I created these face oils after years of deep research and self-taught herbalism. I’ve spent countless hours studying the properties of botanicals—how they interact with the skin, how they complement each other, and how they support specific concerns like dryness, dullness, inflammation, and aging. Every formula is rooted in that knowledge and created with purpose.
For the Eternal Hydration Face Oil, I carefully selected a blend of around 15 plant-based carrier and essential oils. Each one was chosen for how it supports dry or mature skin—oils like avocado, jojoba, rosehip, argan, and sea buckthorn nourish deeply, while pomegranate seed and evening primrose help protect and renew the skin barrier. I also include essential oils like lavender, frankincense, neroli, and helichrysum for their regenerative, calming, and anti-inflammatory properties.
To get the formula just right, I hand-batched around 50 to 100 test blends—adjusting the measurements drop by drop until the consistency, scent, and skin feel were exactly what I envisioned. Once perfected, I mixed the final formula by hand, bottled each one myself, and applied the custom-designed hemp labels I created. Every bottle is packaged by me using dried moss, a natural and biodegradable alternative to plastic fillers.
It’s an entirely hands-on, heart-led process—from sourcing clean ingredients from trusted suppliers like Eden Botanicals and Mountain Rose Herbs to personally preparing every bottle that leaves my studio. Circe’s Secret is a reflection of my love for plants, slow beauty, and skincare that truly supports your skin.
Hi, I’m Sophie, the founder of Circe’s Secret. I started this journey two years after graduating college, driven by a passion for clean, intentional living and a deep curiosity about the world around me. Traveling to different countries has opened my eyes to the beauty of diverse cultures and traditional practices, many of which inspire the heart of this business.
Circe’s Secret is more than a skincare brand—it's a bridge between global and local communities. I’m committed to sourcing ingredients responsibly and ethically, and my long-term vision is to partner directly with small farms in the regions where each ingredient originates. By doing so, I aim to support the people and ecosystems that sustain these natural resources—just like we support small businesses here at home.
When I’m not blending botanicals, you can find me hiking, surrounded by nature, tending to plants, or sharing time with family, friends, and the community I love. Nature is my teacher, and every product I create reflects its wisdom.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
