Flower & Bone Supply didn’t start as a business idea. It started as a question.
After twelve years in corporate life—traveling constantly, living out of hotel rooms, and pushing my body past its limits—my skin began to reflect the imbalance. Breakouts, inflammation, and irritation became my normal, even as I was told my lifestyle had nothing to do with it.
That disconnect is what set everything in motion.
Leaving Corporate Life for a More Natural Way of Living
When I landed in Northern California, I didn’t have a master plan. I found myself working on cannabis farms, spending my days outside, immersed in plants, soil, and seasonal rhythms.
For the first time, I was living closer to nature than I ever had before. I was eating cleaner, working with my hands, and learning directly from the land. Slowly—almost quietly—my skin began to change.
Without access to spas or esthetician, I had to simplify. I relied on what was available: whole ingredients, herbs, and observation.
Why I Started Making Food-Based Skincare
Before leaving corporate, I’d already begun experimenting with skincare formulations while traveling through Asia. I was tired of aggressive products and curious about simpler, more traditional approaches.
I started with cocoa butter bars and basic oils. Then came the real question:
If I’m using herbs and nutrient-dense foods to support my body internally, why wouldn’t I do the same for my skin?
That question became the foundation of Flower & Bone Supply.
I began researching herbal medicine, traditional preparation methods, and formulation science. I took out stacks of library books, studied ingredient function, and attended medicinal-making classes focused on ingestible remedies.
Over time, a philosophy emerged:
What if I only used skincare ingredients I could also put in my mouth?
That belief still guides every product today.
Skin Is an Organ — And It Needs Nourishment
Skin isn’t something to fix or control.
It’s an organ.
That understanding changed everything.
Instead of stripping, exfoliating, and forcing results, I focused on nourishment—using food-grade oils, herbs, and botanicals that support the skin’s natural function.
This is the heart of food-based skincare:
not chasing perfection, but feeding what’s already there.
The Meaning Behind the Name Flower & Bone Supply
When it came time to name the brand, I wanted something honest—something rooted in the life I was actually living.
My partner and I spent our free time hiking, exploring, and without trying, we kept collecting the same two things:
Flowers and bones. Always.
It became impossible to ignore.
Flowers and bones represent the most fundamental relationship we have with nature.
Plants nourish us, heal us, and sustain us.
And when our bodies are finished, our bones return to the earth—feeding the soil and helping plants thrive again.
Plants love bones. Bone meal has been used for centuries to strengthen soil.
And in return, plants strengthen us.
That cycle—growth, nourishment, return—is what Flower & Bone Supply stands for.
What Flower & Bone Supply Represents Today
Flower & Bone Supply exists to reconnect skincare with nourishment, integrity, and trust.
It’s skincare made in a kitchen, not a lab.
Herbal-infused, food-based, and intentionally simple.
No fillers. No greenwashing. No punishment for your skin.
Just real ingredients, real care, and a deep respect for the body’s intelligence.
That’s the supply.
That’s the story.
And that’s why the name could never have been anything else.
