Discovering the Hidden Gem of Skincare: Lord & Lily
A Journey of Passion and Purpose
In the bustling world of skincare, where the shelves are laden with products claiming to be the elixir of youth, it's rare to stumble upon a brand that not only delivers on its promises but also weaves the ethos of empowerment, environmental consciousness, and personal health into its very fabric. Lord & Lily, a skincare line founded by the remarkable Lily Yang, is one such gem that has been quietly revolutionizing the skincare regime of many, including myself, a stage 4 melanoma survivor with a penchant for supporting local and female entrepreneurs.
Lily's journey into the realm of skincare is as inspiring as the products she creates. A chemist and engineer by trade, Lily spent years using products that were harsh on her skin and the environment. It wasn't until her late 50s, after indulging in high-end skincare with a hefty price tag, that she questioned the cost—not just in dollars but in ethical terms, considering her commitment to supporting abused and neglected girls in Cambodia. (Which she continues to do, by donating 20% of her profits.) This realization led her to embark on a mission to create a skincare line that not only met her stringent standards for purity and effectiveness but also aligned with her altruistic values.
The Inspiring Story Behind Lord & Lily
At 60, spurred by the encouragement of friends who had witnessed the transformative effects of her homemade concoctions, Lily launched Lord & Lily. The brand stands as a testament to the fact that it's never too late to pursue your passion and make a significant impact. Lord & Lily's mission is clear: to offer 100% biodegradable products made from pharmaceutical or food-grade ingredients that are clean, natural, and organic. This commitment is evident in every bottle and jar that comes out of Lily's lab—a place that, as I can personally attest, smells absolutely divine.
Having had the opportunity to tour Lily's lab and meet the visionary herself at a women's empowerment conference, I was struck by her dedication not only to skincare but to making the world a better place. Lord & Lily is more than just a skincare brand; it's a reflection of Lily's heart and soul.
Products That Transform
As someone who has always sought to curate a lean beauty regimen, especially after surviving cancer, finding Lord & Lily was a revelation. The products, from the Anti Aging Serum to the Thirst Quenching lotion , have not only nourished my skin but also provided me with the peace of mind that comes from using products that are safe, effective, and environmentally conscious. Both of those help my dry skin feel smooth and supple. The SPF 40 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, in particular, has been a game-changer for me, offering protection that is crucial for a melanoma survivor.
Lord & Lily's array of products, including my favorites like the Natural Foaming Cleanser ( I like to use 3 pumps and if I have face makeup on, I use a face brush and wash twice) and the Stem Cell Trio Serum, are a testament to Lily's ingenuity and commitment to excellence. Each product is crafted with the highest quality botanicals, oils, vitamins, and natural ingredients, designed to leave skin feeling soft, smooth, and radiant.
Discover the Difference
In sharing my journey with Lord & Lily, I hope to shine a light on this hidden gem in the skincare industry. It's a brand born out of a desire to do good, for our skin and for the world. As I dive into the hair care products for my next adventure, I invite you to discover the transformative power of Lord & Lily. It's not just skincare; it's a movement towards a more beautiful, ethical, and radiant world.
