Since joining Colorescience as Vice President of New Commercial Operations in 2011, Juncal has been a driving force behind the brand's success. Boasting an impressive skincare and aesthetics background, her leadership and strategic vision have helped rebuild the Colorescience brand, firmly establishing it as a leader in 100% healthy cosmetics by fusing suncare, skincare and color into each product. Recognizing the importance of sun protection for current and future generations alike, she led the introduction of the brand's Sunstoppable™ outreach program that sun-proofs elementary schools nation-wide and earlier this year she can be credited for expanding the company into Sephora.com, making sun protection more readily available for consumers.
Juncal's passion is as tangible as her commitment to smart skincare and dedication to promoting a positive self-image for women, further supporting the brand’s unwavering belief that women should not compromise health for lasting beauty.
