Why We Never Use Water In Our Products
Water itself is not bad; we need water, it sustains life. But, therein lies the problem. Where there is water, there can be life in the form of bad bacteria and harmful microbes. If there is even a drop of water in a product that is applied to the skin, a preservative MUST be used. It makes no difference whether that preservative is natural or synthetic, if the preservative is doing its job, it is killing bad stuff that can grow in the product . . . this is good. What is not good however, is the preservative will also kill the beneficial, good bacteria (flora) that live on our skin and protect our immune system. This can severely compromise our health. We must protect our skin flora, our microbiome, for our health and wellbeing.
We Believe In Simple Skincare
We believe simplicity is beautiful, and that you have the choice to bring it into your life. We also trust in nature, just as people have trusted in it for thousands of years. We believe that nature offers us the exquisite ability to soothe, heal, nourish, and beautify. We are obsessed with the simplicity and power of nature’s ingredients.
We Promise
Our highest priority will always be the well-being of our customers and our beautiful planet.
Our Current Obsession!


It sounds so counterintuitive, why would one clean with oil? Many of us use oil-based products on our skin such as foundation, blush, highlighter, eye makeup, and don’t forget sunscreen. These products can leave oily deposits that are hard to get off completely. The basic concept of this cleansing method is "like dissolves like". The oils in the cleanser will actually work into the pores to dissolve and lift out what has become trapped, as well as dissolve any sebum that has oxidized over time and become trapped. If not removed, this hardened sebum is what become blackheads. Some believe that oil cleansing is the most through way of getting the skin really clean. We have used a blend of plant oils that penetrate pores quickly and are known for their cleansing and nourishing properties.
▫️ Perfect for any skin type.
▫️ Comes in a 4 oz. pharmaceutical-grade, amber glass bottle.
