The Mario Badescu brand is owned and operated by the Cabasso family, who acquired it in 1984 after the death of the brand's founder, Mario Badescu. Joseph Cabasso is the president of sales and co-owner. Mario Badescu, the founder of the eponymous skincare brand, was a Romanian-born chemist and skincare specialist.
Every Mario Badescu product – from conception to shipping – is made inside the company’s 160,000-square-foot Edison, N.J. factory. Roughly 20,000 units of the company’s best-selling Drying Lotion are produced daily, among nearly 200 other products.
The Cabasso family has since grown the business into a brand with a cult following, sold in more than 70 countries.
Mario Badescu is promoting the ideal beauty routine based on skin concerns. According to the company, some of the key ingredients in its products include collagen, vitamin C, sodium hyaluronate, niacinamide and zinc oxide.
