We're More Than Clean Beauty

What happens when you keep trying to find the right skincare but never do? For Lisa and Nathalie, the frustration meant taking matters into their own hands, and getting it right for others just like them.

Starling Skincare Learn About Our Mission. Allergen free skincare. CoFounders Lisa Larson Murphy and Nathalie Yavonditte

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 painfully sensitized skin, rosacea, chronic eczema, acne and dermatitis.

Despite 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.
