Herb Market Botanicals

Melissa Stephanie (she/her) grew up learning about the importance of natural products, homemade, nutritious meals, and at-home remedies. This is all thanks to her mother, who encouraged a natural approach from a young age. Melissa's growing love for health and nutrition eventually led her to become a registered holistic nutritionist. Then her passion sparked for skincare, and began her journey by making ‘healing’ salves and oils for her friends and family.

Looking back, Melissa never imagined she would be the founder and formulator of a skincare company, but she's confident in Herb Market and its’ products, and is beyond grateful for every step of the way.

What inspired Herb Market Botanicals?

I’ve always been passionate about natural health and plant-based living. Studying holistic nutrition allowed me to pursue this passion professionally. During this time, I discovered a drive and purpose within myself: to give people the tools and knowledge needed to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

As my interests evolved into different areas of the human body, skincare struck a chord with me. However, it wasn’t until a close family member was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that I made the complete switch in focus towards skincare. I felt deeply inspired and determined to create a completely toxin-free skincare line, while channeling my studies of holistic health into the skin.
