About Manumission Skin Care

Manumission Skin Care was founded to bridge the gap between what specialty grooming companies and mass market conglomerates were offering and the unmet skin care solutions that active, on-the-go men were seeking.

Based on discussions with hundreds of men (and women), consultations with skin care professionals and extensive testing in diverse and extreme conditions, Manumission Skin Care released five skin care products, a Body Bar, Body Wash, Shave Gel, Face Wash and Facial Moisturizer in the Spring of 2009.

As part of the sponsorship agreement, Manumission Skin Care branding and logos will be featured prominently on Ellingson’s Swift DB-1, Driving Suit and Race Trailer at all races and promotional events throughout the 2011 season. In addition, Ellingson has been appointed a Manumission Skin Care Brand Ambassador. As a Brand Ambassador, Ellingson, who personally uses Manumission Skin Care, will actively share and promote the benefits and value of using Manumission Skin Care Products.

After an exhaustive research and development process, Manumission Skin Care was released in the Spring of 2009 with five key skin care products for active men – a Body Bar, Body Wash, Shave Gel, Face Wash and Facial Moisturizer. The line was specifically formulated to bridge the gap between what specialty grooming companies and mass market conglomerates were offering and the basic skin care priorities that active, on-the-go men were seeking. In the time since launch, Manumission Skin Care has focused on providing performance based results to its users, rather than utilize traditional marketing “hype” to grow its customer base.

In announcing the sponsorship Ellingson said,"I am very excited to have Manumission Skin Care on board for the 2011 Season. In competitive racing events the demands placed upon our bodies and in particular our skin are intense. Manumission Skin Care has developed a remarkable line of men's skin care products that don't leave my skin feeling dried out in the heat of competition while thoroughly protecting it."

Manumission Skin Care sponsors other top extreme athletes including MMA fighters that include Anthony "The Assassin" Njokuani, Jamie Varner, Ricardo Romero and Thomas "Wildman" Denny. "It's cool to be included in that prestigious group and have the opportunity to introduce Manumission Skin Care to markets that will be very receptive to their products," added Ellingson.

"We're thrilled to have Brad as a member of the Manumission Skin Care Racing Team. Winning 3 Championships in his first 4 seasons perfectly exemplifies our tag line of 'Skin Care Products for Men Who Get It Done'. We are looking forward to big things from Brad in the 2011 Racing Season," said Dan Ostrower, President and Founder of Manumission Skin Care.

Ellingson Racing has raced at tracks in Wisconsin including Road America and The Milwaukee Mile, in Illinois at Blackhawk Farms Raceway and in Minnesota at Brainerd International Raceway. The Ellingson Racing/Manumission Skin Care Swift DB-1 race schedule is still being organized at this time, but look for Ellingson on the podium at each of their events this year.

 Manumission Skin Care for Men announced today it has signed mixed martial arts fighter Anthony “The Assassin” Njokuani to a sponsorship agreement. Njokuani will be fighting Edson Barboza at UFC 128 on March 19th at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. 

Through this sponsorship, the Manumission Skin Care logo will be prominently featured on his fight shorts and Octagon banner. In addition, Njokuani’s social media will publicize his partnership with Manumission Skin Care. Anthony personally uses Manumission Skin products for his every day grooming and skin care requirements and has recently turned his personal barber on to Manumission’s Skin Care products as well. 

Njokuani (14-4) will be making his first appearance in the Octagon since being signed into the UFC ranks after the WEC merger at the end of 2010.  In entering the Octagon, Njokuani looks to make a statement to UFC Matchmaker Joe Silva that he is a force to be reckoned with in the stacked lightweight division.  Njokuani also looks to build on the momentum from his TKO victory over Edward Faaloloto at WEC 52 in November. 

“As the manager of many top rated Mixed Martial Artists, it is critical to not only look after their training, diet and finances, but also their skin,” said Oren Hodak, President of KnockOut Representation. “Our athletes’ intense training schedules in diverse environments and conditions places significant abuse upon their skin.
