TOM PORTER, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF MALIBU
Wellness Inc. and author of the book Your're Not Aging,
You're Just Oxidizing, has always been drawn to the latest
and greatest—and he has used that pioneering spirit to
grow a booming beauty business. He may have started
on a dime from his guest bedroom and garage,
but Malibu Wellness Inc., with its exclusive
brand Malibu C, has come a long way.
Tom Porter and his wife, Deb, still
manufacture every product in their
thriving 60,000-square-foot India-
napolis facility, complete with labs,
operations and classrooms, while
the company's executive and mar-
keting offices perch alongside the
Pacific Ocean in Malibu, California.
Beauty Store Business recently
sat down with Porter to discuss his
background, innovations and latest
research—and what they mean for
both beauty stores and customers.
Tom Porter and his Malibu C
brand are on the cutting edge
at the intersection of beauty
and wellness.
