How my aromatherapy journey led to a skincare range for women over 50

My journey into skincare did not start at a beauty counter at all. It began with aromatherapy and my work as a certified menopause coach. I was originally just looking into essential oils for my own wellbeing to help with my mood and anxiety. I ended up taking a course just to understand them better and that is when I realised how ridiculously potent these plant extracts actually are.

Starting with mood and hair As I got more interested, I started blending my own oils. The very first physical product I made was for my own thinning hair. Then I moved on to my face. I was just experimenting for myself, but I quickly noticed a genuine difference in how my skin felt.

Hearing the struggles of other women Through my coaching I was speaking to so many women who felt completely disturbed by how their skin was suddenly betraying them. They were hitting their forties and menopause and suddenly dealing with all this sagging skin thinning a loss of hydration and red lines appearing out of nowhere. Because I was studying oils, I started giving them hints about what they could use.

Needing to know how it all works Meanwhile I was still buying standard creams off the shelf myself and just slapping them on. But hearing how much these women were struggling pushed me to look for really good skincare for mature skin. I wanted natural ingredients, but I needed something that actually worked. A lot of the stuff on the market is just rubbish and simply sits on the surface of your skin. Because I am the sort of person who needs to know exactly how things work I ended up taking a professional course. I qualified as a certified therapist specialising in mature skin and herbal medicine.

Creating what we actually needed That is exactly what led me to create my own solo-operated brand. I formulate everything in Wales and the products are handcrafted and manufactured in England. I am always completely transparent that my range is not one hundred percent natural because things like my hydrolysed collagen cream need specific active ingredients, so they get results. My goal was just to create the effective high-quality products that my coaching clients and I desperately needed when our skin started changing.

Introducing the natural potency of my essential serums Understanding exactly what my menopause coaching clients were facing—the feeling of betrayal, the sagging, the thinning, the dryness—pushed me to use my herbal medicine expertise to create a range that didn't just sit on the skin but worked. That is why I am so proud that while certain formulations like the hydrolysed collagen cream require specific active ingredients for efficacy, my specific serums are 100% pure essential blends, handcrafted from the most potent botanical extracts to deliver direct, natural care for mature skin.
