Founder & Skincare Explorer · beautySEAFARI

Time honored beauty traditions from around the world We believe there's a reason why certain beauty traditions have lasted for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. It's because the all powerful ingredients have withstood the test of time & have proven their potency over & over again. We have traveled the world to study gorgeous & effective beauty traditions that have been practiced for years and are on a mission to introduce these rituals & ingredients to you. Our curated collections are ethically sourced & all-natural - celebrating the fusion of nature, culture, tradition, & beauty. We take pride in bypassing the current beauty movement of gimmicks, fads, & chemicals. We've had our own trends since 942 AD and are still being passed down from generation to generation in various pockets of the world. We also believe in paying it forward & 10% of all proceeds from sales of beautySEAFARI products are awarded to recipients of the beautySEAFARI Empowerment Program.
