Why I Created a Hormone-Safe Skincare Line as a Mom and Formulator

When I first began formulating skincare, I wasn’t just searching for products that worked. I wanted something that felt safe — for my skin, my health, and my family. But even the clean beauty products I had trusted turned out to contain hidden ingredients that didn’t sit right with me.
Clean, But Not Always Conscious
I used to think "clean" meant safe. But as I dug deeper into the ingredient lists of popular brands, I noticed things that didn’t add up:
-
"Natural fragrance" without disclosure
-
Oils prone to oxidation and in plastic packaging
-
Preservatives that might disrupt hormone function
Even brands marketed as natural or organic were using ingredients I wouldn’t feel comfortable applying while pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing hormonal changes.
That’s when I realized: most clean beauty brands weren’t formulating with the endocrine system in mind. They were following trends — not protecting long-term health.
A Personal Wake-Up Call
As a mother, I started looking at everything differently. What we put on our skin doesn’t just stay there — especially for babies, young children, and hormonally sensitive people or anyone with a compromised immune system.
My wake-up call came when our family went through toxic mold exposure. The mycotoxins disrupted our health in ways I never expected — and made me hyper-aware of the everyday exposures we often overlook, including skincare. Our healing journey deepened my belief that the products we use on our bodies must support our internal systems, not burden them.
I also heard the same concerns from our community:
- “Reducing toxic load & risk to my skin barrier and hormones.”
- “Just trying to eliminate as many toxins in my routine as possible.”
- “Avoiding toxic preservatives and undisclosed fragrance for optimal health.”
That’s when I knew I had to do things differently.
The Miss Organics promise
I created Miss Organics for people like me — who want sensorial, effective skincare that is also deeply safe.
Our approach goes beyond clean:
-
100% ingredient transparency — no hidden fragrance blends
-
No known or suspected hormone disruptors
-
Low-dose, biocompatible essential oils
-
Cold-processed, certified organic ingredients
-
Glass packaging to prevent contamination from plastics
Every product is formulated by me, in-house, with intention and care. I don’t outsource purity. I stand by it.
Safety Shouldn't Be a Luxury
Too many of us have been told to just trust the label. But true safety requires deeper standards. Whether you're navigating sensitive skin, hormonal imbalances, or just want to lower your toxic load, your skincare should support you — not compromise you.
I believe that when we choose products aligned with our values, we reclaim agency. And that is beautiful.
What Hormone-Safe Means to Me
To me, hormone-safe means:
-
Skincare I’d use without hesitation during pregnancy
-
Products that won’t throw my cycle off or inflame my skin
-
Rituals that feel nourishing, not risky
It’s not about fear. It’s about freedom — knowing you can trust every drop.
With love and intention,
