Where it all started...
It all started during the height of the pandemic in 2020; we began seeking natural supplements to strengthen our immune systems and protect us from the dreaded illness. Eventually, we came across the well-known herbalist Dr. Sebi who endlessly preached about the health benefits of sea moss, a seaweed like plant that grew in the shallows of the ocean.

After trying it for the first time it completely changed our lives for the better. Not only did it strengthen our immune system, but it also helped with our gut health, energy levels and overall physical appearance. Best of all it encouraged us to embark on a journey towards holistic self-healing.
Consuming sea moss sparked a burning desire within me to seek other natural solutions for concerns like my own skin, hair and overall bodily issues. As a sensitive, acne-prone skin girly, it was clear to me that a lot of my skin issues were due to an overuse of chemical ingredients placed inside of most big brand products. Which in turn caused me to be very selective on the products and ingredients that I used internally as well as topically.
I initially started by crafting my own handmade face soap. After endless amounts of research and a few failed batches I had finally created the perfect all-natural soap and began using it on my own face. Immediately after using it, I saw improvements to my overly sensitized skin. It felt clean but very moisturized at the same time, not overly dry. My acne also became less and less frequent after a few uses. To this day I use my face soap daily at night. It has become a STAPLE in my skin care routine.
I soon came to the realization that the products I was creating were truly healing me from the inside out. Which further fueled my curiosity for more ancient knowledge on the medicinal use of plants and herbs. As I started selling to friends and family, I immediately received large amounts of positive feedback. It felt good making a difference in the lives of others.
I knew in that moment I wanted to dedicate myself to creating plant- based products that ultimately healed our bodily issues without any reoccurring side effects. Although I still have a long way to go, I have a deep knowing that this is the best way I can positively contribute to the collective at large.
So, thank you in advance for your support and truly hope my products can make a positive difference in your life as well.
