Byoma tapped Tara Loftis as global president and chief brand officer. 

A senior beauty and skincare executive, Loftis brings decades of experience to the role. Most recently, she served as global president of dermatological skincare at Galderma, where she oversaw global innovation and commercial strategy across a multi-brand dermatological skincare portfolio.

“I’m honored to help lead Byoma on its journey to become the leading dermatological skincare brand for the next generation and beyond,” said Loftis, “Byoma has earned fierce loyalty through co-creation with the brand’s community, paired with an uncompromising commitment to clinically proven, barrier-first innovation and the belief that dermatological leadership is earned through proof, education, and trust. I’m excited to help scale that momentum globally by expanding how we reach consumers while continuing to raise the bar on science, advocacy and skin health.”
