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!
