We're More Than Clean Beauty
What happens when you keep trying to find the right skincare but never do? For good friends Lisa and Nathalie, the frustration meant taking matters into their own hands.
Lisa Larson Murphy & Nathalie Yavonditte Co-Founders
Starling’s backstory was born out of its co-founders’ special skincare needs and their shared desire to use clean, chemical-free ingredients. Lisa had chronic immune deficiencies, sensitive skin, and numerous food allergies that impacted her skin health; Nathalie faced her own allergy struggles due to chemicals used in products. Both experienced highly sensitized skin and were prone to nasty stuff such as chronic eczema and dermatitis.
But despite several years of trying different products, neither Lisa nor Nathalie was able to find skincare that worked for them — even in the clean beauty space. Something needed to change, and they decided to be that change. The result is Starling Skincare, a company designed for people with sensitive and allergenic skin who want clean, plant-based solution-focused products that work. Their mission was to create the SAFEST skincare line available for people who need it.
Starling products are always cruelty-free and made with ethically sourced ingredients. Because we are water-free and plant-based, our skincare is good for you and good for the planet, too.
