The 33-year-old Westport husband and father hadn’t given the industry much thought until a fateful trip in the early days of the pandemic opened his eyes to its missing pieces. "I left NYC in a rush and forgot most of my stuff, including my generic CVS aisle skincare,” Rosenblum recalled. “So I started using my wife’s products, and they worked. Better than anything I’d used before.” But those products weren’t made for men, and that stuck with him. "That got me thinking: Why doesn’t skincare for men feel intentional?” he said. "Everything…
