Our Story

Lowen’s Natural Skincare

Lowen’s Natural Skincare is named after our daughter, Lowen, and inspired by our journey as parents. After struggling to find an effective diaper rash remedy, Registered Pharmacist Chad Zelensky used his clinical expertise to create a natural balm using high-quality, locally sourced, and unrefined ingredients.

The result? A gentle yet powerful formula that cleared Lowen’s rash within days—and it never returned. Our youngest, Simone, and many other babies have since benefited from our balms, avoiding diaper rash altogether.

Realizing that many parents faced similar struggles, we set out to share our solution and help families everywhere care for their children’s skin naturally. With that mission in mind, Lowen’s Natural Skincare was born.

After launching our flagship Butter Balm, we expanded our line through research and persistence to include a wide range of balms, lotions, cleansers, scrubs, hair care products, and creams. Today, we continue to innovate—developing new products to meet the evolving needs of our customers and our own family.

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.
