As co-founder of Ecolibra, I know firsthand the struggle of living with sensitive skin, eczema, and topical steroid withdrawal. I was diagnosed with eczema at eight years old and, like many others, relied on prescribed topical steroids for over two decades. What was presented as a solution slowly weakened my skin’s natural resilience, trapping me in a cycle of flare-ups, stronger prescriptions, and growing sensitivity.

When I finally stopped using steroids, I entered one of the most physically and emotionally difficult seasons of my life. During withdrawal, nothing seemed to help. It was during this time that my girlfriend, whom I had just met and who was deeply passionate about holistic living, began creating simple, natural blends to soothe my skin. Her first formula, made with shea butter and plant oils, brought a level of comfort I hadn’t felt in years. Slowly, my skin began to recover.

During my recovery, I came to a deeper realization: nature already provides what we need to restore balance and support healthy skin. That understanding became the foundation of Ecolibra.

Today, I am steroid-free and eczema-free, and my skin is healthier than it has ever been. The woman who stood by me through that journey is now my wife, and our first child will be born in the same year Ecolibra was founded.

Ecolibra was born from real struggle, real recovery, and a commitment to helping others step out of the cycle of temporary fixes and toward lasting balance.
