During a difficult infertility journey, the stress showed up on my skin. After the chapter ended, I began caring for myself differently — small, consistent actions were quietly becoming rituals, and those rituals helped me rebuild my resilience.

I started to notice a meaningful improvement in my skin and overall wellbeing. I had always been interested in skincare and the ingredients behind it, but seeing a change in my own skin made me want to understand why. With a Master’s degree in psychology and a career in biotech and diagnostics, I turned to science.

A trip to Indonesia became another inflection point. Seeing the impact of ocean plastic pollution firsthand made sustainability impossible to separate from the kind of brand I wanted to build.

French Farmacie was born from a desire to bring together the rigor of science, the power of ritual, and a more considered approach to what we put on our skin and into the world.
