WHY BONJOUR DELILAH

My interest in the healing power of nutrition began with my health challenges and my desire to heal and nurture. A pivotal moment came when my mother gifted me Phyllis A. Balch's book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," which unveiled the transformative potential of food, vitamins, minerals, and botanicals. Motivated by a deep desire to share this knowledge, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and delved into holistic health and wellness. Instead of becoming a nutritionist, I’ve spent the past two decades selling products such as stem cells, peptides, specialty functional lab testing, and nutraceuticals to medical providers. It’s been incredibly fulfilling to provide them with tools that help their patients address the root causes of their health issues, allowing them to heal rather than just putting Band-Aids on symptoms.

In addition to my passion for health, I’ve also been fascinated with skincare since I was little. I remember going to my childhood friend's house so I could read her copy of Paula Begoun's book, "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me." That ignited a real passion for diving into ingredient decks. Paula would go through every product's ingredient list, analyzing the ingredients and determining if the pH was appropriate for it to be effective and not irritating.

Bonjour Delilah epitomizes the pinnacle of luxury in non-toxic skincare. As funny as it sounds, it was inspired by one of my precious dogs, Delilah. Her discerning palate, evidenced by her penchant for sampling every lotion I've applied, unearthed a realization of the need for skincare products that not only boast safety and non-toxicity but also demonstrate tangible efficacy. As a result of her licking, I started using tallow on my skin as it's non-toxic and a rich trove of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

My quest for wellness once took me on a vegetarian odyssey, only to find myself deficient in several critical nutrients and struggling with health challenges. When I began to incorporate grass-fed beef into my diet, my health improved. I cherish the ethos that nothing should ever go to waste and thus, I reverently embrace grass-fed tallow as an irreplaceable, sustainable ingredient.

Unfortunately, the tallow products I tried didn’t smell particularly good and were greasy. However, I didn't want to make just another tallow balm. Recognizing the synergy of natural and synthetic ingredients and the desire for products that smell great, feel amazing, and perform, I embarked on creating a skincare line that harmoniously combines non-toxic organic elements with cutting-edge actives. I wanted to create something special and unique.

I added an abundance of amazing ingredients such as Organic Buriti Oil (a natural, non-irritating retinol), Green Caviar Oil (for free radical defense), and Organic Raspberry Seed Oil (for natural UV protection) to really pack a punch. And because I love peptides so much, I had to make a serum, Élixir Jeunesse, packed to the brim with botanicals, peptides, and patented actives such as Octapeptide S8, Citrustem, and Collagen Prepeptide that have been clinically shown to increase collagen, reduce wrinkles by modulating the SNARE complex, redensify the dermis structure, and so much more.

This fusion encapsulates the best of both worlds, offering products that celebrate the brilliance of nature while leveraging scientific innovation for optimal skin nourishment, ensuring transformative results with each use. Skincare is more than just surface beauty; it’s about nurturing a living, breathing organ.

Each product transcends the realm of a simple skincare routine; it becomes a luxurious moment of self-care you eagerly anticipate, delighting all your senses. The nourishment, hydration, and transformative power of my formulations bestow a healthy, dewy glow that becomes your signature. It's the radiance that you'll proudly wear and others will envy.

Today, Bonjour Delilah is dedicated to the loves of my life, my beloved dogs, Baby and Delilah. It stands as a passion project and the realization of a dream. With an unshakeable belief in the transformative power of clean products and a profound love for animals, Bonjour Delilah is dedicated to making a meaningful impact, pledging to donate $1 for every product sold to support animal rescue charities. Together, let's not only embrace the luxury of radiant skin but also contribute to a world where every dog finds a loving home.
