Ben Kamins, a preeminent pharmaceutical and dermatological chemist, has been developing medicines for physicians and dermatologists across North America for over 30 years. B. Kamins continues to develop breakthrough formulas in the field of progressive skin care at Montreal-based Odan Laboratories, which he founded in 1974. In 1997, Kamins founded B. KAMINS CHEMIST, which is quickly becoming one of the leading companies in the growing field of cosmeceutical skin care that bridge the gap between the dermatologists, plastic surgeons and traditional cosmetic counters. Kamins was the first to address the special needs of peri-menopausal and menopausal skin. The creation of the Menopause Cream and the Menopause Body Lotion marked the first product of its kind specifically targeted to hormone-deprived skin. Kamins originally formulated the preparation for his wife and after seeing the difference it made to the appearance of her skin, realized that many hormone deprivation skin symptoms could be treated without prescription medicines. Kamins introduced the product to the public in 1998.
