History of Alchemilla

What started as a little girl’s captivation with a packet of ‘Bambi’ flower seeds has blossomed decades later into Alchemilla Ultra Pure Skin Care.

Company founder Deanna Vazquez recalls the awe and wonder she felt when, at the age of six, she first witnessed the metamorphosis of seed to flower: "Once I saw how those tiny seeds transform themselves into a group of flowers, I was captivated. I knew I was meant to be with plants.” she said. “It is a divine blessing and I’m not sure why I’ve been bestowed with it, but I just needed a tiny hint – like the Bambi seeds – to realize that digging the soil, fussing with leaves and flowers, and just being in the presence of plants completely fulfilled me – artistically, scientifically and spiritually.”

Deanna always maintained her love and involvement with plants and eventually she went on to study horticulture and train in naturopathy and massage therapy - all positive contributions toward her understanding of the world of traditional healing arts.

It was during those years Deanna realized that another fascination she had with skin care and aromatherapy products could be combined with her passion for plants to create a life that revolves around all of these things together.

Over the next ten years of research and development, Deanna and her husband – co-founder and molecular cell biologist, Brian Vazquez – combined the best of both science and nature to create some of the purest, most effective plant-based skincare products available today – Alchemilla Ultra Pure Organic Skin Care.
