real beauty should never be age sensitive, color sensitive, or gender sensitive. philosophy products are a way of life for the thinking mind and feeling heart in search of simplicity and balance. the use of personal care products is always optional, yet for those of you who do, we ask that you consider the beauty of embracing goodwill. while it is our intention to help you better maintain the integrity and health of your appearance, it is also our intention to address the healing of your body, mind, and spirit. to look better, we must feel better. to feel better we must learn to forgive and love again. philosophy's promise is to bring its customers products that inspire them to live a better life by being better to themselves. our products care for your skin and your overall well-being. we take a mind, body, spirit approach to personal care and believe only when you feel good can you truly look your best. founded in 1996 by cristina carlino, a skin care entrepreneur and visionary with over 30 years of experience in the industry, cristina's first skin care company was biomedic, a medically-based skin care line distributed to the world's leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists. her vision for philosophy was to bridge the gap between what was offered in doctors' offices and retail; so, women everywhere could personally access leading skin care technologies. what is “in” philosophy jars and bottles can give you better skin. what is “on” philosophy jars and bottles can inspire better days. we believe in miracles, and we believe in the beauty in everyone. BeautyMark and beautymark.ca are proud to be one of the earliest Canadian sources of philosophy skincare, haircare & bodycare products.
