Community Highlights: Meet Thomas Fortenberry of Face and Junk

Today we’d like to introduce you to Thomas Fortenberry

Hi Thomas, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
The journey of Face and Junk began with a compelling vision: to transform men’s grooming by providing high-quality, effective products that cater to every facet of a man’s grooming routine. As someone deeply passionate about self-care, I recognized a significant gap in the market for products that truly address men’s unique grooming needs. Fueled by determination, I set out to create a brand that not only offered exceptional grooming solutions but also empowered men to feel confident and present their best selves every day.

With a focused vision, I dedicated over a year to researching and developing skincare, haircare, and grooming products. Drawing on this experience, I carefully crafted a range of items, from our refreshing Beard Oils to invigorating Ball Wash, styling Hair Pomade, and our charcoal-infused Body Bars. Each product is thoughtfully designed to enhance the grooming experience. By prioritizing top-quality ingredients and sustainable packaging, we promote a lifestyle centered around health and environmental responsibility. Our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation quickly struck a chord with customers, helping Face and Junk build a loyal community.

Today, we are excited to continue redefining men’s grooming, always aiming to deliver products that create a real impact in our customers’ lives.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting a men’s grooming line can be an exciting endeavor, but also comes with challenges.

As the grooming industry is highly competitive, it’s challenging to stand out and capture market share while creating high-quality products that cater to our target audience’s specific needs, which require extensive research and development.

I spent eight months creating and establishing a unique brand identity that resonates with consumers, including developing distinctive branding, packaging, and marketing strategies that set Face and Junk products apart from competitors.

To achieve success, effectively reaching and engaging our target audience through various marketing channels—such as social media, influencers, and traditional advertising—is an everyday activity.

Building and maintaining customer trust is vital for our long-term success. I accomplish this through transparency, high-quality products, and excellent customer service. Additionally, navigating the regulatory landscape for cosmetics and personal care products—including labeling, safety testing, and ingredient restrictions—can be challenging.
