The Origin Story

Embark on a journey with Green + Beauty, a brand born from an all-too-familiar adversary - acne.

Much like many of you, my struggle with acne was not confined to my teenage years. It stubbornly persisted, leaving behind not only physical scars but also emotional wounds of frustration and insecurity. I found myself trapped in a cycle of trial and disappointment as product after product failed to deliver their promised results.

My journey with acne was not just about sporadic pimples. It encompassed everything from persistent whiteheads to deep-seated hormonal acne – I've faced it all. This harsh reality reshaped my understanding of skin health and lit the spark that eventually ignited Green + Beauty.

The Epiphany: Uncovering the Power of Plants

During my college years, a fascination with the potential of plants in skincare products began to take root. This interest was kindled while I was serving as a teaching assistant for botany and zoology classes. There, a critical question began to form in my mind, igniting an idea that would later blossom into Green + Beauty.

"What if we could utilize the nutritional benefits of green vegetables and apply them directly to our skin?”

The Potential of Nutrient-Rich Greens

We are all aware of the myriad health benefits associated with consuming nutrient-rich greens. They are brimming with essential vitamins and antioxidants that promote our internal health. It then struck me - if these fruits and vegetables could positively impact our internal wellbeing, why not explore their potential for external use?

Could these natural powerhouses be the secret to radiant skin?

A Fresh Perspective on Skincare Routine

This fresh perspective steered me down a path beyond the aesthetics of skincare routine. Instead of just hiding imperfections or smoothing wrinkles, I started viewing skincare from a holistic standpoint.

What if we could harness the nutritional benefits of green vegetables and apply them directly to our skin?

This thought catalyzed my research into understanding how these organic ingredients can effectively address various skin concerns such as acne outbreaks and signs of aging.

Green + Beauty: Inspired by Nature

The exploration into plant-based skincare laid the groundwork for Green + Beauty, a brand grounded in the belief that nature can unlock healthy, glowing skin.

Our skincare products are not merely designed but meticulously crafted with an understanding that each individual has unique skincare needs. Every ingredient is carefully selected for its specific benefits – using the power of plants to restore confidence, one acne story at a time.

In essence, Green + Beauty is a testament to the power of plants and their untapped potential. We are committed to delivering natural, effective skin treatments.

The Academic Journey: Unlocking Nature's Secrets

My academic journey led me to an internship at Cornell University, where I delved into the study of molecular biology related to plant dermal layers. This experience broadened my understanding of plants and their potential in skincare, especially concerning topical treatments.

Armed with this knowledge, my mission became clear - not just to add another product to an already saturated market, but to create solutions suitable for all skin types. Particularly for those battling acne, a community often overlooked in traditional skincare paradigms.

The Research: Revolutionizing Skincare One Plant at a Time

Embarking on this journey into plant-based skincare, I dedicated myself to intensive research. My resources ranged from scientific journals dissecting the biological complexities of plant structures, books on herbal remedies and their applications, and endless online resources offering diverse perspectives and insights.

Every piece of information was a stepping stone, paving the path towards an enlightened understanding of nature’s secrets.

The Process: A Rigorous Pursuit for Perfection

The quest didn’t stop at acquiring knowledge. I dived into practical application, putting numerous botanical elements through rigorous trial and error. This phase involved countless hours in the lab testing and tweaking formulations with the aim of developing the perfect blend of nature's bounty.

The Discovery: Harnessing Nature's Best

In this process, I discovered nature's secret weapons:

1. Tamanu - Known for its regenerative qualities that promote new tissue growth, accelerating healing and the growth of healthy skin.
2. Tea Tree Oil - Celebrated for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties; it’s a potent tool against acne-causing bacteria.
3. Chamomile - Renowned for its soothing effects; it calms skin inflammation and redness.

These ingredients didn't merely soothe my acne-prone skin; they revolutionized it. They didn't just treat surface level symptoms but addressed root causes, transforming my skin's overall health and appearance. They also helped reduce acne scars from my accutane experience and improved my self-esteem issues with acne.

"Our skin is a living ecosystem, it needs nourishment not only on a superficial level but deep within." - Madeleine Garza, Creator, Green + Beauty.
