A Leader in Natural Skin & Hair Care for 35 Years
SHIKAI began 35 years ago with a vision. With research, incredible determination and a touch of magic, it has grown into the company it is today.

Dr. Dennis T. Sepp, an organic chemist with an interest in natural products and Dr. Vasant Telang, a  pharmaceutical chemist with knowledge of auyervedic medicines, were interested in exploring the exceptional properties of several natural plants which are utilized in the care of skin and hair.

Long before Smashbox cosmetics was created, its founders, Dean and Davis Factor, were becoming legends as the ambassadors of style in Los Angeles. It began when these brothers—two very unique entrepreneurs and the great-grandsons of makeup legend Max Factor— combined their talent and heritage to create SmashBox Photo Studios Los Angeles.

Today, Smashbox is a virtual compound of cool on any given day our state-of-the-art facility is inundated with the most sought after celebrities, models, photographers and musicians.
