SkinBrands was founded in 2002 when David and Tracey
Beesley, moved back from America and always said
if they could start a new business in the UK, they
needed to find an American product/proposition
that would do well in Britain. At that time “Cosmeceuticals” although
already in the UK were not at the fore-front of
skincare and there was certainly space for a new
brand – i.e. SkinCeuticals. Procedures such
as line reducing injectables and muscle-relaxing
treatments
– again, although available did not dominate
the market as they do today. Mind you, there was real
passion behind SkinCeuticals………Tracey
used it for a year prior to taking on the distribution
and swore she would never use anything else!
Not long after came along B Kamins,
a chemist developed brand, doing very well in pharmacies
and doctors offices in the USA. Brands hotly followed,
not always because they were being “hotly” pursued,
we sourced them all, wanting to offer to our clients
and customers, quality brands. Susan Posnick came
next, followed by SkinMedica (now the number two
brand in the USA stocked in medical offices). The
revolutionary Growth Factor product, the TNS Recovery
is already a firm favourite with Jennifer Aniston,
Bo Derek and Oprah Winfrey.
"Our core aim is to
provide excellent products that do exactly what
they claim they do as well as offer excellent customer
service both to our accounts and consumers alike".
The Future
We have a lot of brands now, enough to keep us very busy. That’s not to say we won’t look to source other products if we’re hit between the eyes by the most amazing new anti-aging product or procedure. We will always aim to provide the best of the best and do our research before bringing to the UK market.
