The Face of Armani Beauty departs glam to Seek wellness through A visionary fellow survivor
Reimagining Beauty: The Founding Story of Halo42 Skincare
Amid his journey through a challenging year-long cancer treatment, Tim Quinn, a revered makeup artist with two decades as Vice President at Armani Beauty, discovered the power of beauty and wellness in healing. His quest for personal and professional growth led him to Mark A. Turnipseed's best-selling memoir, an enlightening narrative of overcoming suicide after a life-threatening lung disorder diagnosis through the unconventional use of Copaiba. Inspired by Mark's story and holistic approach to wellness, Tim reached out, setting the stage for a profound collaboration.
Together, Tim Quinn and Mark A. Turnipseed embarked on a transformative journey to create Halo42 Skincare, a brand that symbolizes rebirth and the power of beauty merged with wellness. Tim, leveraging his extensive background in the beauty industry and the deep empathy gained from his cancer journey, found in Mark not just a co-founder but a visionary business partner. Mark, with his unparalleled experience as a wellness coach, CEO, and creative director, brought to the table a unique perspective on healing and self-care, shaped by his own recovery and professional expertise in mental health counseling.
Halo42 stands as a testament to their shared belief in beauty's profound impact on mental health and overall well-being. As they ventured globally to uncover the secrets of beauty and mental health, their first discovery was the Brazilian Copaiba, an ingredient that resonated deeply with their mission. The resilience and healing properties of Copaiba mirrored their own journeys, making it the cornerstone of Halo42's inaugural skincare line.
Halo42 Faith Inspired Logo
At Halo42, we draw inspiration from the Circumzenithal Arc, a rare and extraordinary phenomenon often called the "upside-down rainbow." Visible only at 42 degrees, this stunning sight appears regardless of storms clearing, symbolizing hope and beauty within any circumstance.
The vision for Halo42 began when Co-founder Mark Turnipseed woke from a dream with this peculiar image etched in his mind. It resonated deeply with Mark, who, after being diagnosed with a condition predicted to leave him on oxygen by age 36, experienced a transformative salvation through Christ Jesus. This shift in perspective allowed him to see himself as a beloved child of the Heavenly Father, empowered and renewed.
At Halo42, we believe that your beauty and hope lie in a simple shift of perspective. We aim to share this empowerment with everyone who uses our products, reminding them that their true beauty is not confined to outward appearances but deeply rooted in a redeemed and hopeful spirit.
For us, the Halo42 rainbow represents the promise of the New Testament—a symbol of redemption and restoration through Jesus Christ. Unlike the rainbow in Noah’s story, which appeared after the storm, this rainbow signifies hope that exists regardless of the storms in life. With Halo42, you don’t have to wait for the storm to pass; through Christ, all hope is already restored.
The Brazilian Secret
After creating Halo42, Tim and Mark embarked on an enriching journey to seek out the worlds greatest skincare secrets. Their first stop was to find out if the brazilian culture had a secret to the most elevated and sought after skin.
There, they became enamored by the magic of Copaiba, a precious resin known for its incredible benefits in skincare. Learning from local experts, they delved into the ancient plant medicine wisdom of Copaiba and its remarkable properties.
With this newfound knowledge, Tim and Mark meticulously crafted the most exquisite skincare product, infusing it with the essence of Copaiba to enhance its transformative effects. Halo42's luxurious formulation, combined with their passion for inner beauty, became a beacon of radiance in the skincare industry.
