Our Story

My skin care journey began when I had my baby girl Olivia. As a new Dad there was much to learn and adjust to in my new life as protector and provider. Olivia’s health and wellness were my priority. My daughter was born with highly sensitive skin. As an infant she would continuously scratch her skin due to the itching and irritation. I tried over-the-counter creams and skin moisturizers claiming to help children with skin issues but (however) they never seemed to work for her. I took her to pediatricians who prescribed medicated topical creams which seldom worked and often made her skin appear dull and dry. At times she would scratch to the point of bleeding. I became distraught.

One day out of frustration I looked on the back of the doctor prescribed cream and I realized that out of the thirty plus ingredients in the product, I could only identify and recognize one, which was water.

That prompted me to research each ingredient on the label. I found that most of their ingredients, with the exception of water, were synthetic non-plant based chemicals. I also discovered that several of the chemicals were proven to be harmful to humans. At first it was hard to believe what I had just stumbled onto, however after I began to dig deeper I realized that harmful chemicals were/ are prominent in many skin care brands aimed at our children. I made the decision then that I would find a way to help soothe my baby’s skin in the healthiest way possible.

I began researching natural and organic ways to care for tender skin. I also spoke with experts specializing in all natural remedies for soothing dry, sensitive skin. I poured over science articles, case studies and organic skincare blogs; watched countless videos and spoke with other parents of young children who were experiencing similar issues with their children. My goal was to find a natural, healthy remedy for my daughter’s skin discomfort..

My kitchen became my laboratory

I began blending and fusing together raw/natural organic ingredients of the highest quality that I sourced both locally and abroad. I tested each(skin) (moisturizer) recipe on my own skin and after I saw healthy (improved) improvements/ results in my skin’s appearance I introduced it to (Olivia’s) (my daughter’s) skin.

I prayed and remained faithful that the ingredients that I put together would work on Olivia’s skin. After every (each) bath I gave her I would rub the natural moisturizing cream between the palms of my hands and gently massage it into her skin, covering her entire body including her face. Additionally, I focused on the areas of her body that were more prone to dryness and irritation and slowly and soothingly rubbed the cream into her skin.

My hopes and prayers were answered in a short period of time. I was elated and relieved to see my daughter’s skin begin to be much less irritated and eventually irritation free. She had a healthy glow and she was a happier baby. No more itching and no more scratching. I was grateful to God for guiding me through that challenging time as a Dad. My child’s comfort meant and means the world to me.

I began to share what I made with my family and friends, requesting their feedback. They too experienced positive results and encouraged me to consider going into business. After learning more about skin issues facing many of our children, in addition to the confusion and frustration many parents feel while navigating those challenges, I decided to offer our moisturizing cream to the larger community.
