Angela discusses the challenges she faced in finding skincare products suitable for her sensitive skin that were also environmentally friendly and free from toxic chemicals. To address this gap, she teamed up with her mother, a former chef, to create their brand. They developed products using natural ingredients, botanicals, and recipes, with a focus on reducing plastic waste.
