Natural Skincare Journey: How Sensitive Skin Inspired Pure & Natural Body Essentials
My natural skincare journey began years ago when my skin became increasingly reactive. Every new product I tried promised miracles, yet all I experienced were breakouts, irritation, and frustration. I wanted something gentle, simple, and truly effective — but nothing on the shelves delivered what my sensitive skin needed.
That frustration eventually sparked something bigger: the beginning of Pure & Natural Body Essentials, a clean beauty brand dedicated to thoughtful, small-batch skincare handcrafted here in Michigan.
How My Natural Skincare Journey Became a Mission
When my skin reached its breaking point, I started studying everything I could about ingredients, botanicals, and traditional skincare remedies. I learned that when you remove unnecessary fillers and focus on nourishing, plant-based ingredients, skin naturally becomes calmer and more balanced.
This shift in understanding shaped the foundation of my business: creating products rooted in simplicity, transparency, and skin-loving botanicals.

Key Ingredients That Made a Difference
Along my journey, a few ingredients stood out and completely changed how my skin felt:
Marula Oil — Lightweight hydration that keeps the skin barrier strong
Raspberry Seed Oil — A natural source of antioxidants
Vitamin E — Helps soften and protect the skin
Shea Butter & Aloe Vera — Calm, deeply hydrate, and comfort the skin
I also learned the importance of sourcing. Whenever possible, I choose ingredients from ECOCERT-certified suppliers to ensure quality and transparency.
Helpful resources:
• EWG – Ingredient Safety
• ECOCERT – Natural & Organic Standards
These sources guided me throughout my transition from frustrated consumer to formulator.
Why Clean Beauty Supports Sensitive Skin
During my research, it became clear that many traditional products rely on synthetic fragrances, harsh preservatives, or unnecessary fillers — all of which can trigger irritation. My skin felt better when formulas were simpler, and that truth has guided every product I create.
Pure & Natural Body Essentials is built on:
🌿 Small-batch production for freshness
💧 Transparent ingredients — no hidden blends
🕊️ Gentle formulas suitable for daily use
🌱 A commitment to clean, honest skincare
