Our Story
THE STORY BEHIND LOWEN’S
Lowen’s Skincare began the way many meaningful brands do: with a real problem and a parent who refused to settle.
When our daughter, Lowen, struggled with persistent diaper rash, we tried everything the market had to offer. Nothing worked. As a practicing pharmacist with years of clinical and compounding experience, I knew the issue wasn’t a lack of products, it was a lack of thoughtful formulation.
So I went to fundamentals.
Using evidence-based research and pharmaceutical compounding principles, I developed a simple, unrefined balm using locally sourced and/or unrefined ingredients, that preserved the original "magic" of the parent plant.
Within days, Lowen’s rash cleared.
With continued use, it never returned.
That moment reshaped everything.
What started as a solution for our family became a mission to create skincare that prioritizes safety, transparency, and performance. From our flagship diaper balm, we expanded thoughtfully into a full line of skincare products, each pharmacist formulated, intentionally minimal, and designed to work with the skin rather than against it.
Today, Lowen’s remains family owned and operated. We are hands-on in every stage, from ingredient sourcing to formulation and production. Our entire product line is EWG Verified® and a PETA Certified Cruelty-Free company, reflecting our commitment to both people and the planet.
Lowen’s isn’t about trends or shortcuts. It’s about doing things properly, because when it comes to skin, especially sensitive skin, details matter.
We Formulate Our Products Based On These Four Principles
Safe for us = Safe for you
We formulate our products using evidence-based, peer-reviewed, and personally-tested ingredients to ensure they are safe for you and your family. We ensure that our ingredients are thoroughly evaluated for safety, effectiveness, environmental impact, and animal welfare by the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Keeping it Simple
We formulate our products with hard-working ingredients. What this means is that any single ingredient can provide multiple benefits within a particular product. This keeps our ingredients list to a minimum number of “simple” components.
Do no Harm
We do not test our products on animals nor do we purchase ingredients that have been tested on animals. Furthermore, Lowen’s has also been vetted by PETA and are listed in their Cruelty Free Company database.
Sensible Sourcing
We source local, certified organic and/or fair trade ingredients whenever possible and continually review and refine our practices to adhere to the above. If we are unable to find an ingredient close to home, we expand our search to find unrefined, organic, fair-trade ingredients from other community-minded social enterprises.
