It all started with a lesson in self-care and the realization that what we put on our bodies matters as much as what we put into them.
As a nursing student at just 18 years old, I found myself diving deep into the effects of harmful chemicals on our bodies. Learning about the links between toxic ingredients and health issues like skin cancer, I knew I couldn’t continue using products filled with preservatives and unknown substances. But when I looked for natural, wholesome skincare options in my local stores, they simply didn’t exist.
So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. In my college dorm room, armed with simple ingredients and a lot of determination, I created my first body butter—pure, natural, and safe. To my surprise, my classmates loved it, and what began as a personal solution quickly became a small business. My dorm transformed into a mini production hub, and I realized this was more than just a hobby—it was my calling.
After graduating, I moved back home, and that’s where the real magic happened. My mom and I started bonding over our shared love of natural skincare. Together, we explored the incredible power of herbs and how they could heal and nurture the skin. From dry skin to pigmentation, eczema to scars, we discovered that nature truly holds the solutions to so many of the challenges people face.
That journey became Essence of Time & Love, a brand built on passion, purpose, and the belief that skincare should be as pure as it is effective. Every product we create—whether it’s our soothing body butters, herbal-infused oils, or luxurious body polishes—is crafted with intention, love, and the highest quality ingredients. No harmful chemicals, no synthetic preservatives—just the power of Mother Nature, harnessed to care for your skin.
Today, Essence of Time & Love isn’t just a business; it’s a celebration of connection—between my mom and me, between our family and yours, and between the earth and the people who trust in its gifts. We’re proud to share our formulations with the world and to give our community access to skincare that is safe, nourishing, and truly luxurious.
