Laia Canales-Cushing

With a comprehensive international background in the corporate world, founder and product developer Laia started her journey to creating skincare very organically when a soap-making book inspired her to begin experimenting with the process of creating products for herself and her family. 


With a minimalist approach to each product release, Laia remains passionate about procuring and combining the highest quality ingredients and only providing the essential combinations.



"The last thing that people need right now is more complication, my goal is to give my customers exactly what they need for comprehensive skincare, no more, no less, just the essentials."
