About Us
We believe in the power of plants!
Over the years, we discovered that our skin and body was starting to react differently to our favorite products. We were told this is normal with use and age. However, one summer, we applied our go to bug spray and were left with extremely painful HIVES!
After a few doctor's visits, we were told we were allergic to one of the main ingredients: DEET! The doctor said we had two options: deal with the hives, or just don't go outside. Obviously neither one of these were a real option for us, so we set forth on the long journey to create our own bug spray. And after two years of formulating, testing, and restarting, we found one!
This kickstarted our love for finding ways to create our beloved products we could no longer use due to new allergies or skin issues. Not only that, but the more we started crafting our own products, the more we realized how many ingredients are in our every day stuff that we can't pronounce, let alone know what they were! This was unsettling to realize, given that our skin is our largest organ and what goes on it, goes inside us. We took comfort in knowing exactly what went into us.
Thus OCCULTADORA was born!
After years of being just word of mouth, we decided to make a name for ourselves in the world of homecrafted products and grow!
