About Me, Tiffany

Founder and Formulator

I am 45 years evolving and mom of four, fabulous miracles, living in a small rural town in sunny California. I was born to a hypothyroid Hashimoto mother and hypothyroid father and was myself officially diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2010 and then hypothyroid in 2013. I’m a fervent medical researcher, born out of multiple health issues starting in early childhood, and fueled by an illness that I watched consume my mother. Working as a patient/physician liaison and natural wellness products manufacturer is very gratifying, as you inevitably alter the physician when you educate and empower the patient on lifestyle that encourages health and wellness. I’m a fervent guardian of medicine and its true meaning, ‘Art of Healing’, which cares for the person as a dynamic integrative system.

I am also a perpetual nature and life lover who is evermore seeking enlightenment.

You’ll often find me on Saturdays sharing wit, wisdom and wares at the Joshua Tree Farmers Market. 

Our Philosophy

Many, many years ago, I was given a book called 'Beauty to Die for' by Judi Vance. It is a wonderfully informative book that describes ingredients that are used in everyday products...and how toxic many of them are. It changed the way I viewed cosmetics, skincare and general health and wellbeing forever. Even products in health/natural food stores have many of these toxic ingredients in them, sadly as do organic and natural skincare. If you do not know what the ingredients are...find out before using them. Currently, the FDA does not regulate safety or ingredients in skincare or cosmetics...they do, however, require a full disclosure label...which means the responsibility falls on the consumer to be aware of what each ingredient means, and how it will effect your body.

REMEMBER...Your skin is the largest organ of your body and also your primary immune defense...feed and care for it well with ingredients that it will recognize and are least invasive to the immune system.

If you do not recognize the ingredients, chances are...your skin, metabolism and immune system will not recognize them either.

UPDATE! (February 2015) The environmental Working Group SKIN DEEP now has an app that you can upload to your phone to evaluate the toxicity of each cosmetic by scanning the barcode from your smartphone BEFORE buying. Adding power to the consumers!! Fabulous...
