OUR PHILOSOPHY
We created Herbivore with a mission of bringing safe, healthy, wellness-focused natural products to the mainstream. Little did we know that we were pioneering a new category now known as clean, plant-based skincare. Our goal is to continue to change the beauty industry by pushing the limitless of what defines clean beauty and paving the way for ever cleaner, healthier, more sustainable and effective formulations to reach the greatest number of people.
CLEAN, PLANT-BASED SKINCARE
We believe in the power of plants to make your skin even better. Our formulas supersede Clean standards (formulated without 2,700 questionable ingredients in fact) because we scrutinize each ingredient and each formula is made from scratch. At the root of each formula is a clinically proven, natural active that produces phenomenally effective, sensational results and designed by nature to produce magical “Before & Ever-Afters”.
GENTLE + EFFECTIVE FORMULATIONS
We believe less is more. Herbivore pioneered the connection between natural + Dermatological ingredients. Each of our original formulas are like a layer cake of 3 Essential Actives: clinically proven plant-based active + gold standard dermatological active + botanical soothers. Together, the 3 Essential actives work together to be tough on damage and gentle on skin. All our formulas can be layered with each other; stick with your routine and you’ll keep seeing results.
DESIGNED FOR ALL SKINS, INCLUDING SENSITIVE SKIN
The brand was founded to help Alex Kummerow, our co-founder with his eczema. Each formula is tested on all skin types including sensitive skin and is designed to minimize irritation or reactivity so all skins can use it.
ORIGIN STORY
Before meeting in the Emerald City (aka Seattle, WA) and starting Herbivore in 2011, close friends and co-founders Alex Kummerow and Julia Wills had their feet firmly planted in the supernatural.
Julia started her journey learning about the power of crystals and medicinal herbs from her mother, a practicing healer, and later obtained a degree in Health Psychology and Herbology at Bastyr University.
Stemming from an ancestral line of botanists and climate-change scientists, Alex cross-pollInated his deep-rooted respect for and knowledge of plants and the planet with his natural aptitude for cosmetic chemistry.
Together, Julia and Alex manifested small-batch skin solutions for a fast-growing Etsy community and have since cultivated HERBIVORE into a global beauty brand famous for efficacious plant-centric skincare.
They continue to nurture their like-minded team at Herbivore, championing a deeper connection to and understanding of the plant world through sensational, natural beauty products.
