The Heartfelt Journey of Be Love Organic Skincare

It all started with one little lip gloss. I was 17, full of curiosity and creativity, when I first dabbled in crafting something I could call my own. Fast forward a few years, and my relationship with skincare had turned into a deeply personal mission. By my mid-20s, I was struggling with hyperpigmentation and other skin afflictions that seemed impossible to resolve. Dermatologists prescribed treatments that only made things worse, filled with unpronounceable ingredients I didn’t want near my skin. Frustrated and desperate for solutions, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

What began as a necessity grew into a passion. I immersed myself in research, poring over books and studies about botanicals, natural remedies, and skin science. My kitchen became my lab, and the first formulation I created was the Botanical Balm. To this day, 20 years later, it remains one of our most beloved products—a testament to the power of simple, effective, and clean ingredients.

At 40, my dream expanded. I purchased a small farm just outside the charming village of East Aurora, NY, and named it Gypsy Meadows. Here, the journey of Be Love truly flourished. The farm became my sanctuary, where I began growing and harvesting my own botanicals—calendula, dandelions, lavender, and more—infusing my products with the vitality of nature. Goats and chickens joined the family, adding a touch of whimsy and connection to the land. Every corner of Gypsy Meadows reflects the philosophy behind Be Love: simple, intentional, and grounded in the rhythms of the natural world.

Why Clean, Natural Skincare Matters

Skincare should nourish, not harm. Our formulations are free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and fillers. Instead, they’re packed with potent botanicals that deliver real results. For example, our Botanical Balm has helped countless customers soothe dry skin, reduce redness, and restore a healthy glow.

One customer, Kerrin, shared how our Goat Milk Soaps eased her son’s eczema when nothing else worked. Stories like hers fuel our passion and remind us why clean, natural skincare is worth the effort.

A Peek Behind the Scenes

At Gypsy Meadows, every product starts with the land. We carefully grow and harvest botanicals like calendula and lavender, hand-picking them at peak potency. The goats and chickens keep us company, adding their charm to farm life. This connection to the earth is at the heart of everything we create.

Workshops and events at the farm bring this experience to life for our community. Guests can see where their skincare “grows,” learn about sustainable practices, and even try their hand at crafting their own botanical-based products.

Seasonal Tips for Glowing Skin

Winter is here, and with it comes the challenge of keeping your skin hydrated and healthy during these cold, dry months. Our Whipped Body Butter is the ultimate winter companion. Rich, creamy, and deeply moisturizing, it’s perfect for soothing dry, chapped skin and locking in hydration. Use it after a warm shower to keep your skin soft and nourished all season long.

For facial care, our Dandelion + Calendula Skin Oil is a winter must-have. Packed with antioxidants and nutrients, it restores moisture, reduces redness, and protects your skin from the harsh elements. Winter doesn’t stand a chance against these natural powerhouses!

Join Us on the Journey

Our growth has been steady and organic, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Be Love isn’t just a skincare brand; it’s a story, a journey, and a shared connection with every person who supports us. Curious about what makes our Botanical Balm so special? Try it for yourself here.

Thank you for being part of this adventure, for trusting our products, and for valuing the care and intention behind everything we create. Here’s to nourishing our skin, our spirits, and the earth, together.

Sweater weather calls for a little skincare layeri Sweater weather calls for a little skincare layering, too.

🍂 Here’s your be love autumn checklist:

🌿 Cleanse: Start with dandelion calendula to gently lift away makeup and the day’s buildup.

✨ Exfoliate: Gently buff away dull surface skin with our exfoliating Beldi soap. Keep it light, and skip this step when skin feels sensitive.

💧 Hydrate: Apply Rose + Calendula Hyaluronic Serum to slightly damp skin for a fresh, dewy hydration boost.

🌼 Nourish: Layer on Rosehip Bakuchiol All-in-One Treatment—our botanical oil serum with bakuchiol and rosehip—to soften skin and help hold onto moisture.

🤍 Moisturize: Finish with Calendula + Chamomile Niacinamide Day Cream, or Calendula Bakuchiol Intense Moisturizer for richer comfort.

Cleanse, gently polish, hydrate, nourish, seal. 
A little autumn love for your skin. 💛

Save this for your next skincare moment.

At 51 (almost 52), my skin is a little drier, a li At 51 (almost 52), my skin is a little drier, a little more particular—and beautifully seasoned. 😉

I’m not trying to erase every line or chase the skin I had at 25. I’m choosing ingredients that help the skin I have today feel hydrated, comfortable and well cared for.

A few worth looking for:

🌿 Niacinamide supports the skin barrier, improves moisture retention and encourages a more even-looking complexion. Find it in our Chamomile + Calendula Niacinamide Day Cream.

🌿 Bakuchiol helps support smoother, firmer-looking skin without the potential irritation associated with retinol. We pair it with soothing calendula in our rich Calendula + Bakuchiol Intense Moisturizer.

🌿 Rosehip oil provides essential fatty acids and antioxidants to nourish dryness and support softness, suppleness and a healthy-looking glow.

🌿 Humectants such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA attract water to thirsty skin. We use them throughout our facial and Botanical Body Lotions because hydration shouldn’t stop at your chin.

🌿 Squalane, botanical oils and plant butters help soften the skin and seal in moisture. For extra-dry body skin, apply lotion while damp and layer a Body Elixir over it.

Add gentle dry brushing on the body before bathing to lift loose surface cells and help your body care apply more evenly—light pressure is plenty. A gentle exfoliant on the face once a week will help keep it glowing and smooth.

Seasoned skin doesn’t need fixing. It needs thoughtful ingredients, consistent care and a little love. 

And honestly? I’m becoming more comfortable in mine every day. ♥️

Sometimes you have to remind yourself who you are, Sometimes you have to remind yourself who you are, what you stand for…and what you’re perfectly okay NOT being. 😉

A little internal dialogue that felt worth saying out loud.

Always learning. Always growing. Always questioning.

And hopefully always staying true to myself along the way. ♥️

🍂 When the air changes, your skin feels it too. C 🍂 When the air changes, your skin feels it too.

Cooler temperatures, lower humidity and indoor heat can leave skin feeling tighter, drier and a little less glowy. 
The answer isn’t adding ten new products—it’s choosing ingredients that hydrate, nourish and help protect your skin’s moisture.

Our three seasonal must-haves:

🌼 DANDELION + CALENDULA OIL
Calendula helps calm and comfort the skin, while dandelion and nutrient-rich botanical oils soften and nourish. Use it to gently melt away makeup and the day without leaving your skin feeling stripped.

🌹 ROSE + CALENDULA HYALURONIC ACID SERUM
Hyaluronic acid draws hydration into the skin, helping it look plumper and dewier. Rose and calendula offer soothing botanical support when changing weather leaves skin feeling delicate.

✨ ROSEHIP + BAKUCHIOL ALL-IN-ONE
Bakuchiol helps support smoother, more even-looking skin without the intensity often associated with retinol. Rosehip, pomegranate, amla, sea buckthorn and squalane deliver antioxidant-rich nourishment and help replenish dry, lackluster skin.

A few tips for the seasonal transition:

• Cleanse gently—your face doesn’t need to feel squeaky clean.
• Apply hyaluronic acid to slightly damp skin.
• Follow with a facial oil to help hold in that hydration.
• Add a moisturizer when your skin needs an extra layer of comfort.
• Ease up on exfoliation if skin begins feeling dry or sensitive.
• Treat your skin and soul to a relaxing facial from a licensed esthetician 😉

Right now, all three of our bestselling seasonal essentials are 20% off through Wednesday.

A simple little wardrobe change for your skin. 🍁
