Stenu Robinson, President and Owner at Spectrum Cosmetics Labs Inc., has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Business Owners for dedication, achievements, and leadership in Skincare and Cosmetics.
Mr. Robinson has established a distinguished career in the cosmetics industry, marked by nearly four decades of leadership and innovation. Since 1987, he has served as the president and owner of Spectrum Cosmetics Labs Inc., a company based in the Bronx, New York. Under his direction, the business has become recognized for its specialized product lines and commitment to quality. Mr. Robinson’s expertise in skincare products, formula creation and overall formula management has positioned him as a respected authority in the field.
Spectrum Cosmetics Labs Inc. is minority-certified by both New York City and New York State, reflecting a commitment to diversity and inclusion within the industry. The company distributes its products to beauty supply stores and exports internationally, supported by a dedicated team of approximately five employees.
Throughout his tenure at Spectrum Cosmetics Labs Inc., Mr. Robinson has focused on developing targeted solutions for diverse cosmetic needs. He is particularly proud of the Dandruff Eeze line, which addresses scalp conditions with notable efficacy. The company also produces liver spot removal creams and treatments for tropical fungal infections commonly contracted at beaches. These offerings have garnered appreciation from private-label companies that value the wide range of products available. While the company does not hold patents, it maintains several trademarks that protect its unique formulations.
Before launching his skincare and cosmetics company, Mr. Robinson accumulated about 15 years of experience working with private cosmetic companies that specialized in single-product lines, including Your Name Cosmetics (aka Black Opal). During this period, he honed his skills through hands-on work and supplemented his knowledge with specialized cosmetics courses. Mr. Robinson’s early career included formulating eye shadow, mascara, lip gloss, creams and lotions for employers. He later played a pivotal role in establishing a makeup department at a Manhattan-based company before deciding to launch his own enterprise.
In addition to his primary business pursuits, Mr. Robinson has been involved in real estate ventures. This opportunity has allowed him to further diversify his professional portfolio and engage in a field in which he draws tremendous satisfaction.
Mr. Robinson’s educational background includes an associate degree from LaGuardia College in New York City. He is also certified as a minority business enterprise, credentials that have supported his entrepreneurial endeavors. Mr. Robinson’s contributions to the cosmetics industry are underscored by active memberships in the American Cosmetic Manufacturers Association and the Independent Manufacturing Cosmetic Association. These affiliations reflect his ongoing engagement with industry standards and best practices.
The foundation for Mr. Robinson’s success was laid during his formative years in Jamaica, where he participated in cadet training throughout high school under the guidance of a principal who was responsible for training soldiers nationally. This experience instilled discipline and resilience, qualities that have been instrumental throughout Mr. Robinson’s career. His cousin, a professor and chemist at a college in Jamaica, also provided early mentorship that sparked his interest in chemistry and cosmetics.
For his contributions to the real estate sector, Mr. Robinson received a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development certificate in New Jersey approximately one year ago. He credits this success and the success of his tenure in cosmetics to several factors, including Nikos Moiris, president of Black Opal, whose leadership became a model for Mr. Robinson’s own aspirations. He also notes the tremendous hard work he has put in and the tangible impact his products have had on customers’ lives, many of whom rely on these solutions for their well-being or through private-label partnerships.
Mr. Robinson finds particular fulfillment in the praise he receives from customers, considering their satisfaction among the most rewarding aspects of his profession. Guided by the motto that honesty is the best policy, he remains focused on maintaining the achievements he has built over nearly four decades rather than making long-term projections about the future. Mr. Robinson’s career stands as an example of dedication to quality, customer satisfaction, and principled leadership within the cosmetics industry and beyond.
