FOR DEEPER BEAUTY

Naturopathica was founded on the belief that herbalism, naturopathic medicine, and holistic wellness should be coupled with cutting edge science to offer deeper beauty to all. To address concerns, we consider the skin itself but also understand it as a reflection of the body’s interior health. With our herbal remedies, tinctures, aromatherapies, and highly efficient topical treatments, we improve skin’s function and appearance at a deeper, more efficacious level.

DO NO HARM

We never use toxic ingredients that could be detrimental to the health of the individual or our planet. We exclude irritating ingredients associated with low-grade chronic inflammation.

THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE

We believe that the body has an innate ability to heal itself.

PREVENTION

We focus on preventing imbalances with a good skin care regimen instead of treating symptoms.

TREAT THE CAUSE: HOLISTIC APPROACH

We believe in a holistic approach to skin health and well-being, understanding that the skin reflects the body’s interior health.

  • CLEAN AND EFFECTIVE

    Our products use safe and sustainable ingredients in clean bases that support skin’s natural function. Our actives are proven safe and effective, often developed using the latest advances in green technology.

  • OUR PLANET AND ITS INHABITANTS

    Our ingredients are sustainably and responsibly sourced. Our workers and those of our vendors are paid fair, life-enhancing wages. Everything that we pack, ship, and print is made from glass or recycled material whenever possible. We love animals and never test on them. We are proud to be Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free.

  • MADE IN THE USA AND COMMUNITY FOCUSED

    We are proud to manufacture our products in the United States. We support groups who share our values, including the American Botanical Council, the Green Spa Network, and local non-profit organizations.

INGREDIENTS WITH INTENT

Animal-derived ingredients (Lanolin, Musk, Collagen, Squalene)
Endocrine disruptors (Formaldehyde, Synthetic Fragrance, Parabens)
Petroleum-derived ingredients
Silicones
Any other potentially toxic or known irritants

Our Founder

BARBARA CLOSE

Inspired by childhood visits to apothecaries with her aunt in France, Barbara embarked on an exploration of natural healing at an early age. Barbara now holds a Master’s degree in Therapeutic Herbalism and credentials in esthetics, advanced massage and aromatherapy. Her expertise was tested when her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. During that difficult time, Barbara used lemon balm tea to ease her mother’s anxiety, her own calendula cream to soothe her mother’s sensitized skin, and peppermint aromatherapy to quell her mother’s nausea.

BIRTH OF A BRAND

AUTHOR AND SPEAKER

From the beginning, Barbara sought to demonstrate the connection between inner wellness and outer beauty. To share her vast knowledge, Barbara has authored three books: Well Being (2000), Pure Skin: Holistic Beauty Basics (2005) and The Naturopathica Effect: A Holistic Approach to Skin Health (2018). Barbara is also a popular speaker and panelist at private and public events across the country, leveraging her knowledge as an esthetician, aromatherapist, and master herbalist to educate her listeners and readers on the benefits of her holistic approach to beauty.

The essence of beauty lies within. When we feel our best, we look our best.
