"At Ceylon, our mission is to create accessible, easy-to-use
products, specifically formulated to help men of color achieve the
best possible skin."
After struggling with acne, razor bumps, hyper-pigmentation,
and other chronic skin problems, Patrick created Ceylon as a way to
give guys like him great skincare products suitable for
their basic needs. Years ago, Patrick moved to Mainland China for a
job working with the U.S. State Department. Due to the stressful
environment in a big, bustling city as well as the extensive air
and water pollution, Patrick had difficulty keeping his skin clear
and healthy. He experienced daily breakouts and routine
acne scarring. Despite trying hundreds of products, nothing seemed
to help clear up his skin. Patrick discovered that no products
specifically catered to men with melanin in their skin or with
different ethnic backgrounds. Worse yet, many products on the
market contained harmful substances that would bleach the skin or
leave it dry and unprotected from the elements. Frustrated with the
lack of options for men of color on the market, he set out to build
a company dedicated to providing the best possible skincare
products for men of color worldwide. Resource Ceylon
