I’m Wendy, the owner, formulator & maker of HANDS Organic Skincare.

I'm a mother, musician, and artist with a lifelong drive for creativity. I've spent the last 30 years managing a chronic illness alongside practitioners from various holistic modalities, including Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda. It's through these experiences that I developed a love and trust in medicinal plants.

After the birth of my son, I began to see the relationship between toxins and our health. I felt distraught reading labels and frustrated by greenwashing. This fueled my mission to learn how we're bombarded daily through our food, water, air, soil, and everyday products.

Determined to facilitate a non-toxic lifestyle, I began making my own skincare. Over the years, this enjoyment blossomed into HANDS Organic Skincare. My aim is to help others who, like me, are juggling life while seeking clean, nurturing skincare.

I continue my education regarding herbs and skin health with The Herbal Academy, studied potent herbal infusions with Kami McBride, continually study proper natural skincare formulation with Formula Botanica, completed a course on Botanical Gum & Resin Infusions with the Northwest School of Aromatic Medicine, and stay up-to-date on sustainable practices regarding herbs, ingredients & business practices.
