Our Story
I'm an Austin-based mom who started creating skincare so that my family and my friends could have products that are healthy but also high performing, with no nasty ingredients or potential adverse effects on our health.
It all started about two years ago, when I was doing my nightly cleansing ritual and my 2 year old son went to put one of my many creams in his mouth. I immediately panicked and stopped him, telling him that it was poison and very dangerous - because instinctively I guess I knew that the product probably was poison for small kids. It then dawned on me that if it would make a child sick, I probably shouldn't be slathering it all over my face and body - our skin being our largest organ!
I began researching ingredients and learning about what was actually inside even so-called "clean" beauty, and was very shocked. I was in the process of trying to have another child, and wanted my skincare to support my own health and fertility journey. As I continued to learn more I became much more conscious about ingredients and the potential adverse effects of practically every product I had on my shelves!!
Since then, I have been creating creams, facial oils and serums that are supportive of women's health and that give my skin a chance to heal itself and actually glow - and not just because I'm stripping everything off with harsh chemicals! I only use vegan ingredients sourced carefully, and everything is made in small batches by hand.
I learned my skincare ritual from my mom who grew up in Japan, and who at over eighty still has skin that is somehow nicer than mine! Many of my products are inspired by products that she loves and has used religiously for years, but that are safely created to be supportive of health.
