Iconic beauty franchise has a long history of corporate responsibility and helping entrepreneurs create a meaningful life in business
For businesses across the country, the concept of corporate social responsibility has never been more important. But at Merle Norman Beauty Franchise, this idea was literally the foundation of the company when it was founded all those years ago by a medical professional who wanted to help others.
Indeed, Merle Norman started her career studying medicine and chemistry, and in the late 1920s, started to use those skills to create a line of products that would make women feel beautiful, confident and comfortable in their own skin. A passionate believer in women’s rights, Norman fought her whole life to empower women as business owners, as well as offer products and services that made them feel their best.
“Merle Norman Cosmetics is committed to helping women feel beautiful,” says Travis Richards, Board of Director at Merle Norman Cosmetics. “While beauty quickly becomes apparent on the outside, it begins with women feeling comfortable in their own skin, proud of their appearance and confident in who they are. Merle Norman’s mission is to give every woman a more beautiful life.”
Merle Norman beauty franchise has been helping its business owners and customers long before the term “corporate social responsibility” became a buzzword. Our brand’s mission statement is not concerned about the vanity within physical appearances, but instead, to provide products that truly help others feel better, whether that be mentally or physically.
According to the Harvard Medical School, using cosmetics has been proven to help women feel more physically attractive, and as a result, increases self-esteem, attitude and personality. In fact, the simple act of just putting on makeup has been shown to be a therapeutic way to take some time for yourself throughout the busy day.
And that’s not even to mention the definite health benefits. Using the best ingredients and latest available technology, our top of the line, superior products help women protect and strengthen their skin against all the wear and tear of aging. Cleansing treatments, too, can remove excess oils or impurities from skin to help maintain that healthy glow. Expertly designed and manufactured, we now offer hundreds of products that have been used by women and improved on over the last nine decades in business.
“What we’re doing right now is we’re taking the old mentality and we’re bringing it into the new with newer technology. We’re giving you effective products like we always did, but they are better,” says Erica Herrell, Director of Research and Development for Merle Norman.
