Job Description
Reports to: Sales and Education Executive
Brands: Drunk Elephant, Dr. Dennis Gross
Company overview
Shiseido was founded in 1872 as Japan’s first Western-style pharmacy in the upscale Ginza district of Tokyo and is one of the oldest cosmetic companies in the world. With over 140 years of dedicated service, superior products and unparalleled technology, Shiseido’s mission is to identify new, richer sources of value and use them to create beauty in the lives and cultures of those it serves.
At Shiseido, we hold a traditional Japanese value of “Omotenashi”, the spirit of welcoming and care that cannot be translated in words. Through this spirit, we practice thoughtfulness, dedication to the needs of others and meticulous attention to every aspect of our products and service.
Brand overview
The name Drunk Elephant is rooted in a myth. The story goes that elephants love to eat the fruit that has fallen from marula trees (they do), and the natural ******* content from the fermented marula fruit then gets the elephants drunk (it doesn’t).
We are committed to using only ingredients that either directly benefit the health of the skin or support the integrity of our formulations. We never take into account whether something is synthetic or natural, instead choosing ingredients based on biocompatibility.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare is a science-backed skincare brand founded in 2000 by dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross and his wife Carrie Gross. The brand is known for its innovative, multi-tasking products that aim to help skin reach its most beautiful potential.
Their Alpha Beta® Daily Peels are particularly iconic, offering dramatic results with continued use. The products combine natural antioxidants, vitamins, and botanicals with advanced delivery systems to provide transformative skin improvements.
