Baxter of California Celebrates 55 Years of Pioneering Men's Grooming

Dec 7, 2020

The iconic LA-based brand looks back on the history of men's grooming and honors its Founder by dedicating December 7 as Baxter Finley Day

LOS ANGELES - December 7, 2020 - (Newswire.com)

Baxter of California, the pioneer brand of men's grooming founded in Venice Beach in 1965, celebrates 55 years of success in the men's grooming world, from several award-winning products and innovative formulas to impactful messaging around #LifeLivedTrue, its signature hashtag.

Back in 1965, Baxter Finley, the Founder of Baxter of California, had trouble finding skincare products made for men. At the time, there was no market for men's personal care—so he decided to create it.

"Baxter of California has gained a cult following amongst consumers, retailers, celebrities and industry professionals alike, proving Baxter Finley's vision for the men's grooming market an important one," says Ilana Roby, Head of Global Marketing at Baxter of California. "I'm thrilled at everything we've been able to accomplish over the last 55 years as a leader in men's grooming—and look forward to another 55 years!"

One of the brand's star-products to this day, the Super Shape Skin Recharge Cream, was the first product developed by Mr. Finley himself. As the interest in men's grooming grew in the coming years, so did Baxter of California and the brand's range of products in the skin, hair and shaving categories. The brand's roots in Los Angeles have inspired its core values and products to come from a place of individualization—self-care for you.

"Baxter of California provides quality and consistency that is unmatched," says Josh Velazquez, Lead Artist and Educator for Baxter of California. "They are always evolving to be better than they were yesterday, and their longevity is a testament to that."

In celebration of this momentous anniversary, Baxter of California has dedicated today, December 7th, as Baxter Finley Day in honor of the brand's iconic founder. Consumers can enjoy special deals on exclusive kits and bundles featuring star products in the 2020 Holiday Shop, as well as celebrate with the brand digitally by following @BaxterofCA on Instagram.

No time for the gym? How micro-workouts could help busy professionals improve their health

For many professionals, finding an hour for the gym is about as feasible as finding an extra day in the week. There are deadlines, family obligations, late-night calls and the small matter of getting enough sleep. That is why “exercise snacks” – or micro-workouts – have become so appealing. Rather than reserving exercise for a long session, the approach breaks activity into short bouts: a brisk climb up stairs, a few squats between meetings or an interval session squeezed into a lunch break.

To stay relevant, PH mall chain evolves with the times

The term “malling” has been in use since the late 1970s and meant just that — a trip to the mall to hang out with friends, shop for groceries, have a meal or catch a movie. For decades, it was a favorite pastime of many, but consumers’ needs have changed and continue evolving. “We are seeing that Filipinos care more about experiences than just buying things,” said Steven Tan, president of SM Supermalls, at a media briefing held Sept. 10. To meet that shift in demand, the country’s largest mall chain has been going beyond expanding its footprint by providing spaces and serving as a venue for Filipinos to explore their varied interests. That evolution is reflected in the way SM Supermalls is reshaping its spaces and programming to respond to the activities and experiences that matter most to consumers today. Among the clearest indications of that shift is the growing interest in wellness and social activities, which malls are increasingly incorporating into their spaces and events. Over 40,000 runners participated in the Galaxy Manila Marathon and SM2SM Cebu events this year. “The numbers we’re seeing for active lifestyle are really amazing,” Tan said, adding that wellness is now part of people’s daily routines. “We now have 102 pickleball courts spread across 32 SM malls nationwide.” The arts have also long been championed by the chain. In the ‘90s, one of the upper floors at SM Megamall was devoted to art galleries and exhibits. Since then, its cultural offerings have expanded with the opening of Museo del Galeon, events like Art for Everyone, and interactive campaigns like Gala to the Max. Tan also announced key milestones for the chain, including the newly opened SM Seaside Cebu Arena and the launch of SM Supermalls’ 90th location in Zamboanga City earlier this year. “With 25,000 seats, SM Seaside Cebu Arena is actually bigger than our Mall of Asia Arena. It will now bring world-class concepts, concerts, and major sporting events in the Visayas region,” he said. “[The Zamboanga opening], meanwhile, marks another major step in deepening our presence across Mindanao, bringing lifestyle experiences to even more communities.” By November this year, SM Nuvali will open along the South Luzon corridor. Once operational, the sprawling mall will house the country’s first LED cinema screen experience of its kind. Matching consumer demand, SM’s tenant footprint grew four percent in the first half of 2026, surpassing 23,000 tenants nationwide. “Food, leisure, and lifestyle concepts are leading the demand right now,” said Hanna Carinna Sy, senior assistant vice president for marketing and leasing. “We’re actively curating a mix that keeps shoppers staying longer.” Over the next six months, several existing malls will undergo property upgrades, including SM City Iloilo, SM City Naga, SM City Santo Tomas in Batangas, and SM Aura. Beyond retail, SM has been supporting local economies by partnering with nearly 900 small businesses daily, hosting trade fairs for 3,000 entrepreneurs, and connecting over 330,000 job seekers through more than 500 job fairs. Its environmental programs also focus on nationwide plastic collection and solar power integration. “We want to grow, but we want to grow responsibly,” Tan said, noting that the company aims to build lasting opportunities and spaces where communities can connect.
