ensure product performance and professional quality.

Launched by Gilman in 1999, the Grooming Lounge is comprised of a best-in-class web destination, iconic Barbershops & Men's Spa locations (in D.C. and Northern Virginia) and barber-formulated Grooming Lounge products (created and tested in the company's shops).
Gilman grew up in the men's grooming space, apprenticing within his family's salon distribution company and later working as a marketing leader at John Paul Mitchell Systems. The idea for Grooming Lounge arose out of a desire to find a destination where "regular guys" could feel comfortable getting the products and services they wanted... but were often too embarrassed to ask about in female-dominated stores.
