Fifteen years ago, BGO Beauty began at my kitchen table with a worried heart and a pair of little hands that had just reacted badly to a store-bought hand sanitizer. My youngest daughter needed something gentle and nourishing—something that wouldn’t harm her sensitive skin. At the time, I was already a medicinal chemist, and I knew I could create a better option. So I formulated our first lotion using ingredients I trusted, rooted in nature and science. That lotion became the original Honey Milk Crème, and without even realizing it, I had taken the first step toward building something much bigger than I imagined.
What I didn’t know then was that this moment would mark the beginning of a much deeper journey—not only into clean skincare, but into herbalism, holistic healing, and energy work. Over the years, BGO has grown right alongside me, expanding from that one jar of cream into a full lifestyle brand that supports beauty and wellness from the inside out. I’ve learned how to blend the science I was trained in with the soul I was always meant to express. It’s in every plant I choose, every formula I test, every balm, serum, mist, or oil that leaves my hands.
BGO was never just about skincare. It has always been about healing. It has been about helping women remember what it feels like to feel safe in their bodies and confident in their skin. It has always been about offering something that felt both effective and sacred—products that restore, reconnect, and reflect the deep intelligence of nature. This path has never been about perfection. It’s been about presence. It’s been about intention. It’s been about creating something I’d want my daughters to use—something they could trust, and that would hold them gently as they grew.
And now, they have grown. My youngest just graduated college, and her sister will be receiving her master’s degree next year. BGO has grown with them. It has grown with me. And it has grown because of you—because of every customer who believed in this vision, who chose to try something new, who came back again and again because they felt the difference.
So this month, we celebrate. We honor all the small beginnings that led us here and all the beautiful souls who have been part of this journey. From June 15th to 19th, we’ll be hosting our biggest sale ever on BGO Beauty products—a moment to share the love, stock up on your favorites, and say thank you in a meaningful way. Every order will also count as an entry into our grand anniversary giveaway, which includes a spot in my Menopause Mastermind course, a one-on-one session with me, and $200 in customized skincare products designed just for you.
We’re also giving away special gifts with purchase each week. This week, it felt only right to return to where it all started. Every order over $65 will include a 1oz Honey Milk Crème—my very first formula, made with love and intention, for my daughters. For me, it’s more than just a jar of lotion. It’s the heart of this entire journey.
To those of you who’ve been with me since the beginning, and to those just finding us now, I want to say thank you. Thank you for trusting me, for supporting this work, and for believing in beauty that’s rooted in something deeper. Here’s to what we’ve created together. And here’s to whatever comes next.
With love,
Kasia
