Dr. Farouk Shami, founder and chairman of Farouk Systems Inc. (FSI), was presented the Beauty's Heroes of the Pandemic Award during America's Beauty Show. This honor acknowledged beauty industry professionals for efforts and leadership during the worldwide pandemic.
As the United States and the world grappled with Covid-19, Dr. Shami developed and supplied Americans with products to protect themselves against the virus. This resulted in a new collection called Health + Care, which began with natural aloe-based CHI and BioSilk hand sanitizers and then expanded to produce a full line of antibacterial products with soothing, moisturizing natural aloe vera for hands, body and hair.
Once the hand sanitizer was developed and FDA approved, the haircare giant donated millions of dollars-worth of hand sanitizer to the City of Houston and surrounding cities in Texas. FSI's mission to give back, however, did not stop there. The company donated CHI and BioSilk antibacterial haircare and skincare to hospitals, medical staff and first responders who were in search of products that sanitized but were gentle on hair and skin. Donations, which toppled $17.5 million, were also made to shelters, nursing homes, places of worship, schools, food banks, community programs, and youth organizations across the nation.
As the pandemic continued to surge, FSI further expanded its development of products to include the CHI Life UV Light Lamp, CHI Life Handheld UV Light Wand, and the Automatic Dispenser for Hand Sanitizer and Soap.
"It was a great honor to be recognized by my fellow hairdressers during such a difficult time of hardship and uncertainty," said Dr. Farouk Shami. "Farouk Systems continues to serve the nation and provide professional hairdressers with products and tools to help combat this virus."
