No laundry lists, please!

Wading through a sea of skincare

You want to take care of yourself and your family with gentle ingredients that won’t irritate your skin. Unfortunately, there are a lot of products out there, and they come with a lot of confusing claims and ingredients. It's overwhelming to wade through the sea of skincare options. I know! 

I've been there, looking at the ingredients on the bottles over and over to figure out which product was the safest, which one would be most effective, and (for the love!) which one would combine safety AND effectiveness.

How I got here

I'm Vicki Rye, the one behind ROOTED+WILDER. I started down the path of natural living more than a decade ago. Through infertility, allergies, skin issues, pregnancy, and sensitivities, I looked for the most natural and effective ways to help and heal. 

So many products on the market included a laundry list of ingredients I couldn't pronounce or that irritated my skin. I didn't know what I could trust or where I could turn. And no one around me was struggling like I was. No one understood. 

After years of feeling overwhelmed and defeated, I decided to go to school for natural and organic skincare formulation. I learned about the skin, the best ingredients for natural skincare, and how to formulate safe products. I started making products that better served bothered skin—that I couldn't find on the market. And I just had to share them with those who are struggling like I was.

You've found your skincare BFF

My mission is to help you cut through the overwhelm of choosing more natural and gentle skincare products. Instead of endless searching, reading, and testing, you get to take back your time, feel confident in what you put on your skin, and find nourishment and delight in skincare. You get a skincare BFF and products you can trust. You get the skincare BFF that I always wished I had, so you don't have to go through this journey alone. 

Your skincare BFF,

Vicki

P.S. I didn't take a lot of photos of my issues over the years, but here are some that summarize the struggles—skin that's red, rashy, itchy, and puffy, wearing gloves, and not able to wear my wedding rings for years.
