Every botanical has a story.

As a Plant & Soil Scientist, I don't begin with skincare trends. I begin with plants. Many of the botanicals that inspire my formulations are plants I grow, study, and appreciate in my own garden. That connection between plant science and intentional formulation is at the root of every Dr. Lou's product.
