Ben

He primarily performs a therapeutic Swedish style of massage and incorporates various techniques from other modalities that he has studied over the years depending on what he feels is appropriate for each individual client.

I think my love affair with skincare started at a very early age. My father used to let me sit on the sink and watch him shave. Afterwards, he’d draw funny designs in his shaving cream to make me laugh. The scent of his after shave and pine cologne, cologne he could only get in Italy, still linger in my memory.
My mom and her Oil of Olay rituals in the morning and night were mesmerizing to me. These moments taught me the importance of properly cleansing, toning, and hydrating the skin.
Through my own experience in learning and working to nurture my body, my desire to create a skincare line grew.
Mimo7 is the manifestation of that goal. With organic ingredients and essential oils our Mother Earth has provided, my new desire is for each product to transcend the artificial world we’re walking into. To remind us that the earth we live on is not to be taken for granted, and can continue to provide for us as she always has, so long as we reciprocate that care.
I hope you’ll love Mimo7 as much as I do.
