Physicians Formula appoints new board member

Skin care specialist Physicians Formula has appointed Padraic Spence to the board of directors as part of moves to further increase the company’s market reach.

Spence replaces Sonya Brown on the board, who is resigning as director to pursue other business interests.

Physcians Formula CEO Ingrid Jackel said Spence had been appointed to the board because of his extensive experience in the health and beauty category, most recently as a consultant.

Commenting on Spence’s appointment to the board Jackal said: “His background researching, analyzing and capitalizing on consumers’ increasing demand for more healthy beauty options will be of particular benefit as we continue to build our Organic wear franchise.”

The Organic wear franchise is the company’s latest foray into the premium skin care category and comprises a range of Ecocert approved natural make-up products that includes mascara, blush, bronzer and foundation lines.
