In addition, you will find antioxidants, peptides and amino acids, along with glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids, and a host of cold-pressed essential oils, including grapeseed and jojoba seed oils.
Taking an Ayurvedic (Ancient Indian system of natural healing) and aromatherapeutic approach to our formulations provides therapeutic and sensory effects. Our blends support balance and encourage the skin to regulate itself. As such, we approach skin health through whole-body wellness.
Her beauty-wellness company Skin, Mind, Body Essentials (SMB Essentials) sought to bring a new trifecta to beauty more than 18 years ago: the combination of wellness, beauty and inclusivity.
She had a vision that would blend nature and science to enhance the skin’s life cycle. It would also heal and activate the skin and support the natural aging process beautifully.
A lifelong learner and former educator with a master’s degree in education from Stanford University, Lake dug her heels into ingredients and wellness research to launch Lotus Moon Skin Care in 2002.
The brand’s premiere product was Skin Regen, a scar-fading oil that embodied her brand vision of wanting an cleaner alternative to petroleum to help heal the skin after an injury or surgery.
As her product offerings grew she began receiving customer requests for products that would address acne, rosacea and other skin conditions, using safer and more natural ingredients.
Always up for a challenge, Lake began researching and developing products that combined plant-based ingredients like aloe vera, blue green algae, and willowherb and combining them with proven clean cosmeceuticals like lactic acid, peptides, retinol and hyaluronic acid to achieve the results women were looking for - without the unnecessary fillers and harmful preservatives.
In addition to being a Green America certified business, she has received the Trail Blazer Award by Clinical Aesthetics of Atlanta for her career-long commitment to developing safe and non-toxic products. She’s also remained committed to education, serving as a guest lecturer, beauty consultant, keynote speaker and contributing writer, among other roles, as called upon within the beauty industry.
