Our Sensitive Oat Love Story

How Peonies & Petals Began…

Skincare Formulated by a Physician

I am a double board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and a mother of three boys. Over the past three years I developed a passion for starting my own skincare brand.

I noticed that my skin frequently became dry and easily irritated with over-the-counter products. Rashes resulting from mysterious ingredients have plagued my skin for years. Even the gentlest lotions did not make a difference, so I decided to take skincare formulation into my own hands. I started to make my own products free from parabens, phthalates, and mysterious synthetic fragrances and noticed a big improvement in my skin. I completed a course in organic formulating, and the rest is history!

Our Journey & Mission: Crafting Beauty Together

I strive to create and formulate new and beautiful products with the best clean and worry-free ingredients. While at this time I only formulate and sell for adult skin, it has inspired me to begin this journey towards formulating my own clean skincare.
