Trio of industry members launch male grooming brand
Rockface is a new male grooming range, said to bridge the gap between premium and mass market skin care for men. Aimed at the active sporty man, the brand has been set up by three former industry members: Neil Wilkinson, ex Revlon and Del Laboratories, Malcolm Parkinson, ex Coty, and John Cleugh, ex Revlon and P&G.

The range features eight skus, including 48 Hour Antiperspirant Deodorant Spray, Shower Wash, Shave Gel, All Weather Moisturiser, Face Scrub, Post Shave Balm and a Face Wash, with each product featuring the brand’s signature fragrance. This comprises top notes of green apple, bergamot, mandarin and coriander, a heart of jasmine, cedar leaf and muguet, and a base of precious woods, musks and amber.
