Our Mission

Perio’s main objective in doing business is customer satisfaction. This focus on customer service, combined with a sincere commitment to the values of quality and trust, create a second objective of company value.

Perio wants all stakeholders to sense an intrinsic value within the Company based upon this commitment to service, along with our resolve to sell and produce only the highest quality products, and the development of trust through a willingness to refuse short-term opportunities which threaten our integrity and long-term success.

Additionally, employee fulfillment is critical both to the Company’s success and to each individual’s personal success. Perio wants to provide all employees with a job and a company of which they can be most proud.

In conclusion, Perio expects to receive a healthy profit as long as it adheres to these major objectives. We believe that we are merely temporary stewards and that the resources of the Company belong to God. As such, our main vision is to support charitable organizations, specifically those focused upon children.


Our Story

Perio comes from a line of dental product companies, the first of which was founded in 1903.

By the end of the century, the company had identified significant opportunities within the rapidly growing shave prep and hair removal industries, and subsequently refocused the business to capitalize on the potential.

In 2001, Perio acquired the historic, American-made Barbasol brand, and complimentary women’s shave prep brand, Pure Silk. Since then, the company has implemented a thoughtful strategy, utilizing product development, promotion and advertising support to elevate both brands. Today, Barbasol and Pure Silk are America’s number one men’s and women’s shaving cream brands and have recently launched a new line of premium disposable razors.
