SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY
Didier
Rase , CEO, Didier Rase Laboratories(France)
The pioneer of male cosmetology: Son of a doctor, Didier Rase founded his first company at the age of twenty, before launching himself into the world of international trade for several years.
A short time at the head of an occupational risk prevention company taught him that men neglected their skin to an unbelievable extent. The initiator of male cosmetology, he then created in 1979, the first complete range of grooming products for men, he was not even thirty.
An inspired innovator
Taking inspiration from this use of hormones, in 2003, Didier Rase started to turn his research efforts to men.
In Autumn 2006, he discovered Phyto-androzyme®. The beneficial properties of this molecule on the general condition of male skin have been clinically proven. Its effects on the metabolism of testosterone means that it is for male skin use only. The molecule has been patented worldwide.
The male revolution
In March 2006, Didier Rase sold CS Dermatologie to the British company, Sinclair
Laboratories. By the end of 2006, he had developed the very first range of cosmetics scientifically developed for me. In May 2007, he founded the Laboratoires DIDIER RASE and, on 23rd October 2007, his grooming range became available on the internet.
Thirty years after his first steps at the service of men skin, Didier Rase launches a revolution in male cosmetology.

Antonio
Basso , Founder, MAn Personal care
(Spain)
Working for fourteen years in the Financial Services Industry
as a private banker can be a very stressful career, and pressure
had left its undesirable traces on the face of the advisor and
darkened his soul. But for Antonio Basso the saying ”every
cloud has a silver lining” cannot be more applicable!
It was while being “up close and personal” three
years ago, that the silver lining appeared and gave Antonio
the career change he was seeking thus launching MAn Personal
Care into the world of male grooming.
With six hundred top quality face and body care products and
a full range of treatments tailored specially for men and delivered
by a team of experts, bliss is guaranteed.
We at MAn know that taking care of yourself is good for you,
