It was a moment of knowing businessmen are disconnected and are so identified with their 'better than', that they have lost their way as humans. 'There is a whole story that surrounds the time of my life when I lost my home and life savings, a cumulation of seeing patriarchy, misogyny and greed unfold before my very eyes. As of November 2016, now known as Sappho New Paradigm, her company bears a new name for a new era of business: one of true transparency, new standards in business from being women-led and where small actions make a world of a difference. It took everything she had to keep Sappho going - her personal investments and lifetime savings all went into the rebirth of her brand.

JoAnn was a trailblazer at the time, when she started researching ingredients in 2006, developing her first products, free of any known and many suspected toxins, carcinogens, hormone disruptors and silicone, over the course of two years and pioneering 'clean' cosmetics to her fellow pro artists.

Her journey truly began when one of the actresses asked that she only apply paraben-free products and a thorough search ensued, but none worked on camera. Sappho was founded in 2008, while Fowler was Head of the Makeup Dept. As a makeup artist in film and television for over 30 years, JoAnn has enjoyed professional recognition including an Emmy nomination and a Leo Award win. JoAnn Fowler is the Founder of SAPPHO New Paradigm.
