Our Story
2007
my Why
Growing up as “the dark skin girl” in a predominantly white small town, I’ve never considered myself “beautiful”, or felt like skincare was for me. Plus I had “proof of acne”: my dark spots. Skincare felt like a guessing game each time, and I knew I wasn’t alone.

the j(au)rney begins
I was 17 when I started Aurganics! I made organic bath and body care – not skincare. Until customers started asking me questions about repurposing products, like using a body scrub on their face (please don’t!). I was already skincare-averse, so I didn’t have any better advice or recommendations for them. I knew I could be doing more.

Fast forward
So I did. I enrolled in the Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation to learn how to make all-natural skincare from scratch to create our first custom formula to actually treat the needs of people who look like me. I recently graduated from Duke University and became a full-time founder! We're a small (and growing) team of 7 :)
We're here to revolutionize the skincare experience for all by making melanin-rich skin a part of the conversation. Because our skin is worth more than gold (Au).

Our Skincare philsophy
The more melanin one has, the more prone their skin is to hyperpigmentation, or dark spots, after a breakout.
But most acne products aren't made with melanin-rich skin in mind.
At Aurganics, our products are catered specifically to give melanin-rich skin an irritation-free glow, inside and out.
