Introducing Beauty Biology
This week on the skin edit, an interview with our founder about our new Beauty Biology consultations. Learn about the why and how behind Beauty Biology
What is Beauty Biology, and what made you create it?
Beauty Biology started the same way the whole brand did, in my kitchen, making lotion for my daughters. Their skin was sensitive and reactive, and nothing on the shelf was actually solving the problem. So I made something that would. That was the beginning of everything, an act of service before it was ever a business. Years later, after formulating hundreds of products and sitting across from people during consultations, I kept noticing the same thing. People were doing everything "right" and still not getting results, because no one had ever helped them understand their own skin first. They were buying products for a problem they hadn't actually identified.
Beauty Biology is the answer to that. It is a way of working with the skin's biology instead of guessing at it. We figure out what your skin is doing, why it is doing it, and what it actually needs before we ever talk about a single product.
What do you mean when you say your skin is "telling you" something?
Your skin is always communicating. Dryness, breakouts, sensitivity, dullness, the way it changes through the seasons or through a decade of your life, those are not random. They are signals. The trouble is most of us were taught to treat the signal instead of listening to it. When you only treat symptoms, you end up chasing your skin around. You react to dryness, then react to the next thing, then the next. It is exhausting, and it rarely works for very long. Reading the skin is about asking a better question. Not "what product fixes this," but "what is my skin trying to tell me, and what does it actually need." Once you understand that, everything gets simpler. You stop buying things out of frustration and start making choices that make sense for the skin you actually have.
How is this different from a regular facial or a skincare consultation?
A facial is a treatment. Beauty Biology is an understanding. They are not competing, they just do different things. My background is in medicinal chemistry, so I look at skin the way a chemist does, ingredients, formulation, how things actually interact with the skin barrier. But I am also a holistic health coach, which means I am never just looking at the surface. Skin is connected to everything, hormones, stress, what is happening in the rest of the body. A breakout in your forties is not the same story as a breakout at twenty, and it should not be treated like it is.
A Beauty Biology session is not about selling you a routine, it's about helping you understand your skin clearly, with both the science and the whole picture in front of us. You leave knowing more than you did, not just owning more than you did.
What happens during a Beauty Biology session?
It depends on where you are starting and how deep you want to go, which is why there is more than one way in. Some people want a focused look at what they are already using, to find out what is helping and what is quietly working against them. Some people want to start from the ground up and build real understanding of their skin from the beginning. And some people are ready to go deep, looking at the patterns underneath, the things that keep showing up.
Deep Dive: An hour-long one-on-one session for a complete look into your skin. Includes a $35 product credit.
Foundation: A half-hour one-on-one session for a look into your skin health. Includes a $20 product credit.
Whatever level you choose, the goal is the same. We look closely, we make sense of what we see, and you walk away with something you can actually use.
Who is this for?
It is for anyone who is tired of guessing. People who have tried a lot of things and are not sure why none of it stuck. People going through a change, perimenopause, a new decade, a new season of life, and noticing their skin is not behaving the way it used to.
A lot of the women I work with are in their forties and beyond, and I want to say something to them specifically. You are not too late, and your skin is not a problem to be fixed. The whole idea behind well-aging is that you can be at your best at any age. Not younger, not someone else, just clear about your own skin and confident in how you care for it. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by skincare or talked out of trusting your own skin, this is for you.
What do I leave with?
A real plan, in writing. Not a sales sheet, an actual Blueprint built around your skin, your life, and what you told me during our time together. Something you can hold onto and come back to. That is the part people are sometimes surprised by. They expect to leave with a bag of products and instead they leave with clarity. The products come later, if and when they make sense, and by then you understand exactly why they are in your routine.
