With the beauty market rapidly expanding at a nealy 6% rate, brands and businesses need to stay relevant. NatureGloom is largely governed and led by innovation, which is one of the key factors that has allowed the company to enjoy a growing fan base and amazing reviews. The Canadian brand invests a lot of time and energy into understanding what its customers want and how their products can serve them better.

“We take all of the feedback that we get to our labs and this is how we develop our products. We have a very diverse range of customers; from teenagers to 65-year-olds, we cater to thousands of people, and all of their opinions matter,” the NatureGloom team shares.

Customers can hardly wait for every next product drop, and the NatureGloom lotion has become a hit. It focuses on purifying skin and making it look radiant. “The idea with our lotion is to help unclog pores and remedy dull skin. The world is hectic and there are all sorts of pollutants out there that we can’t control. So the lotion is something of a secret ally to have with you,” a member of the team explains. When it comes to battling pollution, NatureGloom doesn’t just stop at its product line, though. The company is deeply committed to giving back and supporting the environment.

“If we want to have a healthy lifestyle, we need to take care of the space we occupy. This is why we make sure to only use organic ingredients and packaging. We want to be a part of the solution, not the problem,” the team comments.

NatureGloom’s products are available online via eBay, Amazon, and beauty retailers, and they’re also in a number of physical stores across Canada. The brand is quickly growing, thanks both to the glowing customer reviews and to its origins. “We are fortunate to have amazing support from our owner company, TripleOne,” a member of the team says. TripleOne is a massively successful decentralized company, where users from all across the globe and from all walks of life come together to make joint decisions on which businesses to invest in and how to best innovate and develop their products and services.

The next product drop is the highly-anticipated pre-Christmas release. Fans are looking forward to being able to shop for the new NatureGloom beauty products before the holidays and gift them to their families and friends. When it comes to beauty, NatureGloom believes that it radiates from the inside out and is not at all dependent on age, and customers are eager to share those ideals with others. “We have customers from every age group imaginable, starting with 18-year-old teenagers to 65-year-old adults. There really is no boundary when it comes to wanting to look and feel your best, and this is why we cater to such a versatile market,” a member of the team explains. One such example of a universally-loved product is the NatureGloom lotion, which purifies skin and gives it the coveted radiance that everyone is after, but it’s hardly the only sought-after product. There are many exciting products expected to debut soon and the brand’s 50,000 followers can hardly wait.

Why Derik Fay Is Becoming a Case Study in Long-Haul Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship today is often framed in extremes — overnight exits or public flameouts. But a small cohort of operators is being studied for something far less viral: consistency. Among them, Derik Fay has quietly surfaced as a long-term figure whose name appears frequently across sectors, interviews, and editorial mentions — yet whose personal visibility remains relatively limited.

Fay’s career spans more than 20 years and includes work in private investment, business operations, and emerging entertainment ventures. Though many of his companies are not household names, the volume and duration of his activity have made him a subject of interest among business media outlets and founders who study entrepreneurial longevity over fame.

He was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1978, and while much of his early career remains undocumented publicly, recent profiles including recurring features in Forbes — have chronicled his current portfolio and leadership methods. These accounts often emphasize his pattern of working behind the scenes, embedding within businesses rather than leading from a distance. His style is often described by peers as “operational first, media last.”

Fay has also become recognizable for his consistency in leadership approach: focus on internal systems, low public profile, and long-term strategy over short-term visibility. At 46 years old, his posture in business remains one of longevity rather than disruption a contrast to many of the more heavily publicized entrepreneurs of the post-2010 era.

While Fay has never publicly confirmed his net worth, independent analysis based on documented real estate holdings, corporate exits, and investment activity suggests a conservative floor of $100 million, with several credible indicators placing the figure at well over $250 million. The exact number may remain private but the scale is increasingly difficult to overlook.

He is also involved in creative sectors, including film and media, and maintains a presence on social platforms, though not at the scale or tone of many personal-brand-driven CEOs. He lives with his long-term partner, Shandra Phillips, and is the father of two daughters — both occasionally referenced in interviews, though rarely centered.

While not an outspoken figure, Fay’s work continues to gain media attention. The reason may lie in the contrast he presents: in a climate of rapid rises and equally rapid burnout, his profile reflects something less dramatic but increasingly valuable — steadiness.

There are no viral speeches. No Twitter threads drawing blueprints. Just a track record that’s building its own momentum over time.

Whether that style becomes the norm for the next wave of founders is unknown. But it does offer something more enduring than buzz: a model of entrepreneurship where attention isn’t the currency — results are.
