Revlon® knows that beauty can be all things to all women. It can be frivolous, it can be chic, and it can be natural or glam. Using the right products and a little bit of insider knowledge is all it takes. Revlon’s journey of innovation began in 1932, when Charles Revson, his brother Joseph, and a chemist named Charles Lachman (providing the ‘L’ in the name) devised a revolutionary product – the first opaque nail enamel to use rich pigment as a base. It opened up the possibilities of colours and shades never before seen: pinks, corals and the trademark ‘Revlon® Reds’. The Revlon® brand vision of providing innovation and excitement through quality products still applies. Today the brand is sold in over 175 countries and is recognized as a true global beauty brand.

In China, as well as in Egypt, nail color represented social class. During the Chou Dynasty, circa 600 BC, gold and silver were the royal colors.

Most beauty products come with claims that are seldom proven and tested scientifically enough to prove they really work in the real world. These cosmetics products simply state their claims and the consumer is expected to accept this as definitive proof that it does. As we all know it, it doesn’t always work and can even lead to some complications due to the minute differences people have in their skin chemistry. Now one particular anti-aging product, namely Boot’s No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum, has undergone just a study and guess what, it really works. Now this isn’t to say that we are endorsing the product but the scientific data from the UK is indeed showing the product to have resulted in the production of more fibrillin, the chemical compound that results in healthy skin.
