Taking her first step
independently, Dina started with a small drugstore, Beauchamps Pharmacy, in
1989. But she did not just stop there. In 1999, she further established BCP
Dermatological Corporation as the marketing arm to distribute products, and the
Stalder Laboratories Incorporation as the manufacturing arm to produce
different products for every skin need.
Moreover, Diana
Stalder Face, Body, Skin Care and Beauty Cafe was first established in 1996
with a name Dermaline Facial Center. The brand name was changed in 2004
carrying the name of Dina’s daughter, Diana Stalder, who is now a registered
pharmacist and aesthetician following her mother’s steps into the business.
Now, DianaStalder Face, Body,
Skin Care Centerhas already been in the industry for 21 years. Dina presides over a skin care empire that
includes five branches and counting and her own skincare manufacturing company,
which boasts of a CGMP certification, which refers to the current Good
Manufacturing Practice regulations enforced by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). “It’s better than an ISO
certification,” says Dina. The reason they can keep their products at a
high quality and at still reasonable prices is because they manufacture their
own line.
Luxurious Treats
Other than quality products,
Diana Stalder also provides excellent service from basic care to anti-acne,
anti-aging, whitening and other medical procedures, to high quality and
luxurious treatment.
This is the best time to try their imported luxe line of facial
treatments because as a treat both to new and loyal customers, they are
offering discounts on their most indulgent treatments from July-September, in
line with the third year anniversary of their Gateway
branch. A number of these are from Casmara, a luxury
beauty company from Spain with over 40 years of experience.
·
The Nacar Treatment plus Blanc White is a combination of two
powerful brands for fast and effective whitening plus anti-aging. It promotes
skin lightening and illuminating which is suitable for all skin types,
especially for skin with localized and diffuse blemishes.
·
The Caviar Luxury
Facial treatment plus dS Anti-Aging Kit is an Anti-Aging Fusion, which is an
excellent way to get rid of wrinkles and sagging skin. Just the name alone of a Caviar Luxury facial already evokes
indulgence. This is because the trace elements of caviar promote smoothness and
elasticity.
·
The Instalift Luxury Facial is so called because it’s non-invasive
and an
alternative to facial surgery in combination with Rgnerin Mask RT4 Retinol with
Vitamin C, which stimulates cell regeneration. This
treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles, lift and tone facial muscles, firm
facial contours and gives more youthful appearance. The Rgnerin Mask contains linseed oil,
which softens and acts as an emollient while the aloe soothes and tones, and
acts as an anti-irritant.
·
Nothing says luxury like gold, and the Skin
Sensations treatmentincludes Casmara Gold Mask 2080, which contains 24k gold dust and seaweed
extract, which tightens the face and neckline combined with
intense nutrition and revitalization. The seaweed extracts provides deep
moisturization.
If there’s something Dina is really proud of, it is the excellent
service they provide no matter the tier of treatment you choose. “We are a favorite of various local coupon
sites because we never skimp on our facial supreme treatment;
it’s always 15 steps,” she says with pride. At Diana Stalder, they start with evaluating
your skin. They have a machine called the skin analyzer imported from
Germany,
which identifies your skin type and your problem areas, and they will tailor a
regimen that is suitable for you.
Diana Stalder is also certified by the British Association of
Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (BABTAC), and they adhere very strictly to their
high standards of hygiene and aesthetics.
Diana herself, on top of her degree in pharmacy, also completed an
intensive aesthetics course in the United Kingdom, where this practice is taken
very seriously and involves a very high level of professionalism. This is the
philosophy they apply across all their branches.
DS Cafe: Total Beauty and Wellness Concept
Because of their holistic approach to beauty, Diana Stalder also
expanded their skincare center to include a cafe and juice bar. “I love cooking,” she shares, “and the food I serve here is also food that
I enjoy.” Her philosophy for the cafe is to serve something that’s healthy
but also enjoyable, rather than restrictive. The cafe offers salads,
sandwiches, and various meals, all adhering to specific calorie counts and
included healthy amounts of vegetables, protein and healthy carbs, so diners
can make informed choices.
Such concept was borne
from her dynamic vision who values healthy diet supplementation in better
addressing various skin issues. Combining both skin treatments and healthy
eating means more positive results. Adding to its offer a unique way to lose
weight, Dina is the only Filipina coach of Canada’s Ideal Protein Weight Loss
Program. This diet regimen utilizes precisely measured alternative food
sources, customized to clients’ profiles and lifestyles for a more effective
way to shed unwanted pounds in just few weeks.
Furthermore, dS Cafe promotes a healthy and relaxing way to celebrate any occasion with your family and friends with Sparty (term for their spa party), in which you can have facial and body treatments plus healthy meals and beverages.

Social
Responsibility More Than A Business
More than just a
business, Dina
has also chose to be a strong advocate for causes such as
the environment and community development. Dina built her manufacturing company
in her hometown of San Isidro, a sleepy town in San Pablo, Laguna, providing
employment and housing for people of various educational backgrounds that may
not have had the opportunity otherwise. “It
would have been easier to build a factory in the industrial zone,” she
admits. “Everything is set up for you;
all you have to do is build and plug in.” But as a daughter of a farmer, the grit and determination
that served her well in business is something she applies equally to her
causes, and there was never any question of not just giving back to her
hometown, but empowering them.
Dina is equally proud of her company’s blue ribbon award from the
Laguna Lake Development Authority that signifies environmentally responsible
businesses, and it has to be said that this is a bar many other bigger
companies have failed to clear. Dina animatedly talks about waste segregation
and sludge/water recycling as enthusiastically as she does her company’s beauty
treatments. With the help of the Mother Earth foundation, the community has
also produced malunggay tea, mushrooms, and green charcoal. In what could be
called a crowning achievement, in June, Dina Stalder was chosen as one of several featured honorees for Vice-PresidentLeniRobredo’s
development program “Istorya ng Pag-Asa”,
that aims among other things, to inspire less privileged youth to never give up
on their dreams as well as provide scholarship opportunities.
The business of the beauty is a competitive one and new trends and
technologies keep popping up all the time. Both Dina and Diana constantly
research and keep up by attending courses, completing certifications, and
learning about all aspects relating to body care and skin care in Canada, Spain, Switzerland, the United
Kingdom, and the United States. Dina and Diana bring the knowledge
and technology back home to share with everyone. Indeed, the
Stalders are continuously building their skincare empire.
