From Nurse to Natural Skincare: A Journey of Care, Compassion & Connection


Hello, I’m Amanda-founder of Natural Zest Skincare.
With more than 25 years as a Registered Nurse, caring has always come naturally to me. My work has taught me that true wellness isn’t found in quick fixes - it’s cultivated through consistent, mindful acts of self-care that nurture both body and mind.
My path into skincare began with my own quiet struggle-dry, sensitive, and reactive skin that left me feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. Like many women, I turned to makeup for confidence, but deep down, I longed for a solution that was gentle on my skin, not just cosmetic.
Combining my nursing knowledge with formal training in Organic Skincare Formulation and Aromatherapy, I began creating small-batch, natural products designed to calm, restore, and support skin health - without compromise.
At Natural Zest, every formulation is made with mindful intention, using ingredients chosen not only for their proven skin health benefits, but for their sensory qualities - how they soothe, uplift, and restore your sense of wellbeing. Every ingredient has a purpose, and every product is made with your health and wellness in mind. Your skincare isn't just about your beauty - it's about your health, and you can't have beauty without health. I want to empower women to reconnect with their skin, their senses and themselves - to experience skincare as an act of self-care - not correction.

I firmly believe that what we put on our skin matters. That’s why every product is free from chemicals, synthetic ingredients, and hormone disruptors. Unlike many skincare brands, our formulations are never watered down-our main ingredient is never water, but carefully selected botanicals and skin-loving actives.

At Natural Zest, skin health and well-being are our priority. I am passionate about helping people feel good about themselves, and I love seeing the transformations-not just in a person's skin but in their confidence. My goal is to empower you to feel a little more radiant, a little more ‘you,’ and always ready to face the world with a natural, vibrant zest for life.
Natural Zest is more than skincare-it’s a commitment to purity, confidence, and the power of nature.
