WHY WE STARTED SERVING SENSITIVE SKIN

The product formulator (mom) has highly reactive skin and is overall a sensitive being. She is a long-time herb nerd trained in esthetics and clinical massage. 

Back in her esthetics class, there was only one fancy, big-name brand used for every single part of every single service. It was as if they sponsored the class. 

Students regularly practiced on each other. One day, an exfoliating product was used on her, and her face started getting HOT. At first she didn’t know it wasn’t normal, and thought the heat meant it was doing “something”. 

The thing was, no one else in class experienced that heat, and a classmate told her she looked like a tomato! Her memory is fuzzy here, but she believe a bunch of other students agreed 😆😆😆.The heat and oh-so-flattering tomato face look remained for hours.

Over time, it became more and more clear that there are many others out there who would have also been in the tomato-face club if they were in that class with me, and we require a gentler approach.

If you’re looking for gentle body care designed to work with rather than against your body, or low-waste gifts that make people happy, please check out the links below which take you directly to different pages in our shop.

Thanks for stopping by to learn more about us.
