Our Story Skincare has always been deeply personal for me. As a herbalist with a background in the medical field and studies in biochemistry, I spent years searching for products that would truly support sensitive skin conditions affecting my own family — including eczema, psoriasis, skin sensitivities, and immune-related challenges. As a mother of six, I understand firsthand the frustration of purchasing products marketed as “natural” or “safe,” only to discover ingredients that can still irritate delicate skin and disrupt overall health. My passion for healing began long before my formal education. Coming from Indigenous Filipino roots, I was raised learning the importance of traditional plant medicine and ancestral healing practices. Precolonial Filipinos relied heavily on herbal remedies passed down through albularyos, or traditional healers, using botanicals, medicinal oils, animal fats, and tallow to create salves, soaps, and healing skin treatments. That ancient wisdom continues to inspire everything I create today. I grew up learning how to make medicinal remedies from a young age, and it became my mission to preserve those traditional methods while combining them with modern biochemistry, formulation science, and Western skincare techniques. I wanted to create products intentionally — not simply whipped oils labeled as “luxury skincare,” but thoughtfully formulated creams, salves, shampoos, and body care designed with the skin barrier in mind. Understanding the science behind ingredients matters. Many people don’t realize that improperly formulated tallow products can oxidize more quickly when excessive air is incorporated, and overly heavy concentrations may clog pores or sit improperly on the skin. That’s why I spent years studying infusion methods, formulation ratios, herbal extraction, and skin barrier support to create what we now call our signature French creams and therapeutic salves — blends designed to absorb beautifully into the skin while nourishing and restoring it. Every ingredient is chosen with intention. From herbal skincare and botanical salves to magnesium sprays, arnica and comfrey blends, women’s wellness products, herbal teas, laundry detergents, and dish soaps for sensitive households — our goal has always been to create non-toxic, effective products families can trust. This brand was built from generations of herbal knowledge, years of scientific study, and a mother’s determination to create better options for her children and others struggling with sensitive skin and wellness concerns. Healing should be intentional, rooted in tradition, supported by science, and safe enough for the people we love most. That is the heart behind everything we make.
