Major B2B Swiss Skincare Lab, Eblouir Group, Launches E-commerce

Eblouir Group is a major Swiss Lab mainly famous for its Skin Repair line “Less is More”, focused on minimalist cure and prevention. Established in 2014, this company was first and foremost focused on the professional market B2B, supplying a network of 6000 distributors globally: mostly medical groups, hospitals, hotels, spas, and retailers.

At the time where most beauty brands started going retail and then tried to expand to the B2B market (with more or less success), Eblouir Group did quite the opposite: they launched B2B first and established strategic partnerships within the professional market.

Mr. Vu-Hoang Lê, Co-Founder and Group CEO, shares, “My dream was to create a business that could merge beauty and science, to help people achieve a healthy and radiant skin. In order to be successful, instead of spending big money on ads that will have no benefits to our consumers, we would have to invest heavily on Research and Development, and the testimonies will be our marketing.”

Medical Grade Skincare

In other words, “Beauty is Vitality Revealed.” A strategy that has proven highly successful over the past six years, despite involving zero marketing outside customer feedback, as the company boasts 85% repeat business, thousands of corporate partners, and 140 shops. 

During an interview with In-Corpore, a Swiss Medical Center famous for medical tourism, Mr. Lê explains how the deep collaboration with strategic distributors like hospitals enables the company to invest their R&D where there is the most urgent need in terms of skincare and dermatology. And while Eblouir Group would focus on what they do best (R&D, skingredients, and products), they would entrust their commercial partners to distribute the products worldwide and give them feedback on the future needs expressed by clients or doctors.

Brand Awareness

Victim of its success, Eblouir’s Instagram page has reached 500,000 fans and are eager to learn about skingredients (“ingredients for your skin”), and getting skincare lessons from Swiss doctors. With global pandemic COVID-19, people are staying at home a lot more and are therefore willing to become their own “dermatologists” at home. We could say that 2020 is the year of social mediaand Eblouir Group has taken this opportunity to launch their E-Commerce website.

The beauty business is a $532 billion worldwide, and while the cosmetics industry invests in huge marketing campaigns, the same cannot always be said about their Research and Development. Eblouir Group (Switzerland) has certainly proven that there is certainly a huge demand for medical-grade skincare worldwide, or as they call it “Skin Repair.” We hope that in the future, more brands will follow that trend and keep innovating. Consumers deserve quality over quantity. And from what we know, “Made in Switzerland” is a label highly sought after worldwide, for both high-quality and luxurious products, but also medical and pharmaceutical research.

Growing up in Summit, New Jersey, the young music artist was surrounded by great sound. With hard-hitting beats reverberating on the walls around him, Lil J soon discovered an interest and a love for music.

While considering forging a career path in the industry, Lil J kept busy making a name in lacrosse. He was widely recognized as one of the top players in his high school and was quickly recruited for his face-off ability.

Aside from setting the stage for his future international success, Lil J’s recent debut is also the mark of a dream nearly realized. Having fantasized about being where he is now and further for a long time, the young rapper is ecstatic about his first single.

“I decided to pursue my dream of being a rapper because it would make me happy. I want a job that I would love to do for the rest of my life, and being a rapper would, for sure, make me blissful.”

Working multiple minimum wage jobs for a long time, starting a career in the music industry is a welcome addition to Lil J’s growing portfolio. At present, the rising music artist is working on numerous powerful tracks that will exhibit not only his unique flow but also his discovered brilliance at the 2011 acting camp of the New York Film Academy.

In preparing to dominate the rap scene, the young rapper has armed himself with the two key ingredients to his future success: talent and will. “I am very determined to make it to the top of the rap game and have my picture and name known by everyone around the world. It would be a dream come true for me, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get there.”

Jimmy Baratta on Giving Back in Esports Through the NACL

Up until recently, no one would have thought that esports would become as big as it is today. There are esports events and tournaments worldwide, and there are even professional players and teams. As a result, the gaming community grew, and there are now several platforms where players and enthusiasts can interact and bond over their shared interests. Jimmy Baratta has helped create a new way to support collegiate esports athletes in this new frontier through his nonprofit league, the NACL.

Jimmy Baratta was trained as a civil litigation attorney. After six successful years working in a prestigious law firm in California, Jimmy decided it was time for him to pursue his love for gaming. “I am incredibly passionate about esports,” he shares, “I have been a gamer my whole life.” After making that decision, Jimmy has successfully shifted careers from law to esports business development.

Apart from founding ICEBRKRSCLAN, a network of content creators and competitive players founded by Baratta in 2017, and consulting for Granderson des Rochers, a high profile entertainment law firm in Beverly Hills, in 2019 Jimmy Baratta established the North American Collegiate League (NACL) with FaZe Clan seed investor David Chen. Jimmy Baratta and David Chen noticed that scholarships are usually only given to traditional sports athletes or academic achievers, and decided to fill a void, so that competitive esports players also can attain higher education. The NACL, they state, is a non-profit organization that aims to support collegiate competitive esports players through scholarships.

Baratta’s NACL now has over 220 colleges and universities affiliated, that compete and participate in NACL events. The NACL maintains broadcast licenses in some of the biggest games in gaming: from Fortnite to CS:GO, Madden, and more. The NACL has hosted tournaments every month since its launch and distributed over $100,000 in funding. The NACL also streams events and tournaments through their partnership with Chinese service Huomao and iSunTV across 8 Asian territories, Latin America, and the U.S. This large fan base gains the NACL nearly 1.5M in viewership, establishing itself as the predominant name in collegiate gaming.

A brief history – the NACL hosted their first event in November of 2019 at the ISM Raceway during NASCAR’s 2020 Championship weekend. NACL ambassador and NASCAR driver Anthony Alfredo led the campaign, where students competed against each other and against NASCAR drivers to claim the esports prize. The event was such a success, it was repeated on March 15, 2020 at Phoenix Raceway, where the NACL showcased NASCAR Heat 4 to the public in a tournament that was crowned with the winner of the LS Tractor 200. Since then, the NACL has shifted its model to support online tournaments, both increasing viewership, participation and charitable reach. 

Apart from his philanthropic endeavors and founding of the NACL, Jimmy Baratta has continued to build a successful career in the esports business. He is currently a consultant for XSET, and fondly calls Clinton Sparks a mentor and friend. Jimmy also sits on the board for The Esportz Network. Jimmy also works with software developer Wizard Labs as head of user acquisition, and is the new VP of Special Events for XR Sports. Besides his corporate roles, he also accepted a position at the University of California Irvine as a professor of esports.

Following his passion has made such a positive impact on Jimmy Baratta’s life. Despite his success, he never forgets his commitment to the community – most evident in the NACL. He wants to encourage young people to see gaming and esports as a positive influence in their lives, now more than ever. To help with that, he has a mentoring program through the ICE clan, and also gives back by providing college scholarships through NACL to individuals who want to use their skills in esports to get a college education. 

In pursuing a career in esports, Jimmy Baratta followed an unconventional route. But his decisions have paid off, and he hopes to inspire anyone else wanting to switch jobs or pursue their passion.

Pavel Kozlov’s Fighting Spirit on the Wrestling Ring and On-screen Inspires Many

A series of severe challenges and seemingly overwhelming odds could not keep Pavel Kozlov from achieving success in professional wrestling and acting. His undeniable talent, charisma, and indomitable will now serves as an inspiration to many.

Kozlov was the only child of parents who were both math professors at the University of Moscow, Russia. Tragedy struck Kozlov  early in his life. He lost his father when he was only 13 years old. As expected of such an experience on someone so young, Pavel was greatly affected.

Around this time, Kozlov discovered American professional wrestling. One night, his mother called out to him from another room to go see what was on TV. It was a WWF show translated into Russian. Kozlov was instantly mesmerized. However, even his pursuit of this new-found interest was wrought with difficulties. Unlike in America, pro wrestling was not yet developed in Russia. What little that was shown on TV only aired once a week and very late at night for only 45 minutes. Determined, Pavel recorded each one using VHS tapes so he could rewatch them again and again.

The lack of schools to learn wrestling in meant that Kozlov had to settle with what was available to him. He trained in self-defense and kickboxing. Although he was already engaged in fighting and sports, he still yearned for professional wrestling. He was drawn to the story telling and characterization in wrestling that was absent from other combat sports. It became clear to him that he needed to move to the USA if he really wanted to become a pro wrestler.

Leaving Russia and moving to America pretty oved to be the toughest challenge of Kozlov’s life. This involved being separated from his mother. He also resolved to drop out of his final year of study in journalism at the University. But as he has proved time and time again, his fighting spirit was enough to drive him to fully commit to pursuing his dream.

Life in America was expectedly hard. Kozlov only knew very little English. Whereas in Russia he had a job in journalism, in America he had to wash dishes and flip burgers in fast food chains. At the same time, Kozlov wasted no time training in pro wrestling. He enrolled at the WWA4 school in Atlanta, Georgia where he studied wrestling for a year and a half. He also participated in various independent wrestling matches. After leaving WWA4, Pavel trained at Team 3D Academy of Professional Wrestling in Orlando, Florida.

In spite of, or perhaps because of, all the obstacles that he had to overcome, Kozlov now enjoys the fulfilment of his dreams. In 2015, he made his first wrestling appearance for the WWE. He is now recognized as Victor Romanoff, the Siberian Fighting Spirit.

Kozlov has also set his sights on Hollywood and has found success there. His talents and drive have earned him roles in a number of short films, TV shows, and independent productions. In both wrestling and  acting, Kozlov’s fighting spirit is an undeniable inspiration to many.
