There's nothing like a beautiful friendship to light up a room—and when Beautéderm President and CEO Rei Anicoche Tan and actress Maja Salvador walked into their contract renewal ceremony at Solaire Resort North, the glow wasn't just from their Blanc skincare sets.

The intimate signing doubled as a celebration of Women's Month, and the atmosphere was unmistakably warm — floral arches framing the two women who've shared four years of endorsement and evolving camaraderie.

Maja — radiant in a structured golden top and crisp white trousers — did more than just smile for the cameras. She laughed, leaned in for stories, and spoke openly about how much motherhood has changed her.

"It really changed my priorities in life. And whenever I have to make a decision, I just look at Maria. Even though she can't answer yet, just looking at her gives me the answers I need," she shared, referring to her firstborn.

Still, she's not in a rush to make decisions, particularly regarding her return to show business.

The two women have shared four years of endorsement and evolving camaraderie. They maintain that their partnership is not transactional.

"Of course I miss work, but I also dreamt of becoming a mommy and it was given to me, so I'm not really in a rush to make a comeback."It was a tone that fit the moment — a reflection not just of career achievements or contract milestones, but of deeper transformations and personal growth.

Rei, in turn, matched the mood with her own brand of sincerity and strength. "I used to have that 'forever' mindset when it comes to ambassadors," she admitted with a laugh. "But now, I say I'm also empowered. I've learned to set standards and let go when needed."

But not with Maja.

"I love her so much and I am so proud of her," Rei said, her voice softening. "She's a blessing, not just as an endorser but also as a friend."

She went on to recount how Maja once surprised her on her birthday — something she usually dreads. "It was the first time an artist has surprised me. That's when I truly saw how much she loves me."

Rei's admiration for her Blanc endorser — now in her second year using the set — was echoed with beauty talk and banter. "Confidence is different when you're glowing," she mused. "Especially now that Maja's also a mother, we can't afford to neglect ourselves."

Beautéderm's Blanc Set remains one of its top sellers, especially among women looking to prevent acne and reduce hyperpigmentation, inflammation and fine lines. Maja represents the product with authenticity — and with the kind of transformation that makes beauty feel purposeful.

These two women's partnership, they both declared, is not transactional despite this business side of things.

"I always tell her, she's a blessing in our lives," Rei added. "Not only because of a signed contract, but because she's genuine. You pray for friendships like this."

With Women's Month as the backdrop, both Maja and Rei took a moment to reflect on the female figures who've shaped them. For Rei, it's her mother. "Whoever I am today, is because of her. My mom who taught me everything — values and wisdom."

Maja, too, was quick to give credit to her own. "I've always admired my mom," she said, becoming emotional. "But when I became a mother myself, I loved her even more."

The event ended not with a big reveal or major launch — but with sincerity, mutual respect, and a quiet promise of continuity. After all, in a business that's ever-changing, some partnerships still glow through the years.
