75 years ago, in her native Romania, Christine Valmy began creating natural skin care products with ingredients from her garden. In 1961, she moved to the U.S. and pioneered the country's esthetics profession, opening its first school in 1965. For decades, Ms. Valmy worked with her daughter, Marina, to fine-tune treatment techniques and product formulas based on a deep knowledge of how skin functions. Together, they advanced the beauty industry through education and product innovation. Today, Marina Valmy leads the organization, staying on the cutting edge of new trends and technologies to shape the next generation of beauty professionals, while remaining forever true to her mother's original vision of all-natural, effective skin care. The Christine Valmy organization has remained steadfast in the traditions of excellence and expertise.
