From the sun-drenched vineyards of Napa Valley where she was raised to the busy streets of San Francisco she now calls home, April Gargiulo has mastered the art of intentional living. As the founder of Vintner’s Daughter – a cult-favorite skincare brand that counts Gwyneth Paltrow and Hailey Bieber as fans – she approaches her beauty business the same way her family approached winemaking: uncompromisingly. Each item in her hyper-curated product line takes weeks to produce, not hours.
'I move at the speed of quality,' says April. At home in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, this ethos extends beyond the bottles: Gargiulo surrounds herself only with items she loves and focuses on time with family. Between running a B Corp-certified business and raising two children, Gargiulo has discovered that meaningful rituals, from meditative morning moments to family dinners, aren’t just luxuries, but a necessary part of life.
