Aloha!
I am Anastasia and I am a certified Organic Skincare & Haircare Formulator and a licensed Formula Botanica Tutor.
I started studying cosmetic formulation in 2017 and since then I created more than 250 natural beauty formulations and tested around 400 natural cosmetic ingredients.
Knowing what I know now empowers me to treat and care for my skin better than most luxury products on the market. How? I research and use best natural cosmetic ingredients in my continuously improving proprietary formulas, targeted at my specific skin needs at any given moment.
Join one of my workshops on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and learn to make luxurious beauty products with amazing local ingredients.
My Philosophy
Long before I got the idea to learn cosmetic formulation, I would day-dream about THE PERFECT SKINCARE that would feel amazing on my uncomfortable, itchy and irritated skin. If anyone told me that I WILL have that perfect skincare available ANY TIME and it doesn't cost me AN ARM & A LEG - I would just laugh.
DREAMS DO COME TRUE. I want to share my knowledge and empower YOU to make skincare that is...
Non-toxic
Skin is our largest organ. Say NO to toxic preservatives, artificial colors, heavy metals, synthetic fragrances, and phthalates. It's a big step into reducing environmental toxins and improving your health.
Breathable
Most mainstream beauty products are made with inexpensive fillers, like synthetic oils and silicones. Those fillers make your complexion look smooth and flawless... by forming a film on the surface of your skin. It only masks the problematic areas and provides a superficial benefit which lasts until the next time you wash your face. I can teach you skincare formulas that feel natural and allow your skin to breathe.
pH-optimized
Our skin has its own amazing microbiome that maintains a healthy balance and protects us from pathogens. This microbiome thrives in a pH 4.5 - 5.5. Let's keep your skin pH-balanced!
Alive
Beauty products available at the store need to be safe, cost-effective and shelf-stable, which sometimes requires the use of less expensive and refined ingredients, stabilizers and strong preservatives.
There is nothing like a skin feel of a freshly-made batch of lotion or serum. My proprietary formulas contain pure unrefined ingredients and botanical actives that are alive. In my workshops you can make skincare with unique hand-made extracts and aromatic hydrosols.
Sustainable
Beauty industry creates 120 billion units of packaging every year and contributes to pollution, deforestation and marine life endangerment.
Making your own natural skincare is eco-friendly and sustainable. If YOU can leave a different blueprint on our planet - ANYONE can.
Tailored to your skin
Every body is different, so is their skin. Allergy to a particular ingredient, skin conditions, pregnancy, breast-feeding or autoimmune diseases leaves us with a very limited choice of available skincare.
Learn to create beautiful natural products adapted to your specific needs that will restore, nourish and pamper your skin.
