Our Story

A family at a booth labeled 'Joyfulskin' at an outdoor market, with a woman with curly hair wearing a moon T-shirt, a young girl in an orange shirt, a man holding a young child, and various bottles of skincare products on the tables.

JoyfulSkin was born from a deeply personal journey—one shaped by parenthood, wellness, and the realization that clean skincare isn’t always created with every family in mind. When our daughter developed eczema as a baby, we searched everywhere for answers. Yet the information we found rarely reflected children who looked like her. Redness described on pale skin didn’t show us how eczema presents on brown skin. Products advertised as “safe” and “gentle” still carried toxins we didn’t want anywhere near our baby. And the organic options that were truly clean were too expensive, too small, and still didn’t nourish her skin the way she deserved.

So we did what so many families do when answers aren’t provided—we created our own. We researched, we mixed, we tested, we failed, we tried again. Through nights of reading studies, grinding oats by hand, adjusting formulas, sourcing organic ingredients, and caring for our daughter’s skin with our own hands, JoyfulSkin emerged not as a brand, but as a necessity.

What began as one bar of soap for our baby has grown into a whole-self wellness experience rooted in representation, accessibility, and care. We are committed to offering clean, organic skincare that doesn’t compromise: products you can trust, ingredients you can pronounce, and formulas gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.

And while our story begins with a desire to make Black and brown families feel seen in spaces where we are too often overlooked, JoyfulSkin is for everyone. Every shade, every story, every background. Our mission is to cultivate a place where all people feel welcomed, supported, and cared for—where wellness is not exclusive, but expansive.

Here, no one is an afterthought. Everyone is intentionally considered. Our storefront, our language, our products, our mission are crafted to affirm the simple truth that every person deserves access to clean, nourishing skincare.

JoyfulSkin exists to remind you that tending to yourself is not a luxury; it is a sacred practice. A moment of rest. A conscious breath. A small, intentional act that says,
“I matter. I take pride in caring for myself. I deserve to be well.”

This is who we are. This is why we’re here. JoyfulSkin is whole-self wellness for every body—created with love, rooted in community, and committed to honoring the skin you’re in.
