Hi! 👋 I'm Gillian, founder of Bonjour Delilah.
I’m so glad you’re here. 💗
WHY BONJOUR DELILAH
Bonjour Delilah was born at the intersection of my greatest passions — wellness, skincare, and a deep love for animals.
What began as my own healing journey evolved into a mission to create luxurious, non-toxic skincare that nourishes both skin and soul. Inspired early by holistic health and the book Prescription for Nutritional Healing, I developed a lifelong fascination with the power of nutrients, botanicals, and functional medicine.
After earning a degree in nutrition and spending two decades helping medical professionals embrace regenerative therapies — from supplements and functional lab testing to peptides and stem cells — my path came full circle: from healing to creation.
FROM PASSION TO PURPOSE
My love for skincare deepened years ago when I read Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me by Paula Begoun — a book that taught me to read ingredient decks with discernment and curiosity.
That awareness evolved into a passion for creating formulas that are both luxurious and effective. Inspired by my dog Delilah — who would lovingly lick every cream I applied — I began questioning what I was putting on my skin.
That simple moment sparked the vision for Bonjour Delilah: a collection of high-performance, non-toxic skincare rooted in science, nature, and intention.
A NEW STANDARD IN BODY CARE
Determined to reimagine tallow beyond its traditional form, I created La Crème du Luxe Body — a face-grade treatment that delivers deep moisture, radiance, and visible firmness.
Each formula blends nutrient-rich, grass-fed tallow with phyto-actives like CoQ10, Niacinamide, and our proprietary CaviarCell™ Complex — a marine innovation inspired by green caviar algae.
For me, using tallow is both a commitment to sustainability and a way to honor the animal — transforming what might otherwise be discarded into something beautiful and healing. Every jar is a ritual that nourishes skin and spirit while supporting animal rescue organizations in honor of my beloved dogs, Baby and Delilah.
