Borbón has reinvented heritage formulations inspired by a mother’s wisdom in the kitchen and an abuelita’s knowledge of plant-based skincare solutions. “We believe that skin care starts with the art of clean living and that while one should nurture their skin, it is equally important that one honors their body,” says Milagro. “This is why we are such strong advocates for products developed with only the highest quality ingredients that are not only organic and sustainable but will never contain harmful synthetics, such as microbeads or petroleum-based components. Borbón uses only the best, purest, premium organic, non-carcinogenic natural ingredients in their entire line.

    ~ Carmen Milagro (Founder) 

    About Founder – Carmen Milagro 
    As a 1st generation San Franciscan and daughter of Salvadorian-immigrants born in the Mission, she learned early on as a young entertainer & patent-owning inventor that she must walk her own path, follow her own journey and to always, in as many ways possible, to pay it forward. Now, she is at the helm as founder of Borbón Skincare, Inc. and she plans to stay rooted in her community. She is working diligently to build the Borbón flagship site in the Bay Area, to help inspire other Women of Color in her own backyard and a major part of her growth plan for Borbón is to be inclusive and hire “locally diverse” people from the community as well as create an in-house “hands-on” training initiative to help people out of their low-income & disenfranchised positions. Borbón Skincare subscribes to the “Training-Skills-Not-Handouts” and “Pay-it-Forward” philosophies. 

    Carmen Milagro also sits on the Board of Directors for Heaven’s Door Cancer Foundation because she learned the true value of healthy clean products and how they allow Cancer Warriors feel better in their own skin when she was helping to care for my mother before she passed away. Once the company in is profit mode, Borbón plans to create a BODO (Buy One Donate One) program for the cancer warriors & divas at Heaven’s Door Cancer Foundation. 

    Says Carmen Milagro, “Music is my passion but helping others is my purpose!”

    Brooklyn Cloth, a Fast Fashion Line for Men that Won’t Break the Bank

    Thinking of where the cool stuff comes from in East Coast, I guess my first answer would be Brooklyn. Yes, a very artistic and young area in New York. I lived in Brooklyn for over a year, and I definitely enjoyed the culture and fashion at there. I want to introduce Brooklyn Cloth, a fashion-forward line in the “fast fashion” junior’s market, co-founded by Daron Jacob while working with Urban Outfitters and Tilly’s. Jacob noticed many of the men’s products in the mass market were too pricy, so he created fresh designs for a low price point with Brooklyn Cloth.

    Created to fit the laid-back, yet distinguished individual that roams the boroughs of New York City, the design team mirrors this demographic and lifestyle. The energy and attitude of bustling streets and the vibes of the East Coast are woven into the fabrics of the garments, giving off an authentic, pure aesthetic of this unique lifestyle. The makers design their own fabrics, beginning from the yarn level— focusing on items such as Joggers, Shorts and tees using Space Dye and Snow. Jacob notes, “We are focused on the Gen Z consumer. Someone who is not defined as one fashion or style but likes to change up their looks depending on their mood.”  

    Brooklyn Cloth® is a men’s & kids lifestyle brand that is inspired by the New York surf and skate scene. Created to fit the laid-back yet distinguished individuals that roam the boroughs of New York City, both men and kids alike. This is directly influenced by their design team whom mirror this demographic and lifestyle. The energy and attitude of their bustling streets and the vibes of the East Coast, are woven into the fabrics of their garments giving off an authentic, pure aesthetic of this unique lifestyle.

    Mouthwatchers – Invented By A Dentist

    Do you want to get the feeling of a professional teeth cleaning at home? The answer is definitely Yes! Dr. Plotka’s brushes keep your teeth clean with their two innovative features. The first is their antimicrobial technology. The bristles on each toothbrush are infused with natural bacteria-fighting silver that kills 99.9% of bacteria within 6 hours after brushing! An untreated toothbrush can grow up to 100 million microorganisms between brushings. That’s gross! Dr. Plotka’s naturally antimicrobial brushes are here to eliminate that problem!

    The second way Dr. Plotka’s toothbrushes innovate is with their amazing Flossing Bristles. These bristles are ultra-thin (1 micrometer!) at the tip, allowing them to reach areas that other toothbrushes often miss. Plus, they’re made out of polyester, so they last longer than traditional toothbrush bristles (up to 4 months instead of 3)!

    While you enjoy having clean, healthy teeth and gums thanks to Dr. Plotka, your little ones can too–Dr. Plotka’s toothbrushes come in a smaller “youth” size as well!

    Why I choose Mouthwatchers by Doctor Plotka:

    • OFFERS DIFFERENT STYLES – Comes in adult and youth sizes as well as a travel toothbrush
    • NATURALLY ANTIMICROBIAL* BRISTLES For Better Health – Infused with silver to naturally eliminate 99.9% of bacteria that grows on the bristles between uses
    • FLOSSING BRISTLES™ – Revolutionary, dual-layered bristle structure provides superior cleaning: the outer bristles, thin as a human hair, gently brush away food and plaque in places other brushes miss! 
    • LONG LASTING POLYESTER BRISTLES – You’ll get up to one extra month worth of use thanks to the polyester bending and upgraded properties. 
    • Dentist Developed – Dr. Ronald Plotka designed this innovative toothbrush as part of his thriving 40+ year Boston-based dental practice. 

    About Dr. Plotka:

    Dr. Plotka is a nationally renowned Boston area dentist with over 40 years of dentistry leadership.
