ABOUT US

Judith Bartonne products are the result of many years of testing and developing skin care and cosmetics by a mother and daughter team. They loved working together creating products that women would immediately recognize as effective and easy to use.   

In 1958 Aubrey McDonald was asked to test a new line of skin care products developed by a cosmetic chemist for the movie industry. Aubrey had never had anyone compliment her skin but after a few weeks, she started receiving comments on her pretty complexion. Being a consummate salesperson, she convinced the chemist to keep her supplied after the testing until she could find a way to market them. 

In 1961 Aubrey was approached to join a startup cosmetic company and agreed to become a partner if she could select and develop the product line. The company was incorporated as Fashion Two Twenty on 2/20/62 – the day astronaut John Glenn made his historic orbit of the earth. The products were eagerly accepted by women nationwide, realizing Aubrey’s dream to share her favorite products. 

Aubrey’s daughter, Judy, joined the company in 1964 and soon began developing unique products, fragrances and innovative packaging.  She received several national and international awards for creative products and packaging, including induction into The International Biographical Centre For Business Achievement in Cambridge, England. She served as a judge for the Braun Foundation International Packaging Exposition in New York where packaging ideas were submitted by designers from around the world.  

In the late 1970’s Aubrey and Judy developed another line of skin care products - Aubrey Creations. Aubrey portrays the belief that when you do what you love, it ceases to become work, not retiring until age 75. She renamed the line Judith Bartonne – Judith for Judy and Bartonne for her inspiring mother, Dona Barton.   

When Aubrey was a little girl in the early 1900’s, her mother Dona used to tell her what colors to wear and which ones to avoid. Later she did the same with her granddaughter, Judy. It became evident that Judy had inherited her grandmother’s eye for color, when she became a certified color analyst. She realized that all the advice she and Aubrey had received from Dona was absolutely correct.  
 
Years of study and experience working with hundreds of women, Judy is recognized as an expert in how color affects our appearance, how we feel, our personality, and surroundings. These experiences have evolved into the shades and colors selected for the Judith Bartonne line being classically inspired yet up to date.    

Aubrey’s promise to our customers was: “When finer products are available, we will have them”. Our Skin Care products have been refined over the years, as new ingredients have come on the market. We are very proud of our line and our clients – many of whom who have been with us over 45 years – who tell us they can’t be without Judith Bartonne. 

Immediately after hurricanes seriously damaged their homes, two Florida customers called needing skin care. That speaks volumes about their loyalty to Judith Bartonne products. 

The years of experience and exploration that have gone into the development of the Judith Bartonne skin care products and cosmetics have resulted in a line that we truly believe will be the best investment you can make for YOU.
