Cosmetic chemist and “certified nose,” Vince Spinnato knows a thing or two about beauty, with a career spanning over 25 years in the personal care, cosmetic and fine fragrance industries. As President & CEO of TurnKey Beauty, VS Vincenzo Ltd., and Vincenzo Skincare, Spinnato has formulated and developed hundreds of products for skin and hair care, color cosmetics, bath & body and fine fragrances as well as baby products, pet products, and an energy drink! His newest luxury product, Caviar & Diamond debuted in 2020 under the Vincenzo Skincare brand – www.vincenzoskincare.com
Considered a cosmetics industry expert, Spinnato has been a contributor to Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, W, Esquire, GQ, Whole Foods Magazine, Health News Digest, Riviera, among others. His memoir, My Pursuit of Beauty: A Cosmetic Chemist Reveals The Glitz, The Glam and The Batsh*t Crazy was released in January 2021 and a documentary about his life is in production.
Spinnato’s celebrity clients include Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Lorna Luft, Carrie Underwood, Victoria Beckham, Seth MacFarlane, Jessica Simpson, Michael Jordon, and Lindsay Lohan.
He has also refined and developed cutting-edge technology, as well as FDA approved ingredients for over 300 brands for the private sector and retail companies including Chanel, Estee Lauder, MAC, Victoria Secret, Bath & Body Works, Gap/Banana Republic, Lorac, Proctor & Gamble, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and Aveda.
Growing up in a religious Italian family in Vineland, New Jersey, Spinnato chafed against the strict family rules but loved his family deeply. By the age of 10 he knew he wanted to create his own line of beauty products. And at the age of 20 he headed west to pursue his dreams. Over the next 25 years Spinnato experienced a number of adventures – many of which ended up in his tell-all memoir, published by BookLogix.
To honor his late father and grandfather, both musicians, Spinnato established two annual college scholarships in 2015 for talented seniors at his former high school. He recently donated a well to “Wells of Life”, a provider of clean water wells in Uganda. A portion of the proceeds from Caviar & Diamond will be earmarked for the organization.
