Earth To Earth Organics is a family owned cruelty-free, eco-friendly, vegan skincare brand. It was created to combat founder Tenesia’s extremely dry, itchy skin after her move from Guyana to England.

In June 2024, they made a huge leap and moved to their dream farm in Wales. Right now, they’re laying the foundations, so they can grow many of the herbs and flowers they use in their products right on their land, giving them even more control over the quality of their ingredients.

“As a family-owned company, we’re here to share exactly what goes into our products and how they’re made. We want you to feel confident in knowing what you’re putting on your skin is crafted with care—from the ground up, quite literally!”
