Hello! I'm Marie, the founder, and CEO of Balmy Wellness company. In 2019 I became pregnant with my daughter, and a dear friend gifted me a belly balm. I used it well before I had a bump, as it was a lovely way to connect with my pregnancy. After having my daughter, I started dabbling with skincare products. It was a way to 'differentiate' morning from night during a time when a schedule simply didn't exist. It began with just a product here and there, and quickly became my beloved ritual. It was the simplest, accessible way for me to incorporate self-care into this new world of parenthood. Living through a pandemic, navigating becoming a new parent, having 2 kids 1.5 years apart was a feat to say the least. Like many, the hardships of Covid took its toll, and I could feel my mental health deteriorating. This is where the vision of Balmy was born. This brand is focused on the feel-good aspect of skincare, and encourages people to take a pause in their busy schedules to meditate, practice mindfulness and self care. We select the finest ingredients specific to each product. We are passionate about community wellness, and thus a percentage of profits from our face masks will be donated to local non-profit organizations who support mental health initiatives. I look forward to including you in my journey, and hope you enjoy our products. Learn more about what we offer on our Shop page!
​
With kindness,
Balmy Team
