Our story
My handmaking journey began in 2019. I started making skincare products for myself because I have extremely dry and sensitive skin. I had always struggled to find products that didn’t irritate my skin, so I decided to make my own. I started with soaps, and then I moved on to lip balms, balms, and body butters. I loved how gentle and effective my handmade products were. They didn’t dry out my skin, and they actually helped to improve my skin condition. I’ve been using my handmade products for years, and my skin has never been better. Now, I want to share my creations with others. I want to help people with sensitive skin find products that work for them.
We believe that everyone deserves to have healthy, beautiful skin. That’s why we’re passionate about creating handmade skincare products that are safe, effective, and gentle. We hope you’ll try our products and see the difference for yourself.
