Beautypreneur Ph | Beauty That Empowers |

It is increasingly evident today that consumers benefit from a growing interest and a vast knowledge about health and wellness. Many of us are more conscious of the decisions we make and the products we choose, especially if it means injecting them into our bodies and bringing them into our homes.

One to echo and illustrate this shift is Filipina entrepreneur Nikki Tang, the powerhouse CEO of DMark Beauty and DermAsia under the DMark Group of Companies. Recounting the unprecedented impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, she imparts how 2023 marks embracing holistic change and well-being, be it in her personal journey as a parent and a corporate leader, or Tatler in the continued quest of furthering her homegrown 78 beauty empire.

“Self-care helps me to be able to balance my role as a mother, a leader and as a member of the community,” Tang shares. “For me, beauty is empowering. It should be about encouraging creativity, giving confidence and expressing yourself as well as connecting with others.”

Since founding DMark Beauty in 1998, she has been passionate about bringing the world’s finest dermatological products and technologies to the Philippine market and inspiring change in people’s lives through their safe and science-backed effects. Adding onto the company’s initial offering of Neostrata and its renowned anti-ageing solutions like alpha hydroxy acids or AHAS, DMark Beauty has grown its portfolio to cater not only to women but also to men and children. To date, it proudly carries the brands Bioderma, Heliocare, Sebamed, Teosyal and Puressentiel among many others.

It thus came naturally in 2004 for Tang’s formidable team to build and establish DermAsia as a leading distributor of medical and dermo-cosmetic devices for the country’s top dermatologists and aesthetic centres. This second venture allowed them to pervade the local scene with the crème de la crème in aesthetic devices, crafted with a combination of expert science and advanced technology. Nearly 20 years later, DermAsia now offers reputable brands like Alma Lasers, RoboticLift, SymaLift, QuadroStar, AGNES, Lumenis and Geneo Ultra.

While the industry continues to progress and become even more competitive, Tang assures that DMark Beauty and DermAsia’s core values and commitments will never faltered. She goes on to say, “What the new year means for us is to be consistent in our quest to bring the best of highly researched technology for beauty and skin care for Filipino consumers. We also want to continue providing state-of-the-art medical aesthetics devices for the face, body and overall wellness, thereby making us the most trusted by medical and aesthetic professionals alike.”

Indeed a noble undertaking that they have undoubtedly achieved only through constant innovation and forward-thinking insight, this mission to revolutionise the industry remains anchored on in-depth connection with the companies’ patrons. Through their understanding of the public’s ever-evolving needs and demands, the DMark Group of Companies will surely continue to purvey high-quality offerings with a stronger focus on sustainable packaging and eco-friendly ingredients this 2023.

“In beauty, you’re not only seeing more natural cosmetics and skincare but also a greater focus on where things come from. I’m glad that we’re one of the companies who were able to adapt to these changes,” Tang relays. “It excites me to think about how the concept of beauty has evolved over the years. Beauty brings power to a person not only to look better but to do better and be better.”

In addition to this, Tang’s companies have truly become emblems of trust, quality and integrity in the field by cultivating strong collaborations and alliances with doctors, professionals, hospitals and aesthetic centres over the years. “I believe that building close- knit relationships with clients is key to the long-term success of a business,” Tang muses. “Beauty has now become a lifestyle; it is already a part of our culture. We always strive to personalise the customer experience by establishing an emotional connection with our Filipino consumers at multiple touchpoints, including our social media to stay relevant, create awareness and be part of their journey.”

By resounding a compelling message underscored by reliability and fulfilment, the DMark Group of Companies is not only an advocate of confidence and self-expression but also a proponent of a well-rounded community in beauty and wellness. Their mission to provide holistic care can only propel them onto greater heights onward.
