You may think, “Graydon, from cooking to skincare, that sounds like a huge jump to me”.

And that’s where I’d let you into a little secret: Creating skincare products, to me, is so alike to how I’d cook up food. On one hand, I have all these amazing, beneficial superfood ingredients. And then my job is just to mix and match those ingredients in a way that’d create the final product.

Fun fact about me: If you walk by my desk in the office, at any given moment, you’ll be guaranteed to find me spraying my face with some sort of water.

Delving into skincare formulation sounds fun (and it is) but actually building a business is anything but easy or glamorous, especially without a business background. I’m the lady who took art, sociology and women’s studies in school. I have an MFA not an MBA. Spread sheets and I are not natural friends. 

Without my father’s love and support, we would not have the business we have today. Nor would I be the person that I am. His quiet helpfulness, tireless work ethic, uplifting spirit, wise mentorship, belief in my business — not to mention his overflowing unconditional love, will never be forgotten. I am so incredibly grateful.
