Est. Las Vegas · 2016 · A Copeland brand
HygeniSkinexists because one makeup artist made one promise — and the world’s working artists have been carrying it forward ever since. This is the story behind the shield, the family that built it, and the mission that still shapes every box we ship.
The founding promise
HygeniSkin was founded in Las Vegas in 2016 by George Copeland, fulfilling his late wife Dana Copeland’s wish to put a hygiene-first palette in every working makeup artist’s hands. Dana knew what every good artist eventually learns the hard way — the back of the hand is where bacteria, viruses, oils, sweat, hair and dead skin live, and it is the last surface that belongs anywhere near a client’s face.
The first 2,500 makeup artists received the product at cost. And the last 2,500 at $12. That is not a promo — it is the mission Dana left behind, and it is still the promise the brand keeps today.
The mission — a hygiene-first palette for makeup artists
Every artist mixes on the back of their hand. It is fast, it is natural, and it is the single most contaminated surface in the chair. Bacteria, viruses, oils, sweat, stray hair and dead skin all live there — and the moment the artist dips a brush into product on that surface, every one of them rides straight to the client’s face.
The HygeniSkinshield is a single-use, sterile, hypoallergenic barrier that sits on the back of the hand so the artist can keep mixing the way they always have — without transferring anything but the product. Transparent, waterproof and latex-free, it works with cream, liquid, gel and powder formulas, and it slips into a daily kit without changing the artist’s routine.
That is the daily-kit ethos behind HygeniSkin: a hygiene-first palette that protects the artist, protects the client, and fits the way real working artists actually work.
