BRONXVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The F.C. Sturtevant Company, America's first skin care company, announced that skincare industry veteran Scott Friedman has been named Vice President of the Professional Skincare Division. Friedman will be leveraging his 20 plus years of industry experience to support F.C.
