In 2013, Gabriel Cosmetics, Inc. will be celebrating its 20th year in business.

Over those years, the brand has vastly grown into a beauty empire with the addition of Gabriel Color, Zuzu Luxe by Gabriel Cosmetics, Clean Kids Naturally, and will be launching its first color collection Oceanid this spring, making up a diverse collection of cosmetics and children’s skincare products sold in a number stores throughout the United States.
