Meet Crystal

Hello there! I'm Crystal, owner of a small business that produces pure, sustainable skincare of the highest quality. Each and every product I offer is infused with plants and pure love. I have poured my heart into this business and have spent countless hours researching each ingredient, their origin and how they benefit the skin.

How It Started

Let me start by saying there are some very personal things I'm going to share with you. These are the stepping stones that piece my story together and I hope you find encouragement by the time you read through it.

So Let's go back. Like, waaaay back. In
2011, I went through a very stressful time in my life. This stress wreaked
havoc on my body and I developed severe scalp psoriasis and acne rashes that
covered my face, neck, chest and back.

This went on for years, despite over-the-counter
creams and shampoos. I was always covered in acne and my hair fell out by the handfuls.
When I was 18, I finally found some sort of relief with a body butter I whipped
up with shea butter and a few oils. My love for natural products ran way back,
and it wasn't until 10 years later that I felt a calling to create skincare
products that would help other people as well. So I did. After tons of research
and a diploma in organic skincare formulation, Crystal Earth was born.

The Rebranding

Though I loved what I was doing, I
couldn't help but think something was missing in my brand. Finally, a couple years after I launched, God took me on a different path. A path that ran on a much deeper, personal level.

You see, skin problems run deeper than the surface and the root cause is normally diet and/or stress related. This can cause feelings of insecurity, unworthiness and depression. I know, because I've been there. The pain runs deep, and I buried mine as much as I could instead of dealing with it. This created SO many problems in my health because I didn't want to face them.

So fast forward, I wanted to encourage people not to
make those same mistakes that I did. Thus began the new path in my skincare journey. To not only create products that help the skin, but also the mind, body and spirit.

Making A Difference

That same year I rebranded, I went
through some of the hardest, lowest times of my life. It's like everything I envisioned helping people with-depression, anxiety worthlessness etc, fell down on me. I was so low that I didn't see a point of living, and simply gave up. Even the simplest things were
just too hard to do, and my brain couldn't even fathom them. For months I dove into books and movies to escape my reality because I simply couldn't face it.

This is when I knew I was on the right path with my brand, because the devil took everything God inspired me to help people with and dumped it over my head saying, "Look at you. How can you help someone else if you can't even help yourself?" He knew my brand and the vision behind
it would change lives, and he wasn't happy about it. So, he tried to put a stop to it.

But you know what, it backfired.
Because after I came through that season, I was stronger because of it. I was better equipped to help others through those same valleys because I had BEEN there. You know that saying, 'Everything happens for a reason'? Well, it does.

But just because I came through that valley doesn't mean it’s been all sunshine and rainbows. There are still other valleys and storms. But that's ok because we're all in this together. That's the purpose of this brand. It's to remind people that they're not alone. It's about reaching that person and helping them find themselves. To help them find the confidence and freedom I didn't have for nearly 15 years of my life. To help them love themselves when they thought they were unlovable. To help
them believe in themselves so they can make a positive change in their lives and others around them. To help them break the chains and set themselves free.

My Formulas

GETTING IT RIGHT

Every formula is my own! While studying a course in organic skincare formulation, I spent countless hours experimenting with many different butters, oils and herbs. I studied the feel, absorption rates, scents and healing benefits of each ingredient until I produced the perfect formula. 

My Process

THE WAITING GAME

Each product we make contains a carrier oil that goes through an herbal infusion process. This lasts a minimum of 4-6 weeks before it is strained and ready to use in our formulations.
