R.E.M. Bodycare began long before it ever had a name—rooted in motherhood, intuition, and a deep belief in nature’s ability to heal.

When my children were young and struggling with eczema and sensitive skin, I searched for something gentle enough to soothe their discomfort but effective enough to help. Traditional ointments often caused more harm than good, and I knew there had to be a better way. With a background in medicine and a passion for natural healing, I began teaching myself how to use essential oils, herbs, and raw ingredients to create what we needed.

It started with a simple healing balm, then a sugar scrub gentle enough to treat diaper rash and inflamed skin—opting for sugar over salt to avoid further irritation on raw, red, sometimes bleeding skin. Over time, I began formulating more products and sharing them with friends and family, never imagining it would become something bigger.

After years working in the medical field, I hung up my surgical scrubs in 2016 to follow my passion for beauty and wellness, becoming a licensed cosmetologist. But even in the salon, I ran into the same problem—the lotions and scrubs available were sticky, synthetic, and often irritating. So once again, I returned to what I knew: making my own.

When COVID shut my salon doors in 2020, clients began asking for my products to use at home—body butters, sugar scrubs, healing balms—anything to recreate the treatments they missed. That moment was the spark. What had always been a personal solution became something more: a calling to bring clean, effective, and luxurious self-care into other people’s homes.

Today, R.E.M. Bodycare is still guided by the same principles it began with:
Real ingredients. Pure essence. A purposeful method.
Every formula is handcrafted in small batches using only raw, non-toxic ingredients—no artificial dyes, no synthetic fragrances, and absolutely no shortcuts. Just clean, honest bodycare with soul.
