The origin story.

Could I…?

Kindred & Core began with a simple question:

Could I create a skincare product that was both beautiful to use and thoughtfully made?

The answer became a waterless elixir built around a carefully balanced blend of butters and oils, with no filler ingredients.

Formulated in california. Perfected in Georgia.

I spent more than 30 years working across environmental research, manufacturing chemistry, supply chains, and corporate sustainability. I learned how to trace materials, evaluate sourcing, and understand the systems behind the products we use every day.

When pregnancy brought intense itching, I began searching for something that actually helped. I found one product that worked—but it was too expensive to use daily.

So I reverse-engineered it.

Then I improved it.

I wanted to create something that was not only effective, but thoughtfully made from the ingredients to the supply chain.

10 ingredients. no fillers.

Every ingredient is intentionally included.

Our formula is waterless, with no filler ingredients. We use 100% USDA certified organic ingredients, including our vitamin E oil.

beauty should be good for people too.

We believe the ingredients in our skincare should be thoughtfully sourced, not just beautifully formulated.

We prioritize certified organic ingredients and Fair Trade or Fair for Life sourcing where available. We are also working toward a more transparent, verified slavery-free supply chain.

We are not finished. We are committed to doing better.
