As a fashion model she appeared on more than three hundred magazine covers including Italian Vogue, Italian Harper’s Bazaar, and in several international Cosmopolitan magazines. She walked the runway for designers including Ralph Lauren and Valentino. Her successful modeling career enabled her to travel extensively throughout Africa, Europe, Australia, Asia and North and South America. During her travels, Gallagher developed a passion for different cultures, which inspired her to research indigenous beauty and wellness regimes and secrets from women around the world.

She has collected recipes from spas including the Banyan Tree Spa in the Maldives and the Overwater Spa at Kamalame Cay in the Bahamas and re-created them into simple do-it-yourself recipes using natural ingredients. Her recipes have been featured in magazines including, Woman’s Day, Health (magazine), Fitness Magazine, Shape Magazine and the Chicago Tribune.

Dawn Gallagher was the founder of Borneo Basics, a line of bath and body products created from natural, renewable resources from the rainforest. With a passion to preserve the global environment, particularly rainforests, she became an active member of Conservation International in Washington. Her status as a beauty and cosmetics authority enabled her to express her concerns on rainforest preservation resulting in her own personal care line. Portions of Borneo Basics’ proceeds were donated to Conservation International. She sold the company in 2000.
