Fair succeeds Toulemonde, who has led SkinCeuticals as general manager since 2018. She joined the company in 2008.

She previously served as vice president of global marketing for SkinCeuticals DMI, where she led the development of two of the brand’s most successful product launches, Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 and HA Intensifier, and spearheaded the SkinCeuticals expansion into medical devices.

The new general manager of SkinCeuticals will be announced at a later date.

Founder Tammy Demos, previously of Cosmedix and Osmosis Beauty, notes, “Gen X is my age group. Our skin care journey has led us through the retin A era, vitamin C and then the clean beauty push. Our skin isn’t aging and inflamed from the lack of skin care products but rather the lack of nutrients that provide health.”

Notably, the company boosted its share of the selective fragrance sector by 60 basis points to 11.3%; revenues for the sector totaled about €1.6 billion.
