Glo Skin Beauty

What Glo Skin Beauty does

Glo Skin Beauty is a privately-held clean beauty brand founded in 1998 by a plastic surgeon, headquartered in the United States and operating direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefronts in the US, Canada, and the UK. The company sells mineral makeup and clinical skincare products formulated with vegan, cruelty-free ingredients and active technologies including vegan Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Vitamin C complexes, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, Peptides, and AHAs. Its product portfolio spans 40+ SKUs across cleansers, serums, moisturizers, eye and neck treatments, SPF products, foundations, color cosmetics, eye makeup, lip products, and tools, plus curated bundles and a Discovery Set trial program. The brand has earned third-party recognition including the Dermascope Aestheticians' Choice Award (2019), NEWBEAUTY 2023 Award, and the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation.

The company operates a dual go-to-market model: a direct-to-consumer channel via owned Shopify storefronts with Subscribe & Save auto-replenishment, and the gloProfessional B2B partner network targeting aestheticians, makeup artists, medspas, and salons globally. The B2B channel includes unlimited dropshipping, affiliate commissions, dedicated account management, live virtual workshops, on-location training, and an elite rewards program. Distribution is complemented by authorized retailers and a store locator for in-person purchase. Pricing ranges from $24 to $498, with bundles offering 16-32% discounts versus individual SKUs.

Recently, Glo Skin Beauty has accelerated product cadence with seven 2025 launches including the Bio-Renew EGF Rich Repair Cream, Modern Matte Foundation, reformulated Luminous Liquid Foundation SPF 18, Lash Lengthening Mascara, Water Resistant Mascara, Renew Serum, and the LED Spot Device — its first hardware product for acne treatment. The company is privately held with no disclosed revenue, headcount, or institutional investors.
