A Quest for Truth
More than 14 years ago when I switched to a vegetarian lifestyle, I began vigorously reading labels on every food item I purchased, and then every beauty care item. Although I shopped solely at health food stores, I discovered that even there, pretty little packaging and some good marketing techniques were actually fooling me about what the product actually contained. Aromatherapy, with fragrance oil? I don't think so. 100% natural, but preserved with parabens and not a single organic ingredient? No thanks. This discovery was shocking and horrifying, but at the same time very exciting as it opened my senses to beautiful and exquisite plant-based essential oils, and the skin-loving abilities of Shea Butter, Olive & Coconut Oils, Jojoba, CO2 Extracts, and more. I knew there had to be a better, simpler, and more effective way to nurture my sensitive skin. After all, I was trying to eat all organic. Why not feed my skin naturally as well?
A Natural Connection
As I read and experimented with everything I could get my hands on involving herbal skincare, I quickly discovered and gradually perfected my passion of mixing, formulating and harmonizing these truly remarkable natural ingredients, and turned that energy into a business. At the time it was also just the most natural step. I was just finishing up a Bachelor's degree in Plant & Soil Science, with my emphasis on herbs, and studying with Rosemary Gladstar's Science & Art of Herbalism where I earned a Certified Herbalist degree.
Blooming
If you've been with Greenridge from the beginning you'll know that it's grown a whole bunch. You will also know that it's been organic and pure since the beginning, no exceptions. As a lifelong organic gardener, I knew that natural organic ingredients were the key to keeping skin free from chemicals, as everything we put on our skin can absorb into the bloodstream and affect our mind, body, spirit. We offer the most innovative, fresh, and effective natural skincare ingredients from around the world with the most up-to-date treatments. Greenridge products are tested on real people and are made fresh in small batches with original recipes I have perfected over the years.

Nestled in a quiet seaside community on the coast of Florida, inspirations here are taken from fresh ocean breezes, lush tropical trees, native wildflowers, an occasional sighting of dolphins, and fragrant herbs and flowers from my year-round organic gardens. This is the environment upon which all of the Greenridge natural organic handmade products are made and blessed - with beauty, serenity, and peace. Dedicated to providing you with the finest, natural products that will benefit your body, mind and spirit for years to come.
