In light of Mother’s Day, we wanted to share the story of mother & daughter duo, Margaret and Abi Weeds, who founded their beauty brand to help those who suffer from sensitive skin. Like any company that wants to truly make a difference, Odylique has a great story…
A powerful purpose…
Driven by determination, it all started with Margaret tinkering with skin-friendly concoctions to help soothe her and her family’s incredibly sensitive skin. With only conventional and prescription skincare readily available (often packed with petroleum, artificial additives and other skin irritants), Margaret was confident she could find answers through natural ingredients. Armed with her exceptional herbal knowledge and belief in the capabilities of nature, she started experimenting using only organic herbs, plant oils and natural active ingredients. The result was a small range of gentle yet effective formulas that worked wonders on the family’s collective skin complaints.
The mother&daughter powerhouse…
With a passion for the power of natural skincare, Margaret and her daughter Abi co-founded Odylique, which proudly remains one of the first companies to create certified organic cosmetics. Now with over 30 years of experience, they provide skincare and makeup that is formulated with a blend of organic herbs, plant oils, natural active ingredients and vitamin-rich botanicals to help nourish and soothe the skin on both the face and body. To this day, every single one of Odylique’s products is handmade, which makes them unique in the skincare world and able to promise the highest quality and freshness for everything they make.
