Forsythe Cosmetic Group History
Founded in 1979, Forsythe Cosmetic Group is a family-owned company based in New York. The brainchild of Buddy and Harriet Rose, Forsythe Cosmetic Group is widely regarded as a pioneer within the professional beauty industry, having earned a reputation for creating innovative, trendsetting products upon which industry standards are built.
Capitalizing on Buddy's business savvy and Harriet's uncanny ability to forecast trends, Forsythe was one of the first companies to recognize and address the needs of the professional nail salon, a new phenomenon at the time. Aspiring to fill a void within the cosmetic marketplace, the company began producing high-quality nail lacquers formulated exclusively for professional nail technicians. Rather quickly, the Forsythe name became synonymous with excellent, performance-proven products available in a diverse range of eye-catching shades.
In 1997, Michael Rose, the son of Buddy and Harriet, joined Forsythe, bringing with him new ideas, youthful energy and a love for the company his parents established. Today, more than three decades later, Forsythe Cosmetic Group remains a vanguard in the beauty business by constantly introducing new concepts and elevating industry standards. The company's ability to do this is based upon its behind-the-scenes team of talented professionals, ranging from in-house chemists and research and development personnel to industry leaders in marketing, branding and art direction. Giving it a distinct advantage over competitors, Forsythe manufactures every product it offers, a practice that ensures superior color-matching quality control and the ability to respond quickly to consumer demands for the latest and most exciting trends in nail color, nail treatments and lip color.
Forsythe is not only renowned for its exceptionally safe products made with the best raw materials but also for its long list of industry firsts including fast drying nail polish, the nail polish corrector pen, UV top coat and spray Silica nail dryers, to name a just few. Today, Forsythe continues to produce such high-performance brands such as Color Club and Art Club, two of the fasting growing brands in the industry. Forsythe is also a leader in Private Label cosmetics.
