PROFILE |
 |
Soft Sheen Products is keeping the shine on its business. The company is a leading maker of ethnic hair care products, including shampoos, conditioners, gels, and hair straighteners. Founded in 1964 by Edward and Bettiann Gardner, Soft Sheen was the largest African-American-owned beauty products company in the country until its acquisition by L'Oréal USA, a division of French cosmetics giant L'Oréal. The family hasn't been given the brush-off, though: president (and weekend Porsche racer) Terri Gardner, the founders' daughter, continues to run the company. Soft Sheen brands include Tender Care, Baby Love, Care Free Curl, Wave Nouveau, Sportin' Waves, and Optimum Care, the industry's best-selling hair relaxer.
