Clinton Howard

Over the last 50 years, Clinton has left a civic and business legacy that has touched lives around the world. In the 1960s, he founded American Biomedical Corporation, which grew to become one of the nation’s largest medical laboratory chains. In 1974, he founded Carrington Laboratories Inc., a firm dedicated to incorporating Aloe vera extract into personal care products. While with Carrington, Clinton assembled a team of researchers to determine what it was about Aloe vera that gave the plant its legendary health benefits. After five years and $20 million in research, the team isolated the plant’s most-active polysaccharide—acemannan. In 1991 he founded RBC Life Sciences as the venue through which to create the best, science-based nutritional supplements and skin care products on the market.
