Brand

Jack Black

Jack Black was founded in 2000 by Curran Dandurand and Emily Dalton in Dallas, Texas, as a premium men's skincare and grooming brand at a time when the men's skincare category barely existed. The brand was one of the first to offer sophisticated, active-ingredient-driven skincare specifically formulated for men's skin, which tends to be thicker, oilier, and more frequently irritated by shaving. Jack Black's Double-Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20 and Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 became bestsellers. Edgewell Personal Care acquired Jack Black in 2018, expanding its distribution through Nordstrom, Sephora, and other premium retailers.
