Erica was inspired to find a solution to skin conditions following her late mother, who was Native American & Indian and mother in-law, who was African American both were left with troubling skin conditions following bouts with cancer and cancer treatments. Erica quickly recognized the absence of quality products to treat skin concerns and scarring for people of color. Erica made it her mission to formulate products for people with darker skin tones, she spent a number of years formulating and rolling out clinical trials to come up with evidence-based solutions that treat problematic skin conditions for darker skin tones. The full Derm7 line includes five different categories to address various skin conditions and concerns such as acne, scarring, melasma, blemish bleaching and anti-aging.
In 2013, Erica opened The Long Beach Medi-Spa where she spent several years conducting clinical trials to perfect her formulations that have become the award winning Derm7 product line. In 2014 Erica received a scholarship to Dermalogica’s International Dermal Institute and it was there that she became inspired and saw an opportunity to fill a gap that addressed the absence of effective skin care products for people with darker skin tones that experienced serious skin conditions, like her mother and mother-in-law. More recently, Erica was acknowledged at the 2021 Daytime Beauty Awards, where she received the 2021 Innovation Award for her Derm 7 product line.
