Cultivated Beauty was born from a deeply personal journey, intertwining the founders’ quests for self-acceptance with a vision for inclusive skincare. Julie began her skincare journey in her 30s, when she realized the face she saw in the mirror felt alien to her. The discomfort of discussing her skin concerns with someone much younger only emphasized the need for a safe haven where vulnerability could be embraced without judgment.
Driven by her experiences and fueled by a desire for inclusivity, Julie embarked on a mission to create a sanctuary where everyone could feel heard, supported, and empowered on their skincare journey. As a mother of four daughters, she understood the importance of instilling proactive skincare habits from a young age, recognizing the diverse needs that come with different stages of life.
Similarly, Megan began seeking solutions for her own skin concerns, but found the idea of visiting a med spa daunting. The thought of sharing her deepest insecurities about her appearance with a stranger was intimidating, to say the least. However, when she finally took that leap of faith, she discovered that opening herself up to a moment of vulnerability allowed her to experience the transformative power of compassionate care.
Through each of their own transformative experiences at a med spa, where compassionate care helped her navigate their insecurities, our founders realized the power of knowledge and empathy in skincare. Armed with this insight, Cultivated Beauty was established as more than just a skincare destination but a community where expertise meets compassion.
