About Us

It Started with a Mother’s Search for Gentler Skincare

Olive + Sage began with a simple question: could skincare be both beautifully
effective and thoughtfully formulated for sensitive skin?

“Every ingredient is chosen with intention for the role it plays in
supporting the look and feel of the skin.”

My Journey to Olive + Sage

As a mother of three, I became increasingly mindful of the products I used
in my home and on my family’s skin. After struggling to find formulas that
felt simple, transparent, and genuinely nourishing, I began researching
ingredients and creating small batches of my own at home.

What started as a personal search grew into Olive + Sage in 2019. I still
handcraft each product in small batches using purposeful oils, butters,
botanical extracts, and carefully selected ingredients. Each ingredient is
chosen with intention for the role it plays in supporting the look and feel
of the skin.

I created this collection especially with sensitive, redness-prone, dry,
and mature skin in mind. My philosophy remains simple: every ingredient
should have a clear reason for being there.

Our Formulation Philosophy


  • Waterless where possible.
    Many of our creams, balms, and facial oils are made without added water,
    creating concentrated formulas where a little goes a long way.

  • Thoughtfully preserved when necessary.
    When a formula contains water, it is preserved appropriately to help
    maintain its quality, freshness, and safety.

  • No synthetic fragrance.
    We do not use synthetic fragrance, allowing the natural character of our
    carefully selected ingredients to shine through.

  • Small-batch integrity.
    Every batch is prepared with close attention to texture, consistency,
    freshness, and detail.

Purposeful Botanical Ingredients

From aloe vera and blue tansy to nourishing plant oils and rich botanical
butters, each ingredient is chosen with intention. I focus on creating
formulas that help your skin feel soft, comfortable, moisturized, and cared
for—without exaggerated promises or unnecessary complexity.

I also believe skincare should feel approachable rather than confusing.
That is why we provide clear ingredient lists, straightforward product
descriptions, and personal guidance to help you choose formulas that suit
your skin and preferences.

Made with Transparency and Care

My goal is not to promise overnight perfection. It is to create thoughtful
botanical skincare that supports healthy-looking, radiant skin through
consistent, gentle care.

Every Olive + Sage product reflects the same values that inspired my first
batch: purposeful ingredients, honest information, small-batch
craftsmanship, and a deep respect for your skin.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Story

Olive + Sage has grown through the trust, feedback, and encouragement of
customers like you. Every order supports our small, family-founded business
and allows us to continue creating products with the same care and
intention that inspired me from the beginning.

I am so grateful you are here, and I truly hope you find something that
feels beautifully suited to your skin.

Why We Do What We Do

Thoughtfully selected oils, butters, and botanical ingredients, each chosen for a clear role in the formula.

🤍 Sensitive-Skin Minded

Transparent formulas created with sensitive, redness-prone, and dry skin in mind.

Simple + Intentional

Are Olive + Sage products only for women?

Not at all. Olive + Sage is made for anyone seeking thoughtful botanical skincare. Because everyone’s skin is different, we recommend reviewing each product’s full ingredient list and choosing the formula best suited to your needs.

Many of our waterless creams, balms, and facial oils can be made without the traditional preservative systems required for water-based products. When a formula contains water, it is thoughtfully preserved to help maintain its safety and quality. We do not use synthetic fragrance.

Yes. Several of our lightweight oils, serums, and moisturizers are created with combination and blemish-prone skin in mind. Each product description explains its texture, essential-oil content, and recommended skin types to help you choose confidently.

Store products tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Use clean, dry hands or a cosmetic spatula when applying products from a jar, and follow any product-specific storage guidance on the label.
