Our Story
Our Skincare philsophy
Aurganics is on a mission to revolutionize the skincare experience for those who, like me, felt ignored by the industry and questioned their natural beauty.
We believe that everyone’s skin is worth more than gold, regardless of race, age, or gender.
Our skin solutions cater specifically to sensitive, melanin-rich skin, using high-quality, 100% plant-powered ingredients.
2007
Launch day
Growing up as a dark skin Black girl in a predominantly white small town,I’ve never really considered myself to be “beautiful”, or felt seen in the beauty industry. None of my friends looked like me, and neither did the models in skincare ads.I tried countless products, just for them to irritate my sensitive skin even more. On top of that, I had“proof of acne”: my dark spots.
2020
The Beginning
I started Aurganics during quarantine in 2020 when I was 17. However, I was making organic bath and body care –not skincare. Until customers started asking me questions about repurposing products, like if they could use a body scrub on their face(please don’t!). While I could answer some, my advice was as good as theirs, and I knew I could be doing more.
2020
The Journey Began
So I did. I started researching, and I became obsessed with learning about herbalism, plant-based ingredients, and hyperpigmentation. During the summer of my junior year, I got my Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation from Formula Botanica to learn how to create all-natural, high-quality products that actually treat the needs of people who look like me.
