Beauty Reimagined: Where Science Meets Nature
Ever wondered what happens when skincare experts refuse to accept the status quo?
Michael Todd Beauty was born from that very question.

Our Story: Breaking the Beauty Mold
In 2008, while the beauty industry was churning out more of the same, three visionaries saw an opportunity to revolutionize how we care for our skin:
Lewis Hendler (you might recognize him as the co-founder of SCÜNCI — those hair accessories you've probably used your entire life) joined forces with Michael Friend and Lilia Friend with a bold mission: create beauty tools that actually deliver on their promises.
"We were tired of seeing the same old products with fancy packaging but disappointing results," says Michael. "So we asked ourselves — what if we combined cutting-edge technology with skincare using clean, organic ingredients to create something truly revolutionary?"
That question sparked a beauty revolution that's still going strong today.
Game-Changing Innovations (That Actually Work)
Our breakthrough began with antimicrobial sonic cleansing technology, but our innovation didn't stop there. Our award-winning Sonicsmooth — America's favorite at-home dermaplaning system — has transformed how people care for their skin.
With 250+ sonic movements per second (that's 15,000 per minute!), the Sonicsmooth gently removes peach fuzz and exfoliates dead skin cells simultaneously, revealing smoother, more radiant skin in just minutes. As verified buyer Sarah J. puts it: "This works far better than anything I used before, got off all the peach fuzz easier and faster, exfoliated great and all with no irritation."
The Sonicsmooth family has expanded to include the advanced Sonicsmooth Pro+ with CLEAR GLOW Technology that precisely targets and identifies peach fuzz. These innovations have made professional-quality dermaplaning accessible to everyone, eliminating the need for expensive spa treatments.

"You'll love what's in it. You'll love even more what's not."

Clean Beauty Before It Was Cool
"You'll love what's in it. You'll love even more what's not."
This isn't just our tagline — it's our promise. While other brands were loading products with questionable ingredients, we took a different approach:
✓ No parabens
✓ No sulfates
✓ No phthalates
✓ No artificial dyes
✓ No synthetic fragrances
Instead, we combine clinically validated actives with soothing botanicals to create formulations that deliver real results without compromise.
