It started with becoming a Mother.
My Journey
I’ve been working towards living sustainably for a long time, but it was only when I had my own children that I began a journey towards a simpler lifestyle that embraced all areas of my life - tinyhouse living, minimalism, gentle parenting, nature, free play and the use of natural, organic and minimal waste products as often as possible.
As a naturopath and medical herbalist, I was interested in botanicals and how they could be used to create truly clean skincare. I began searching for just that. Skincare that was natural and sustainable.
Time after time, I found products that made these claims, but as I looked more closely, I found that they really weren’t. They would contain harmful additives and preservatives despite their organic, natural labels, and were not sustainable.
After Years of Research
I made my own products
I began researching and embarked on a journey of making my own products to save on packaging and to know exactly what went into them.
As time passed, it became abundantly clear that we needed to set a new standard in natural skincare, because if products containing 90% clean ingredients (with 10% being impossible to understand) wasn’t good enough for me, it wasn’t good enough for others either.
We’ve been told that we can’t achieve naturally radiant, timeless, and healthy-looking skin without the use of lab-made ingredients, but I beg to differ.
Just as we deserve to eat clean foods that are completely free from artificial preservatives and artificial ingredients, we deserve a skincare line that gives us the same benefit.
Steadfast, I followed my gut and teamed up with the leading experts in botanical research to create Valentia, a truly honest, natural, and 100% pure skincare line that revitalizes your skin without compromising your health.
What’s in a name?
Valentia was a mythical Roman goddess
Known for going against the grain to utilize nature as the ultimate source of healing. She was bold, determined, and brilliant—and we aspire to be the same.
Why? Because you deserve a skincare line that doesn’t hold you back.
Who we are.
We are a small but devoted team of health and beauty experts, researchers, and creatives working to build a revolutionary, honest, and nature-rooted skincare line that raises the bar for what’s possible.
