At Boom Beauty, we believe that aging isn't something to hide, fight, or fix—it’s something to celebrate. In our latest video collaboration, wellness pioneer and The Healthy Deviant author Pilar Gerasimo shares a heartfelt reflection on transparency, aging, and redefining beauty—inspired by the legacy of Boom founder Cindy Joseph and the powerful philosophy she championed: Pro-Age.
What Does Transparency Really Mean?
For Pilar, transparency is more than just a skincare or cosmetic trait—it’s a way of being. It’s about honesty, clarity, and the courage to be seen just as we are.
Whether it’s a clear, nourishing product like Boomstick Glo—or a moment of self-reflection in the mirror, transparency invites us to show up for ourselves and each other without shame or apology.
The Pro-Age Philosophy: A Beautiful Rebellion
Boom Beauty was founded to challenge an outdated, ageist idea—that growing older is something to resist. Cindy Joseph turned that notion on its head, creating a brand and movement that say: aging is living, and living is beautiful.
Pilar echoes this in her own wellness philosophy, Healthy Deviance, which encourages people to reject toxic norms and embrace choices that support their well-being—including how they see and present themselves.
Redefining Beauty Routines with Intention
In the video, Pilar shares her love for Boomstick Glo—a versatile moisturizing balm that highlights and hydrates without concealing. It represents skincare with purpose, designed not to cover flaws but to enhance natural features. She talks about using it on lips, brows, shoulders—wherever you want a little moisturized luminosity, without glitter or fuss.
And while she acknowledges that everyone has their own comfort zones and routines, Pilar encourages us to explore why we do what we do. Is it from fear or joy? Pressure or empowerment?
There’s No One Way to Age
Pilar also touches on the many paths people take with aging—from going totally natural to exploring aesthetic treatments—and affirms that there’s no right or wrong.
What matters is intention, honesty, and self-compassion. You might choose one path at 30 and another at 60. The key is choosing your way, unapologetically, not letting society choose it for you.

In the video, Pilar shares her love for Boomstick Glo—not just for its subtle, hydrating properties, but for what it represents. It’s skincare with purpose, designed not to cover flaws but to enhance natural features. She talks about using it on lips, brows, shoulders—wherever you want a little moisturized luminosity, without glitter or fuss.
