The Founder
My ardent desire is to make women feel radiant and confident. I believe that when women are empowered, they have the strength to conquer any feat. This lesson was one that I learned through experience as I embarked on my pursuit of a successful career - the importance of taking time for self-care and nourishment in order to keep a healthy balance. Thus, while working full-time as a photographer, I started crafting hair and skincare products, which were shared among family and friends before being put up for sale at local craft fairs. Encouraged by the overwhelming response in 2007, I made the decision to expand my product line and began venturing into online sales.
Investigating new, unique ingredients from around the globe and the advantages it has for skin and hair is a passion of mine. As an artist, my goal is to bring out all senses in my creations - not only should the product be efficient, but I relish in incorporating luxuriant textures and invigorating aromas into each item. For spring and summertime, I take pleasure in infusing oils with organic blossoms and herbs such as calendula, jasmine, nettle, chamomile and rose.
My aspiration is to formulate natural ingredient based products, yet I'm not a purist. Firmly established guidelines constrict the amounts and methods of fragrances in my items. Fragrances are exclusively employed at concentrations and conditions revealed to be safe through safety data sheets supplied by ingredient manufacturers. My offerings vary between 90% and 100% naturally derived ingredients.
I have completely forsaken paraben preservatives in all my formulations. All ingredients and products are guaranteed to be cruelty-free, with neither finished products nor their component parts being tested on animals.
I utilize recycled materials for packaging and shipping items in an environmentally responsible manner.
