In 1976, the Ford twins created a unique San Francisco beauty boutique with a whimsical candy store atmosphere. The shop grew famous for delivering quick fixes for every gal's peskiest beauty dilemmas, and with a "double" dose of wackiness mixed with know-how, the twins successfully built Benefit into a global beauty brand. The "friskiest" beauty brand now has over 1,000 counters in more than 40 countries.
