Founder of Vintner's Daughter
 
A thought-leader in the beauty industry, April Gargiulo is the founder of Vintner’s Daughter, a performance-driven, nutritional skincare company whose mission is to have a profound positive impact on the skin, life and world of its customers through its commitment to unparalleled quality and craftsmanship. April’s background in fine wine making informed her exacting quality and craftsmanship standards.
 
Before starting Vintner’s Daughter, April spent eight years at the helm of her family’s Napa Valley winery, Gargiulo Vineyards. She launched Vintner’s Daughter in 2013 with a single game-changing product, Active Botanical Serum. It quickly became a word of mouth, cult favorite among editors, beauty enthusiasts, skincare professionals and made Vintner’s Daughter one of the most coveted and beloved skincare brands. In January of 2023, she launched her third product in ten years, Active Renewal Cleanser, nearly four years in the making. This game-changing cleanser joins the brand's two other beloved performance-driven and award-winning products, Active Treatment Essence and Active Botanical Serum—creating the most comprehensive and results-focused three-step routine for ultimate skin health and radiance. The brand's products sit atop every Best in Beauty list, including those from Elle, GQ, Town & County, Glamour, Byrdie, WWD, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Chalkboard Mag, Harper’s Bazaar, Shape, and others. April has been honored as an influential female founder by Fab Fit Fun and received a Female Founder Award from CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women). She is often asked to speak about her innovative contributions to beauty at culture-leading events like In Goop Health, WSJ Future of Everything Panel, Beauty X Summit, and WWD BeautyVest. She has been a popular guest on influential podcasts such as goop’s Beauty Closet, Second Life, and The Glossy Beauty Podcast to name a few.
 
With a deep belief in the power of better and fewer skincare products with multi-beneficial results to positively impact the skin and our world, April leads a business with a core commitment to sustainability and giving back. She led the brand to their recent B Corp certification–a designation awarded to a small list of companies around the world meeting the highest standards of social and environmental action. In addition, the company has always been Carbon Neutral, Platinum Green Certified, and certified cruelty-free through the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny Program. Since the brand’s inception, she has committed 2% of all revenue to charities benefiting women, children and the environment.
 
Never one to rest on her existing success, April remains passionate about sustainability, social impact, and promoting a positive and inclusive beauty ethos. She is never far from a pot of tea and marvels at the wisdom and elegance of nature. She resides in San Francisco and Napa Valley with husband and fellow entrepreneur, Mitch Lowe (also her CEO), and her two young daughters.
