SUPER CARE PHARMACY AGREES MIDDLE EAST DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH VEIL COSMETICS
Dubai, UAE: Gulf Marketing Group announced today that its Super Care Pharmacy chain has agreed a Middle East distribution deal for Veil Cosmetics, the revolutionary new skincare make-up brand that is taking North America and Europe by storm.
The full Veil Cosmetics product range will be available in Super Care’s 44 branches immediately and the brands are working together on additional distribution channels throughout the region
Veil Cosmetics offers a unique new range of products in which skincare is built directly into the make-up. It uses Lightfast Technology™, a proprietary blend of active ingredients that targets the production of melanin spots, soothes irritations, and deeply hydrates.
The brainchild of internationally acclaimed celebrity makeup artist Sébastien Tardif, Veil Cosmetics is inspired by Tardif’s foundation in both art and fashion, and his desire to immediately lift and illuminate the skin. Tardif cultivated his skincare sensibilities during his tenure in Asia, which led him to develop weightless, refined textures that are virtually imperceptible. These hybrid products demystify cosmetic usage while creating a flawless, natural, glowing complexion.
Veil Cosmetics’ oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free and alcohol-free products are currently marketed at selected outlets in the United States, Canada, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Mohammed A Baker, GMG’s Deputy Chairman, said:
“Veil Cosmetics is one of the most talked-about brands in cosmetics and skincare today. Sébastien has created something that is truly unique. This is a luxury brand that is ideally suited for the women of the Middle East.
“We see huge opportunities for the Veil Cosmetics brand, in our Super Care stores initially and then branching out across new channels. This is part of our long-term strategy of building our retail offer through partnering with the world’s best brands in our chosen sectors.
“Super Care is evolving as a business, with new product and service lines creating a holistic wellness, beauty and lifestyle offer. This deal is another important step on that journey.”
Sébastien Tardif, Veil Cosmetics’ co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, added:
“I created Lightfast Technology™ to mirror my signature make-up style, and decided to infuse this science into every product by Veil Cosmetics. Even-tone, hydrated and light-infused skin is the true fountain of youth.
“I am delighted that we can now extend our product range to the Middle East. GMG is the perfect partner as we reach out to these exciting new markets.”
