Our Sensitive Oat Love Story

How Peonies & Petals Began…

Skincare Formulated by a Physician

I am a double board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and a mother of three boys. Over the past three years I developed a passion for starting my own skincare brand.

I noticed that my skin frequently became dry and easily irritated with over-the-counter products. Rashes resulting from mysterious ingredients have plagued my skin for years.

Even the gentlest lotions did not make a difference, so I decided to take skincare formulation into my own hands.

I started to make my own products free from parabens, phthalates, and mysterious synthetic fragrances and noticed a big improvement in my skin.

I completed a course in organic formulating, and the rest is history!

Our Journey & Mission: Crafting Beauty Together

I strive to create and formulate new and beautiful products with the best clean and worry-free ingredients.

While at this time I only formulate and sell for adult skin, it has inspired me to begin this journey towards formulating my own clean skincare. I truly hope you enjoy these products as much as we have!

Our Love For Colloidal Oats

Here at Peonies & Petals we love our oats! Oats are not just for a nice healthy breakfast in the morning, but they have been used for their soothing and moisturizing properties in skincare for centuries!

Many of our products contain the power of colloidal oats or oat oil (from the Avena sativa plant). Our collection of lotions, lip balms and salves are thoughtfully crafted to provide your skin with deep hydration, gentle relief, and a natural glow.

Whether you’re looking for a soothing lotion, a hydrating lip balm, or a revitalizing body oil, we’ve got you covered.
