1944Where it began

75 Years of Natural, Effective, Educated Skin Care

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 US and pioneered the country's esthetics industry through education and product innovation, receiving commendations on her work from around the globe.

Today, Marina leads the organization, mentoring students at Christine Valmy International School and experimenting with ingredients, often late into the night, in the Christine Valmy lab. The result of her dedication and passion is an exceptional, unique product line, forever true to her mother's original vision of natural, effective skin care.

Always Cruelty-Free

We do not test on animals. Instead, we have a broad network of friends and family who love to try our products and help us perfect our lineup.

Approved Leaping Bunny brand

We also teach skin care using our products in our schools, so our students continuously provide us with new insight. This gives us an extraordinary understanding of how each formula works across a wide variety of skin types, helping us fine-tune every product for optimal results.

Educated Skin Care®

Every ingredient we include serves a purpose, whether to increase product absorption or to support the skin's healthy functioning. We are just as deliberate about what we leave out.
