“We believe that Fresh is more than what it sells; it’s the emotional connection to the brand that we call the sixth sense. It’s the heartfelt experience.”
Let’s discover together Fresh, a Boston-born and New York-raised brand that will take us on a journey, from Bulgaria to Japan, to discover the beauty secrets of the wonderful world!
Pills of History
The story begins in 1991 in Boston, with Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg: Russian immigrants with a great wanderlust, curiosity for all things beauty and the need for a beauty that could be effective but that would also be indulgent.
So, even though they were born in Boston (starting from a little local shop that developed into the amazing line we know today), the world has always been their oyster. The founders travel a lot and to every corner of the world to discover new ingredients and find inspiration in traditional beauty remedies all around the world. Lev and Alina draw endless inspiration from their travels and use everything they learn to create their own version of ancient beauty secrets and formulas.
You never know when the right product or formula might appear, or when the perfect beauty tip might be revealed by a wise grandmother!
However, once they find something that inspires their creativity through their journeys, the product comes to life through research and development at a world-class laboratory by a team of over 200 scientific experts. Therefore, since 1991, Fresh mixes the right amount of passion and top-notch research, creating the perfect mix for the innovative beauty brand.
The Mission of the Brand
The brand is driven by the idea, initiated by Lev and Alina and lived by the entire organization, that “the sky is the limit,” especially when it comes to discovering new, never-seen-before corners of the beauty world. From ancient history to hidden traditions, all the way up to natural and carefully-selected ingredients, Fresh draws inspiration everywhere with boundless curiosity. They define themselves as “pioneers in everything: in product, experience, in culture, and in the process.”
An example? The founders took inspiration from their Russian grandmothers, who used sugar to heal their scrapes as children.
From the veils of history, instead, Fresh created the Crème Ancienne, which is based on the formula of the world’s first cream, developed by the physician to Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The brand takes inspiration from these formulas, studies them, then creates its own, modern, enhanced version, but without ever forgetting its roots.
But that’s not everything: the entire ritual of skincare is elevated with Fresh and brought to a level where is the skin itself that talks to us, as long as we listen to it.
At Fresh, the skin is considered a living organ with ever-changing needs: changing not only with the seasons, which most of us already take into consideration but also with where we live, where we travel, how stressed we are or even the time of the day. Our skin has cravings, just like we do, and needs different things. Sometimes, the skin needs something rich and enveloping, some others it wants light-weight and water-fresh products. That’s why Fresh created a hugely different range of products that can be used in succession or mixed-and-matched, to highly personalize our beauty routine according to our skin’s needs.
We just have to listen!

Therefore, the moisturizer is obtained through an innovative and environmentally friendly process, which allows to capture the effectiveness of the plant while remaining on site.
