Houston, TX – (February 17, 2015) Beautiful inside and out, the acronym and essence of BIAO
Skincare, a Houston Texas bases emerging skincare company. A budding face in the beauty industry,
Biao Skincare has set itself apart in the saturated market of natural beauty products. The pure, honest
and effective skincare collection consists of three remarkable beauty essentials—a rejuvenating
cleanser, lightweight night crème, and revitalizing facial mask. Dedicated to healthy beauty, the three
products create soothing and age-defying effects resulting in flawless skin.
“To be beautiful means you have a light that shines in the darkest of places,” says founder Nicole
Baldwin. As a child Nicole’s face was severely burned in a cooking accident that left her with facial
scaring. “My grandmother began making her own herbal remedies using vitamin E to heal my scars
and it worked!” When creating Biao Skincare Nicole trusted her grandmother’s skin curing ingredients
and amended a signature formula with a few of her own. The two essential luminary ingredients used
in the Beauty Rejuvenating Collection are EpiCalmin TCM, a formula traditionally used in Chinese
medicine practices and Babassu oil, a seeded oil that grows in the Amazon.
In the natural beauty world Biao Skincare is the first of its kind to mix luxury with green. With global
beautification in mind, Biao has focused its philanthropic purposes to creating 100% recyclable and
post-consumer content packaging. Each box in the Biao Skincare collection is thoughtfully
handcrafted using textured tree-free fibers resulting in both an elegant and fresh appearance.
Recognized for its altruistic aspirations, Biao was selected for HBA’s International Package Design
Awards as finalist for Green Packaging.
Biao Skincare is a socially responsible natural and organic skincare line that will nurture skin of all
ages using pure and effective ingredients. Founded in 2010 by Nicole Baldwin, Biao Skincare provides
consumers with beneficial products that can help increase the appearance of their skin while also
unleashing their beauty. For more information about Biao Skincare visit www.biaoskincare.com.
