ABOUT KOSMATOLOGY

Gentle, Non-Toxic Skincare for Sensitive Skin

Kosmatology was born from a very personal experience—and a desire to create gentle, effective skincare for sensitive skin.

When my youngest daughter, Cameron, was just a few months old, she developed eczema. If you’ve ever cared for a baby with eczema, you know how uncomfortable it can be. She went from being a happy, easygoing infant to a fussy baby who was clearly uncomfortable in her own skin.

We tried everything we were told to try—changing detergents, adjusting routines, and visiting the pediatrician multiple times. Eventually, corticosteroid creams were prescribed. As a pharmacist, I understood how these medications work and the role they can play, but I also knew they are often a short-term solution and can have side effects, especially with repeated use in children.

I wanted something gentler to support her skin.

So I started researching.

From Compounding Pharmacist to Skincare Formulator

With my background in compounding pharmacy, I began studying eczema, skin barrier health, and the ingredients commonly used in lotions and creams. One thing that stood out to me was how many products—even those labeled natural—contained alcohols, preservatives, and fragrances that could irritate sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

I decided to create something different.

I began formulating a solid moisturizer that would:

• Provide deep, lasting moisture

• Help support the skin barrier

• Avoid unnecessary irritants

• Be simple, gentle, and effective

That process led to the creation of what is now our Goody-Goody Grapefruit Lotion Bar, one of our most loved products for dry and sensitive skin.

Unlike traditional lotions, lotion bars don’t contain water, which means they don’t require the same types of preservatives. Instead, I used nourishing, plant-based ingredients like:

• Shea butter and olive oil to moisturize and soften

• Candelilla wax to create a protective barrier

• Carefully selected essential oils for a light, natural scent

After just a few uses, Cameron’s skin began to improve. Seeing her comfortable again was the moment I realized this could help other families too.

The Beginning of Kosmatology

Friends and family began asking for lotion bars of their own. Then came requests for lip balms, bug balm, and other everyday skincare products made with the same philosophy: gentle ingredients, thoughtfully chosen.

Around that time, my brother jokingly started calling what I was doing “Kosmatology”—a play on my maiden name, Kosma—and suggested I should turn it into a real skincare line.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Today, Kosmatology creates plant-based skincare designed especially for:

• Sensitive skin

• Dry and eczema-prone skin

• Families seeking non-toxic personal care

• People who prefer fragrance-free or low-fragrance products

Our Philosophy: Skincare That Supports the Skin

We believe skincare should support the skin—not overwhelm it.

Many conventional products rely on harsh detergents, synthetic fragrances, or unnecessary additives. These ingredients can be irritating, especially for people with sensitive skin, allergies, or conditions like eczema.

That’s why we focus on:

• Gentle cleansing formulas

• Nourishing oils and butters

• Simple, effective ingredient lists

• Products safe for frequent daily use

Many of our products are MADE SAFE® Certified, cruelty-free, and formulated without:

• Parabens

• Phthalates

• Triclosan

• Harsh sulfates

• Synthetic fragrance

Our goal is to create skincare that is safe, effective, and comfortable for everyday use.

Designed for Real Life

Kosmatology products are designed to fit naturally into everyday routines—whether it’s washing hands at the kitchen sink, moisturizing after a shower, or keeping lip balm in your bag during the day.

We believe gentle skincare shouldn’t feel complicated. It should simply work.

Why We Do What We Do

At the heart of Kosmatology is still the same motivation that started it all: caring for the people we love.

Every formula begins with one simple question:

Would I use this on my own family?

If the answer isn’t yes, we keep working until it is.
