Biography

Dr. Angelo P. Thrower

He is a medical doctor, specializing in ethnic skin and hair conditions, opened his private practice more than 30 years ago. Since that time, he has formulated a line of skin type specific skin care products, authored three test books covering skin and hair care for ethnic skin, and has served as one of the team physicians for the NBA's Miami Heat since 1992.

A graduate of the University of Miami School of Medicine, and George Washington University Medical Center in Washington DC, Dr. Thrower has contributed greatly to the study of dermatology in ethnic skin, writing the book Black Skin Care for the Practicing Professional, and co-authoring Skin Care: How to Save Your Skin and Basic Care for Naturally Textured Hair.

We believe that perfect skin is healthy skin no matter the tone, that skincare is a journey, and skin education is key. We focus on diverse skin tones because high pigmentation skin has unique needs often underserved by mainstream brands. We are a black-owned brand with a purpose: to support our #glower's skincare journey into healthy, glowing skin with proven formulations and professional advice.
