How It Began:
Our founders, Conner & Chris, each have their own story when it comes to skincare.
Conner has struggled with eczema since childhood, doing his best to keep it hidden. What began as a mild nuisance turned serious in college when he landed in the ER after a severe eczema attack. From that point on, it was a cycle of mainstream creams and steroid treatments - temporary fixes that never addressed the root cause. When he finally realized the problem wasn’t his skin, but what he was putting on it, everything changed.
Chris grew up in a Chaotic environment and carried the weight of that stress in his skin. Like Conner, he followed “doctor-approved” routines that offered little more than restriction and frustration. After years of harsh, chemical-filled creams and showers that couldn’t last longer than three minutes, he’d had enough.
That’s where Human Skincare began.
Conner and Chris decided that good, natural skincare should no longer be taboo. After years of searching, researching, and testing, they discovered something truly transformative tallow-based skincare. What started as personal healing became a mission to share that healing with others. Through a year of refinement, testing, and care, they created a natural, deeply restorative cream and Human Skincare was born.
