Our Mission
To put the science of skin back into skincare by taking a holistic, simple approach to caring for the largest organ of our body.
Our Founder: Filomena Arends
“A Woman in a Man’s World”
Filomena Arends, who had over 60 years of experience in the beauty industry, developed the GINAMARIE Product line. The inspiration behind wanting to develop a skincare line came from losing her first husband at a very early age from Melanoma. Filomena was widowed at age 30. In the early 1960s-70s, she owned a cosmetology school and Woman’s World Spa. At Women’s World, women would receive facials, body wraps, new hairstyles, makeovers, nutrition classes, yoga, and more.
With each entrepreneurship endeavor, she was moving toward the development of a new skincare line that could be used by women, men, and children. Filomena was on a mission to create products that were simple and effective and took a commonsense approach to care for our skin, creating the company named after her daughter, Gina Marie. She formulated our skincare line to be compatible with skin as an organ ensuring that each product is pH-balanced, water-based, gentle, antioxidant-rich, and made with naturally derived ingredients.
