Often times, people assume that the best part about being a cosmetics formulator must be getting to play with lots of amazing ingredients or the glam that comes with such job.

While those are both true, and AMAZING perks of this job, I’d have to say that my very favorite thing is hearing directly from buyers how one of the products I designed and formulated from the ground up made them feel truly beautiful because it help them recover their skin.

Thank you to all who take just a few minutes of their day to reach out and brighten ours. We appreciate you!

Did any of our products help recover your skin? Let us know which one is your hero in the comments.

Want to know the truth? This is the real reason why although we've been in business for 15 years, our social media footprint is so small.⁠
⁠
7 years ago I lost the love of my life, my 16 y/o special needs daughter, 2 months short of her 17th birthday. The shock, the anguish, the ravaging anger, the depression and the cascading effect of physically crippling emotions, left me, my family and inevitably my team here completely destroyed.⁠
⁠
We closed the doors temporarily and had to regroup, re-planned our strategy, and made the conscious decision to nurture the thousands of customers we already had and scale back on our social media reach, which came in handy when Instagram and Facebook collapsed not too long ago. ⁠
⁠
I wrote an article about it to explain our followers after a year of silence, what had happened back then — you can read it by visiting our link.in.bio. Me opening up on our blog brought closer many of our customers and readers, in silence suffering similar devastating life altering events.⁠
⁠
I’ve never shared this on social media before, much less here on IG, but today felt like the right time for whatever reason.⁠
⁠
What’s one thing you don’t often share, but wish people knew?⁠

I just wanted to remind everyone our #fathersdaysale is still going and there’s still time to get something for that wonderful dad of yours!

Perhaps dad works too hard and could use a relaxing Milk Salts Bath, or a tropically scented bath bomb, or maybe he needs something to tame that beard of his 🧔‍♂️ or he could use some clay masks to help his skin look even better!

So head over to our website (((link in bio))), add your favorites to your shopping bag ((minimum $100)) and use code FATHERSDAY for 15% off your entire order.
