Brand Spotlight // Creation Skin
Haven’t heard of Creation Skin? They’re brand new and carving their own space in the sustainable and non-toxic beauty industry. This plant-based skincare line is formulated with pure, potent, and hormone-friendly ingredients. After Founder and Formulator, Jennifer’s own experience with infertility, it was important for her to live a non-toxic lifestyle. Using sustainable, high quality natural ingredients, Creation Skin promotes hormonal health and is free of harmful endocrine disruptors.
What are endocrine disruptors?
They are toxic chemicals that can mimic hormones or interfere with them. They’re commonly found in everyday products like plastic food containers, cosmetics, food, detergents, and many personal care products. Even low doses of endocrine-disrupting chemicals may be unsafe and can trick our hormones into acting in different ways. Research shows that they can affect reproduction, puberty, metabolism, immunity, and even cause illnesses. Learn more here.
transparency + sustainability
Creation Skin’s ingredients are soured directly from growers, farmers, and manufacturers. They’re sustainably cultivated and harvested and never tested on animals. For transparency, Jennifer shared some of the farms and growers she works with:
Cranberry Seed Oil: Sourced from a small family farm in Wisconsin called Miller Organics LLC. Jojoba Oil: Sourced domestically, direct from the grower/producer who has partnered with farmers. You can watch a video about them here. Boswellia Neglecta (Frankincense): Comes from a small co-operative that is striving for more sustainable harvesting of the resins to preserve their native resources.
REVIEWED // “JUST BE COLLECTION”

VALIDUS: Polyphenol & Rosehip Cleansing Balm
Cleansing balms are especially great for dry skin and aging skin. These oil-based cleansers cleanse your skin of impurities, moisturize, and protect the skin barrier. The trick is to apply the balm to your dry face, massage, and then add a small amount of water to transform the oil into a milk before rinsing.
I loved how effective, moisturizing, and gentle this cleanser was. It didn’t strip my skin, felt nourishing, and was non-greasy. Formulated with rosehip seed, green tea, omegas, vitamin A, C, E, and plant extracts, this balm leaves my skin looking balanced, clean, and healthy.
FORTEM: Catechin & Niacinamide Serum
This serum is my absolute favorite product from the collection. I’ve been using it for the last month in my morning and night routine (two pumps is plenty) and it leaves my skin looking hydrated, plump, and brighter. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, and a gel consistency. Formulated with vitamin B3 and B5, aloe vera, white tea, jasmine, and elderflower, this anti-aging and antioxidant-rich serum soothes and provides cellular defense for my tired and stressed skin. Highly recommended!
LAETUS: Matcha & Plum Active Face Oil
Looking for a new facial oil? I highly recommend LAETUS! Not all face oils are created equal, but I’m highly impressed with this one. Made with a blend of nourishing seeds oils including rosehip seed oil (packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids), plum, green tea, and other botanicals, this facial oil soothes skin, protects the skin barrier and against sun damage, reduces inflammation, and supports skin health. I have combination and acne-prone skin and I truly believe that incorporating a facial oil into my routine helps keep my skin balanced, healthy, and hydrated.
MITIS: Daily White Tea Moisturizer
This beautiful lightweight moisturizer is packed with antioxidants, botanical extracts, and nutrient-rich seed oils. I use 3 pumps in the morning after my facial oil. It absorbs quick, it’s non-greasy, and instantly leaves my skin looking glowy and healthy! It has a pleasant, subtle smell (it’s free of added fragrance) and feels lovely. A fantastic daytime moisturizer (but you can use at night as well).
LUMEN: Caffeinated Peptide Eye Complex
My holy grail eye cream. I’ve been on the hunt for a great eye cream and I can genuinely say that I’m highly impressed with LUMEN. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and its noticeably helped brighten my under-eye circles and helped reduce the appearance of fine lines (I use it after FORTEM and LAETUS). It’s illuminating amino peptides and proteins support healthy cellular function and omega-rich cranberry and rosehip see oil infused with green coffee help visibly form and soothe tired eyes.
