Our Story
We met during the first week of our freshman year of college and have been best friends ever since. Our junior year, when we finally got to live together, we were really struggling to balance school, our social lives, and our relationships and our skin showed it. We were both constantly breaking out and did not realize how much it was holding us back until we finally talked about it. There were nights when we didn’t want to go out because our make-up couldn’t cover our breakouts and a lot of days spent frantically researching the best products to try and save our skin.
the start of Our-science
After months of testing out every DIY skincare hack we saw and trying every product that promised to solve all of our skin concerns (even though they rarely did) we realized that young women deserve better!! We all deserve products that actually work and are based off scientific research/evidence- not manipulative marketing. We decided to combine our academic backgrounds to create a brand we wanted to see on our own skincare shelves.
Our values:
Finding the right, effective products wasn't our only problem. We were sick of finding products we loved that came from a brand that did not share the same values we did. Brands need to be held to a higher standard, which is why we have based the values of Our-Science off of the values that are most important to us: transparency, empowerment, effectiveness, and of course fun!
