French Farmacie was born out of a deeply personal journey of transformation. After years of struggling with infertility and enduring the heartbreak of multiple IVF cycles and miscarriages, I was left questioning everything. This experience became a profound turning point, inspiring me to reevaluate my relationship with self-care—from the products I used to the lifestyle choices I made. Having battled acne from my teenage years well into my 30s, I also understood the frustrations of an up-and-down relationship with skin health.

As the chapter on trying to conceive came to a close, I immersed myself in research, learning about skincare ingredients and focusing on what genuinely supports and nurtures the skin. This journey extended beyond skincare, leading me to embrace a more holistic approach to health—caring for myself physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Where Skin Health Meets Sustainability

A life-changing trip to Indonesia further shaped my purpose. Witnessing the devastating impact of ocean plastic pollution firsthand revealed the deep connection between personal well-being and the health of our planet. This experience inspired a commitment to creating skincare that delivers results while respecting the environment.

Fueled by this new sense of purpose and my background in cancer diagnostics and biotech, I partnered with a Harvard-trained cosmetic chemist to bring French Farmacie to life.

Our Philosophy

French Farmacie is more than skincare; it’s a movement toward mindful living. By prioritizing science-backed skin health, elevating everyday rituals, and embracing environmentally conscious practices, we aim to inspire a more intentional approach to beauty and self-care.

I’m so grateful you’re here.
