Our formulas were originally developed for our own children, including a baby with severe eczema patches from six months old. We formulate without harsh essential oils or heavy fragrance specifically so our products are gentle enough for young, sensitive skin. As with any new product, we recommend a patch test before full use, especially on broken or actively inflamed skin.

Our formulas are designed with sensitive and compromised skin in mind. We deliberately avoid high-potency essential oils and fragrance loads that can sting or irritate open skin. That said, always patch test first, and if skin is severely broken or infected, check with a doctor or dermatologist before applying any new product.

Many natural brands focus only on removing synthetic ingredients. We go a step further: our founder’s background in pharmaceutical formulation, combined with study in homeopathy and herbalism, means every formula is built around skin balance — not just “natural” for its own sake. We also avoid over-formulating with strong essential oils, which can be just as
irritating as synthetics.

No petrochemicals, no silicones, no harsh essential oil blends, and no heavy synthetic
fragrance.

Essential oils, while natural, can be highly concentrated and irritating — especially foreczema-prone or broken skin. We formulate for balance rather than intensity, which meansskipping ingredients that smell nice but can compromise the skin barrier.

This varies by skin type and condition. Many customers report visible improvement within a few weeks of consistent use, though results depend on the severity of the skin concern. We recommend patience and consistency, as skin barrier repair takes time.

No. All testing has been done on real skin within our own family and trusted customers, never on animals.

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Always patch test on a small area of skin before full application, particularly if you have known sensitivities.
