Skincare should be a peak sensory experience that provides a healthy way to indulge yourself. Creating a good mood is a great way to feel beautiful, naturally. I firmly believe that one of the best ways to achieve true beauty is through antioxidant rich, organic chocolate—lifting your mood, exciting your senses, and nourishing your skin. My taste for chocolate and background in esthetics were the catalysts for my line of premium skin care products, Sweet Beauty.

Growing up with a French mother, I was introduced to the importance of daily skincare at an early age. I remember being the only pre-teen in my social circle that practiced a professional skin care regimen. When I decided to make skincare a career at the age of 22 it was a natural transition. My interest in beauty grew alongside my fondness for really good chocolate, and I dreamt that someday I would be able to combine these two passions.

I discovered a way to indulge both interests while pursuing a diploma with Cidesco, the world’s most prestigious qualification in the field of Esthetics. By that time I was already an accomplished amateur chocolatier and firm in my belief that chocolate is a healthful treat. I wrote my thesis on chocolate and its potential as the ultimate spa ingredient. This research proved successful, and inspired me to develop a line of chocolate spa treatment recipes, which have evolved into the core line of Sweet Beauty products.

In 2006 I toured Seattle’s gourmet chocolate company, Theo Chocolate. Their enthusiasm and success ignited my desire to become a gourmet skincare specialist and entrepreneur. I’m proud to use their chocolate as a key ingredient in Sweet Beauty products. And I’m delighted to offer some of the finest, most unique skincare products available.
