Christine Valmy, founder

A Legacy Born from Passion

In 1944, in her native Romania, Christine Valmy began creating skin care products with ingredients from her garden. In the 1960s, she moved to the United States and pioneered the country's esthetics industry through education and product innovation, earning recognition from around the globe.

Today, Marina leads the organization, mentoring students at Christine Valmy International School and perfecting formulas in the Christine Valmy lab. The result is a product line forever true to its founder's original vision of natural, effective skin care.
