SilcSkin™

SilcSkin™ is the original silicone anti-wrinkle pad, invented by Emmy award-winning Hollywood make-up artist Camille Calvet, CEO of Calvet Cosmetics.

Calvet Cosmetics of Los Angeles, California is the manufacturer of the SilcSkin™ brand of silicone anti-wrinkle pads.

How & why?

“With more than 25 years experience in the Hollywood film & television make-up industry, working with some of the biggest movie stars in the industry, I quickly learned the most prevalent issue was eliminating face and body wrinkles. Having used silicone extensively in mould making and prosthetic application, I noticed how silicone had healing and softening properties when used directly on scars” said Camille Calvet, inventor and producer of SilcSkin™ products. “So, after experimenting and testing my first prototype the Décolleté Pad with silicone, I was extremely pleased that I had created a long-lasting product, that is safe and easy to use on the highly sensitive chest area, is non-invasive and costs a fraction of the price of surgical alternatives.”

Camilles range of silicone anti-wrinkle pads have now been expanded to cover the face and the neck and they are sold and sought after worldwide for their quality and longevity.

Jane Iredale 

Jane Iredale is the president and founder of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, a company she founded in 1994 which brought the mineral makeup line jane iredale to the aesthetic industry. She was the first to supply this industry with a line of makeup that had skin care benefits.

She was inspired to develop a makeup that was good for the skin by her career in the entertainment industry where she saw actresses and models struggling with the ill-effects of the many kinds of makeup they wore. Her experience in working with women whose careers depended on a clear complexion allowed her to see how skin disorders and sensitivities not only threatened careers, but also destroyed self-confidence.

Jane has always thought of makeup as an essential part of a woman's sense of well-being and she wanted to make that easy to achieve. That's why her mineral powders are a foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen all in one, and why every product in the line is multi-functional. Her goal is to make products that look good, feel good and are good for the skin. Products must be easy to apply, as well, so that a woman can be her best in the shortest amount of time.
