Letter to our Ohana
ALOHA & Welcome!
My name is Tata & I am the co-founder of Herbs'Oil...
When we set out to conquer our day, most people rarely think about how hard our skin is working to protect us. But for those with sensitive skin, that fact is almost impossible to ignore.
I had sensitive skin growing up, which was passed down from my mom’s side. As a single mother, I remember she would have to save up for a while to treat herself to skincare products. But almost every time, she would end up wasting all that money because her sensitive skin couldn't stand all the fragrances, harsh chemicals and other irritants.
I encountered the same exact issues in my own skincare journey. I’d hear from girlfriends all the time, “Hey, try this! It works so fast!” But I found that because the product wasn’t designed for sensitive skin, it was filled with irritants that actually made my skin worse. I felt left out and frustrated.
And this isn’t just an issue for people with chronic skin sensitivity...
My best friend Vriko always had typical combination skin and didn't experience any skin sensitivity for a long time. But after lots of time spent traveling and using whatever harsh products were trending, she suddenly started to experience all kinds of different skin issues herself.
We both came to realize that achieving glowing skin would never come from the latest fad ingredient, but rather from starting with skin health. Real skin has texture, fine lines and pores and that’s perfectly normal and beautiful. Together, we wanted to create a skincare brand that reflected this reality instead of feeding into unrealistic goals.
Today, HerbsOil offers skincare products with effective formulas that are gentle yet effective for sensitive skin and restore healthy skin to reveal a natural glow and revive your Skinationship™.

Sensitive skin is a reminder to spend the little extra time we need on ourselves. When we use the ingredients that work with us instead of against us, our skin can become the best version of itself.
