Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Winter.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
It has not always been “The Gold & The Beautiful” for me – a Swedish native Hollywood Star, Writer, and Producer of the feature film, The Gold & The Beautiful, TV Star, the hit TV series-The Swedish Hollywood Wives and now the founder of NW Euroskin and our upcoming product launch of Stråla One by Strala Skincare.
I am a single mother who continues to hold true the American Dream through hard work and determination. With the mindset that there are never any real obstacles only challenges, I now enjoy the new venture I founded, Strala Skincare. I have developed Stråla One, the revolutionary all-in-one Swedish Rapid Rejuvenation Luxury skin cream to counteract and repair the effects of aging that TRULY Works!
I’m hoping to continue to bring it to success with my talented team and with my sons and partners, Cristofer and Alexander Winter.
People say I created the “impossible” – the American Dream. Maybe – I’ll let you be the judge of that.
As an immigrant, I left Sweden and came to America as an aspiring model and actress with a resolute passion to succeed. But it was not smooth sailing.
I was raised by a divorced, single mother. When I came to America, I spent years refining my abilities in acting classes and with speech coaches in hopes of conquering my dreams, but Hollywood still rejected me.
After two unsuccessful marriages, I was left alone to raise my two toddler sons in this foreign country by myself. With no financial support for myself or my children, I worked day and night at multiple jobs, while attempting to balance my jobs with being a Mother. Yet I never lost sight of my passion and goals. Whenever I had a moment to spare, I developed entrepreneurial projects.
My perseverance paid off raising my two sons, who are now caring, responsible, driven, well mannered, and highly respected young adults. Moreover, I developed a fine American accent, and never let the harsh criticisms are thrown around in the world of entertainment and its environment break me down. I continued to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams and developed a revolutionary skincare brand, Stråla Skincare.
Throughout the rough times and the busy schedules, I remained wholehearted and still found time to give to the less fortunate. I’m a great community and charity supporter and even founded Children’s After-School Programs (C.A.P.), a charity to help low-income single parents in my former situation by providing their children with funding to summer camps and other programs that offer a safe environment that they thankfully enjoy.
I’m all too aware of the challenges facing women in the entertainment and beauty industries. It’s been hard enough for me to be a woman, but add in being blonde, fit and single with a Swedish accent and the uphill battle to make people listen becomes only more difficult. Most men want to discuss business with men, but luckily, that mentality is changing. You need to embrace yourself and never let anybody stop you from reaching your goals.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
After fighting the battle of aging in Hollywood to get work once I turned 50, and like many others using invasive and sometimes harmful procedures I decided to take matters in my own hands by creating Stråla One: Swedish Rapid Rejuvenation Luxury Cream with Aktiv-8 Cellular KomplexTM.
For the past five seasons, I was starring on the international hit television documentary/reality show “SWEDISH HOLLYWOOD WIVES”. I left the show to focus on my skincare company and Stråla One the revolutionary all-in-one Swedish Rapid Rejuvenation Luxury Cream, to counteract and repair the effects of aging.
Now, after six years of extensive research with the best scientists and chemists around the world, STRÅLA ONE, the anti-aging miracle cream is ready for launch.

“STRÅLA ONE”
says Nicole Winter
(Stråla is Swedish for Radiate)
What should we know about STRÅLA ONE – Strala Skincare? What do you do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
While growing up in Sweden, I had the highest gratitude for the short-lived, but radiating sunlight each winter. My curiosity about the elements and natural beauty of my surroundings had me constantly exploring.
Years later as a medical student in Sweden, I learned the efficacy and significance of combining natural ingredients and scientific compounds to create something much more significant than either on its own – a philosophy that I believe in and still hold close to my heart in many facets of life. My passion for beauty brought me to the United States. Whether I was modeling or in front of the camera for films and TV, my skincare routine was always extremely important to ensure I was looking for my very best but was also always burdensome.
Over the past 6 years, I devoted myself to researching the latest science and formulation techniques to find a way to create an alternative to lengthy skincare routines, ineffective products, and invasive procedures that are commonplace in Hollywood. I worked with top chemists and skincare professionals around the world, while leveraging my understanding of Swedish natural skincare secrets, to develop a unique, revolutionary product that is simple to apply, with the highest quality of honest ingredients, and combines several products in my skincare routine, yet is also extremely effective at delivering fast, visible results that only get better with time. I achieved my goal, and this became the foundation of our Aktiv-8 Cellular KomplexTM and the Stråla One formulation.
“It’s a great deal of a juggle and it gets very intense, but I’m very lucky to have an amazingly talented team that takes a lot of the everyday burdens off my shoulders.
I will continue to pursue my goals to bring Stråla skincare to great success with a new burning passion inside of me and the ambition to prove all those that said I couldn’t, that I could, and that I will.
“I am very proud of, and excited to share STRÅLA ONE, my Swedish Rapid Rejuvenation Luxury Cream with our exclusive proprietary Aktiv-8 Cellulär KomplexTM, that considerably reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.”
Looking back on your childhood, what experiences do you feel played an important role in shaping the person you grew up to be?
“My goal is to inspire and empower people no matter who they are or where they are or coming from, to not give up their dreams. Simply put – if I can do it, you can do it too!”
My best advice: don’t sit back. Turn off your TV and phone and get involved in meetings, events, and organizations. Networking is still a great way to meet individuals with similar interests, to learn from and to make connections. Also, be proactive and don’t be afraid to talk to people.
NOTE to Agnes-Nicole by a UCLA Film School Intern;
“I had a great time and learned a great deal about the industry. The way you have handled yourself, and everything you’ve done. Being a single mother, and raising two great guys, one of whom I have grown to call my brother… from the way you have overcome your obstacles, and stood strong. The way in which you faced every anger with a smile and every no with a yes. I have come to see you no longer as just a celebrity but as a role model. Not someone to just recognize, but someone to highly respect.
And so, I thank you. I thank you for all that you have taught and for all that you have given. I thank you for how I’ve grown, for how I’ve learned, and I thank you for you.
You always say: ‘There are no problems. Only challenges.’
You have definitely given me a new outlook on film, and your ambitious perseverance has contagiously spread to me.
And so, I thank you for a fun quarter/internship!!!
