Model Citizen: Lindy Snider
Who: Bryn Mawr mom, entrepreneur, and daughter of Flyers/Sixers owner Ed Snider. After seeing the harsh skin effects of radiation and chemotherapy on friends (including singer/songwriter Lauren Hart), Snider founded Lindi Skin — a line of skin-care products specifically formulated for cancer patients.
What's new: Today, half of Lindi’s customers are non-patients who appreciate the line’s antioxidant and anti-aging ingredients.
How her products wound up in most major hospitals: “There’s nothing else like them on the market. You don’t lose your humanity when you get diagnosed — it’s still important to feel good about yourself.”
Her personal style: Casual and functional. “This job makes me realize what’s really important. I detest clothes-shopping.”
Proof she's as bold in her free time as she is in business: Snider loves camping and fly-fishing. “I want to be the first Jewish cowgirl!”

Why does Lindi Skin contain fragrances?
Fragrance is one of the key decisions to be made when creating any skincare products, and our team of doctors, formulators and skincare experts created our formulas with very explicit instructions to design the products without any unnecessary fragrances, dyes, or ingredients.
However, the key word here is “unnecessary”.
