More Than Just Soap

Since I was 13, my skin has been a battlefield. Hypersensitive. Reactive. Easily inflamed. The kind of skin that seemed to protest even the gentlest store-bought products. What others could use without a second thought left me with redness, breakouts, or burning.

But in that struggle, something awakened. At an age when most were just discovering makeup, I was researching ingredients. Reading labels. Learning about cold-pressed oils, natural butters, and healing herbs. I began experimenting in my own kitchen—desperate to create something my skin wouldn’t reject. It wasn’t about beauty; it was about healing.

Over the years, what began as a personal necessity slowly turned into a lifelong passion. Every formulation came from experience—of knowing what it means to be afraid of your own reflection, and what it takes to finally feel safe in your own skin.

Now, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve created Ether X Bellus not just as a skincare brand, but as an offering. A love letter to anyone who has ever felt overlooked by mainstream beauty. Every bar of soap, every drop of essential oil is chosen with care and crafted with the intention to heal, comfort, and restore.

Because I know what it’s like to search endlessly for something that simply works. And now, I want to share what finally did—with you.
