In the last few months, the company has appointed an old hand at direct selling to the board and has changed its corporate name.  


Appointed as chairman emeritus is Jose Tabora, who founded Beautifont and successfully battled multinational companies until he sold the company to Avon Phils.

                    [Summary] => If there’s a person who should be credited with introducing direct selling in the Philippines, it’s Jose Tabora, the founder of Beautifont Inc.  Very few today would remember, much less know,  the  Filipino brand of cosmetics that was such a phenomenal market success in the 1960s and the 1970s.


Tabora got the business idea while he was based in New York as a Philippine vice consul.  At that time, many well-to-do Filipinas would  ask him to accompany them to Charles of the Ritz to have their complexion analyzed and then to have cosmetics specially formulated for them.
