    Handcrafted Skincare

    At Skincare by the Sea, we handcraft our products with carefully sourced, plant-based ingredients that nourish and support your skin’s natural balance and promote radiance. Simple ingredients like locally sourced beeswax, almond oil, argan oil and so on make up our ingredient list. Free from harsh chemicals and synthetic additives, our formulations are gentle and nourishing, allowing your skin to thrive.

    Growing ingredients at our local school in Sausalito

    Skincare by the Sea takes pride in volunteering in the student gardens at Dr Martin Luther King Jr Academy in Sausalito, which allows us in exchange to grow many of our herbs and flowers in garden beds at the local school!

    The student garden program provides hands-on learning for students while they grow their own food to add to school lunches!

    We are crazy about infusing flowers and herbs into our skincare! By growing and harvesting our herbs and flowers, we better ensure the quality of our products
