about us

our heritage

• founded in 1996 by cristina carlino, a skin care entrepreneur and visionary with over 30 years of experience in the industry.
• cristina's first skin care company was biomedic, a medically-based skin care line distributed to the world's leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
• her vision for philosophy was to bridge the gap between what was offered in doctors' offices and retail; so, women everywhere could personally access leading skin care technologies

our style

philosophy uses children's pictures and lowercase writing as a way to highlight the simple pleasures in life and remember the genuine curiosity and wisdom that is the childhood consciousness in us all. children encourage us to be creative, fun and live in the moment. they remind us to believe in magic and to color outside the lines. our photographs celebrate our love for family and friends.

what is "in" philosophy jars and bottles can give you better skin. what is "on" philosophy jars and bottles can inspire better days. we believe in miracles, and we believe in the beauty in everyone.
