To me Being Radical means living a life that is full of passion and purpose with no excuses and no regrests while carrying the energy of kindness regardless. Feeling awake and alive through inspiring and empowering another and knowing that at the end of the day I didn’t forget the simple things that really matter.
Liz Edlich brings an extensive career in financial management, capital sourcing, product development, production and market strategy to her position at Radical Skincare.
Edlich’s cultivation of relationships with top investment managers and funds led her to become Managing Director of Heritage Asset Management, where she took the firm from $68 million to $500 million in assets under management during a three-year period before advising and brokering the sale of Heritage Asset Management to a third party. As a private investment banker and strategic business consultant, she was involved in numerous public and private business transactions. She has spent the last 15 years of her career in the Direct Marketing and skincare business at her company One World Live, developing over 100 products for celebrities and influencers. While at One World, Edlich focused on corporate strategy while managing product and company acquisitions, celebrity relations, commercial production and closely collaborating on product development and packaging.
Edlich’s career has also been defined by her commitment to giving back. Throughout her life, Edlich has volunteered her time and resources to advance important causes. From working with burn victims and developmentally disabled youths to children with facial deformities with Operation Smile in LA and in Africa; seeing her father through Multiple Sclerosis Rehab to working with the American Heart Association, Edlich has always been dedicated to making a difference in peoples’ lives.
To me Radical means living a life with intention, being kind and compassionate to myself and others, and being completely present in the moment with those around me. Taking a stand for something or someone to be that difference however big or small means I am on the right path for living a Radical life.

Distinguished Professor Emeritus Richard F. Edlich was a Ford Foundation Scholar who gained early admission to Lafayette College at age 15. Three years later, he was accepted as an early admission student to New York University School of Medicine, where he received his MD. During his eight-year surgical residency, Dr. Edlich also received his PhD becoming Distinguished Professor of Plastic Surgery and Professor of Biomedical Engineering.
During his years at Virginia, Dr. Edlich founded, designed, and served as director of the 16-bed University of Virginia Burn and Wound Healing Center. Collaborating with other doctors, their efforts resulted in numerous innovative products, surgical techniques, and tests used throughout the world. The Reinforced Steri-Strip™ 3MTM,Minneapolis, MN, has been used in more than a billion patients for wound closure. A surgical wound cleanser, poloxamer-188 (Shur-Clens™, ConvaTec), was devised to remove bacterial contaminants from the wound without tissue toxicity. This wound cleanser has successfully decontaminated wounds in more than ten million patients without a reported toxic reaction. A more concentrated solution of poloxamer-188 forms a gel that incorporates antibiotics for prevention of burn wound sepsis. The Argyle Edlich Gastric Lavage Kit has been used throughout the world to remove blood clots and poisons from patients’ stomachs. Endoscopic surgical gastrostomy was first devised by his team of physicians as a safe technique of tube feeding.
Dr. Edlich’s book, Medicine’s Deadly Dust, is a nationally acclaimed report documenting the life-threatening dangers of powders on surgical and examination gloves. On September 24, 2008, Dr. Edlich teamed up with eleven other gifted health professionals to submit a Citizen’s Petition to the Food and Drug Administration to ban cornstarch powder on medical gloves.
A specialist in research on the biology of wound repair and infection, he is a co-author in seven books and more than 4000 scientific articles and chapters on these subjects. In 2000, Dr. Edlich received the Harvey Stuart Allen Medal from the American Burn Association in recognition of his significant contributions to burn care. Dr. Edlich with the collaboration of others, championed the development of basic and advanced life-support training for physicians, emergency medical technicians, and paramedics; a telemetered medical system for emergency care; the rape crisis center; the crisis center for psychiatric emergencies; crisis center for the deaf,poison control center,and the Pegasus Flight.
Dr. Edlich has been battling MS for years and furthers research efforts to find a cure for himself and others.
