OPHIR BEAUTY

As a woman with extremely sensitive, acne-prone, combination oily/dry skin, I struggled from the time I was a teenager to find skincare products that would soothe, balance, and heal my skin without causing irritation and breakouts within a few weeks of use.

I tried department store beauty counter skin care sets from age-old names in the beauty industry.

I tried the famous anti-acne brands that took over mall kiosks in the early 2000’s (and suffered through “skin purges” that were really my face begging me to stop burning it with acid.)

I tried every mask, peel, cleanser, toner and moisturizer I could get my hands on from local stores.

Organic or synthetic, cheap or expensive– it always seemed to fail me within a few weeks.

In desperation to stop throwing money down the drain while my face continued to suffer, I went back to my naturalist mother’s roots, and began studying skin health, and skincare formulation with a focus on simple oil-based ingredients that were naturally rich in antioxidants, phenols and fatty acids.

Over more than fifteen years of study, formulation, and testing, I developed formulations from a combination of plant oils and essences that not only finally work for my own complicated skin (which now has the aging factor added in on top of everything else!) but that work for an ever-expanding network of other women as well!

I am so pleased to be able to offer you this same formula I use on my own face every day, in the form of Ophir Gold.
