History
SkinWhite was introduced by Splash Corporation, a Philippine beauty company founded in 1985 by entrepreneur Rolando Hortaleza. Splash began as a small local manufacturer before growing into one of the country’s largest personal care companies.
During the 2000s, SkinWhite became one of Splash’s flagship brands by focusing on affordable skin-brightening products for everyday use. The brand expanded from whitening lotions into soaps, facial creams, powder creams, facial cleansers, and other skincare products.
In later years, Splash Corporation became part of Wipro Consumer Care, allowing SkinWhite to benefit from wider manufacturing and international distribution while remaining one of the company’s leading Philippine brands.
