CEO NOTE
I am the founder of Shades of Almond, a science-informed skincare brand shaped by both professional training and lived experience. With a background in biology and chemistry and formal education as a Certified Natural Health Professional (CHNP), my work bridges skin biology, botanical science, and holistic health. My personal journey with sensitive, reactive skin revealed how aggressive formulations and hormone-disruptive ingredients can compromise the skin barrier over time. That experience guides every formula we create prioritizing barrier repair, moisture retention, calming inflammation, and ingredient integrity. Shades of Almond reflects my belief that skincare should be intelligent, gentle, trustworthy and crafted with intention for long-term skin health.
About Us
At Shades of Almond, we create skincare for skin that needs gentleness, intelligence, and trust. Our formulations are thoughtfully crafted for hormone-sensitive, barrier-compromised, and reactive skin where traditional skincare often falls short. We formulate to professional standards, grounding every product in skin biology, barrier science, and intentional botanical selection. Each ingredient is chosen not for trend, but for functionality supporting hydration, calming inflammation, and helping the skin restore its natural resilience without unnecessary irritants or hormone-disruptive ingredients. Our approach blends clinical mindfulness with botanical care. From lipid-rich oils to skin-soothing extracts, our products are designed to minimize irritation, reinforce the skin barrier, and support long-term skin balance making them suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. At Shades of Almond, skincare is not about intensity or excess. It’s about restoration, consistency, and respect for the skin’s natural rhythms. Every formula reflects our commitment to creating products that feel as good for the skin as they are thoughtful in design.
Mission
Our mission is to create science-informed, botanical skincare that supports the skin barrier, respects hormonal sensitivity, and promotes long-term skin health while helping people feel better in their skin through products that truly work. At Shades of Almond, we formulate with professional precision and intentional restraint selecting ingredients that hydrate, calm inflammation, and minimize irritation without unnecessary complexity. Our approach is grounded in skin biology, botanical science, and holistic awareness, resulting in skincare that feels luxurious while functioning with integrity. We believe self-care is most powerful when it is gentle, intelligent, and consistent. Every product is crafted to support the skin’s natural balance, creating an experience of comfort, confidence, and trust with every use.
Vision
Our vision is to redefine luxury skincare through knowledge, integrity, and thoughtful care.
We envision a future where skincare is not only effective but understood where people feel confident in what they use because it respects skin biology, hormonal sensitivity, and the skin barrier. At Shades of Almond, luxury is expressed through intentional formulation and science-informed botanical choices that support calm, resilient skin without unnecessary irritation or excess. Through education and transparency, we aim to empower individuals to make informed decisions and experience skincare that genuinely supports long-term skin health transforming daily care into a practice of confidence and refined simplicity.
