About Us

Hi, I’m Laura, founder of Olive My Skin, lifelong sensitive skin girl, label reader, and maker of all things gentle and natural.

My journey into natural skincare and healthy living started decades ago, not because it was trendy, but because my skin left me no choice.

Growing up, I couldn’t use the skincare or makeup like my friends used. Everything irritated me.
So my sister and I turned the kitchen into a little apothecary. We experimented with oats, honey, bananas, teas,  anything we could get our hands on.
We didn’t have the internet. We had intuition, curiosity, and a lot of experimenting.

Years later, through college, a career in IT, marriage, three children, and plenty of life changes, I was still making my own skincare. Not because it was cute, but because it worked. Because my skin finally felt calm.

One day, we set up a table at a firehouse craft show. To my surprise, people loved what I made. They felt the difference immediately.
That day sparked the beginning of Olive My Skin.

From years on the craft show circuit to opening 2 retail shops, navigating a divorce, rebuilding my business, and adapting through constant change, one thing has stayed the same: I believe in simple, gentle ingredients that support your skin and home, not overwhelm them.

Every product I make and every eco swap I recommend comes from the same place:
a lifetime of learning what truly works for sensitive skin and a natural home.

When I’m not running Olive My Skin, you’ll find me exploring new places, trying new foods, refinishing furniture, or relaxing by the water — ideally with my dog Cooper by my side.

If you’re craving a simpler, gentler, more natural way to care for your skin and home… you’re in the right place.
