Interview with June Jacobs
Here is an interview with June Jacobs the fabulous founder of the June Jacobs Spa Collection, a luxury spa brand. In this interview June talks about her fascination with skincare, her connection with the Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skincare line, and how she managed to succeed in the skincare business all these years (via www.beautyinterviews.com)
How did your interest in skincare begin?
Following college graduation I began working for a prominent NYC based plastic surgeon. In my time there, I learned a tremendous amount about the skin and from then on I was hooked. I was so intrigued from my initial experiences and decided to pursue a career in the skincare industry.
What is different about June Jacobs Spa Collection?
My June Jacobs Spa Collection consists of paraben, preservative, and fragrance free products, with natural aromatics. When creating each product it was important to make them all user friendly. Not only is the line botanical, but each product is practical and results-oriented.
Which of your products are you most proud of creating?
I would have to say my Age Intensifying Group. It is incredibly special due to the technology and unique ingredients used to make these products.
What is new with June Jacobs Spa Collection this year?
I am launching Better Love Naturel, my new fragrance that is 100 percent natural and preservative free. It is a beautiful scent that is intoxicating to the senses.
You are also a co-founder of Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skincare. How did your business relationship with Peter evolve?
Peter and I were friends for many years. Before Peter and I began working together, I had helped to start another skincare company. One day when Peter and I were together the topic of joining forces to create a line came up, and we took it from there.
