About Curran Dandurand
Curran Dandurand is an American skincare entrepreneur and co-founder of the premium grooming brand Jack Black, one of the most successful men’s skincare companies in the United States. She founded the company in 2000 in Dallas, Texas, alongside Jeff Dandurand and Emily Dalton, with a vision to create simple, effective, high-quality skincare products specifically designed for men.
Before launching Jack Black, Curran spent 17 years at Mary Kay Cosmetics, where she served in executive leadership roles, including executive vice president of global marketing. Her experience in branding and product development gave her deep insight into consumer needs and helped her identify a major gap in the men’s grooming market.
Under her leadership, Jack Black grew from a small startup into a globally recognized skincare brand, offering products for skin care, shaving, hair care, and grooming. The brand became widely available through major retailers such as Nordstrom, Sephora, and Amazon, and eventually expanded internationally.
Curran served as CEO and played a key role in building the company’s reputation for quality, innovation, and simplicity. Her focus on fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, and cruelty-free formulas helped establish Jack Black as a trusted name in premium skincare.
The company was later acquired by Edgewell Personal Care in 2018, further expanding its global reach and reinforcing the success of the brand she helped build.
