Our Story

I didn't start Green + Beauty in a lab — I started it on my own skin.

I'm Madeleine — founder of Green + Beauty, botany nerd, and someone who got tired of skincare that just didn't work.

While studying botany at UTSA and teaching it to other students, I was quietly struggling with my own skin. I tried everything. Nothing worked. So I did what any plant science student would do — I went back to the source.

Using what I knew about plant compounds — jojoba, tamanu, essential oils — I formulated my own acne-clearing serum from scratch. It cleared my skin. And it changed everything.

That serum became Green + Beauty. Today, every product I create — from serums to perfumes — is built on the same foundation: real botanical science, real ingredients, and a founder who uses everything she makes.

If it works for me, I trust it enough to share it with you.

Acne Clearing Spot Treatment - Green + Beauty Skincare
Acne Clearing Spot Treatment

Take Care of Your Skin with 100% Natural Power

Clear skin shouldn't require a chemistry degree or a cabinet full of harsh ingredients. I know, because I spent years trying both.

When I developed my Acne Clearing Spot Treatment, I went back to what I know best — plants. Every ingredient in this formula was chosen by me, intentionally, because botanical science taught me that nature already has the answers. This treatment is precision-targeted to go after blemishes and acne spots directly, calming inflammation and restoring balance without stripping your skin or overwhelming it.

This isn't a product I made to sell. It's the product I made for myself — and decided to share when it worked.

Plant-powered. Founder-tested. Made for real skin.

Frequently asked questions

Serums are used daily either in place of, or right before your moisturizer. Serums are less thick than treatments. Treatments are more potent and can be used on a small area as a spot treatment or a 1-2X weekly mask.

Being acne safe is only one of the benefits of my unique formula. If you don't have acne you can still gain the immense benefits of my serums and other products. All formulas are rich in antioxidants and can help you with your unique skin concerns. My skincare line is for everyone. Acne, no acne? We have you covered.

I would recommend getting a skincare set! Skincare sets are a great way to explore the options my brand has to offer. These mini's are great for on the go!

For oily acne prone skin the strongest product we offer is going to be the Acne Clearing Spot Treatment. Be cautionary as skincare is not a one size fits all. If you have dry or sensitive skin and you have not used my products before I would go with a Serum first, helping sensitive skin while nourishing and keeping acne at bay.

Try one of my serums first. Or discover both and compare for yourself with one of my skincare bundles. For sensitive skin I would highly recommend my Skin Savior Prickly Pear Nourishing Treatment.

Yes! How does my formula do this? Our skin has sensors that regulate sebum production based on its current state. When many skincare products excessively dry out your skin, these sensors send signals to produce more sebum in an attempt to rehydrate the skin. This can lead to an overproduction of oil, exacerbating acne and other skin issues.

Green + Beauty products, however, deliver the hydration your skin needs while also providing a sensation similar to natural sebum. As a result, your skin is tricked into believing it has produced enough oil for the day, thereby preventing overproduction.

So let's break it down: Instead of drying out your skin and triggering an overproduction of sebum, our serums provide hydration while mimicking the sensation of natural oils. This dual-action approach effectively manages oil production and provides your skin with the nutrients it needs to restore its natural radiance.

It depends on the skin concern and product used but most people notice the Green + Beauty difference in days. Less breakouts, and current breakouts healing fast. For scars and severe acne I would recommend giving it a couple months. Remember consistency is key & take skincare a day at a time!
