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 my deep love for animals.
My journey began with personal health challenges and a gift from my mother—Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A. Balch. That book ignited a lifelong fascination with the healing power of nutrients, botanicals, and functional medicine. While I earned a degree in nutrition, I ultimately spent the past two decades helping medical professionals integrate regenerative therapies, peptides, and specialty testing to treat the root causes of disease.
Skincare has been a love of mine since childhood. I vividly remember sneaking off to read Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me by Paula Begoun—her deep dives into ingredient decks and product effectiveness lit a spark in me that never faded.
Bonjour Delilah was inspired—quite literally—by my dog Delilah, who likes to lick every cream I apply. That made me question what I was putting on my skin. It led me to grass-fed tallow: a nourishing, non-toxic ingredient rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. When I began using it, I was amazed by the results. But even more meaningful was the philosophy behind it. I believe in honoring the whole animal, and using tallow—rather than discarding it—feels like an act of reverence and respect.
Most tallow products I tried were greasy, heavy, or didn’t smell appealing. I wanted to create something elevated. Something indulgent. Something transformative. I had a growing list of ingredients I would use if I were ever to create a skincare line. That brings us to today, where I’ve chosen to pursue my passion and follow my dream—blending tallow with science-backed actives and botanical treasures to create something truly special.
La Crème du Luxe Body is that vision brought to life: a decadently creamy, anti-aging body cream that melts into skin, leaves it glowing, and envelops you in a sweet, uplifting orange vanilla scent. It combines the best of science and nature in a clean beauty formula that feels as luxurious as it is effective. It’s more than a moisturizer—it’s a ritual. A luxurious moment of self-care that nourishes your skin and feeds your spirit.
Each product transcends the realm of routine and becomes a sensory experience you look forward to. The glow it gives becomes your signature.
Bonjour Delilah is dedicated to the loves of my life—my beloved dogs, Baby and Delilah. This brand is a passion project and the realization of a dream. With an unshakeable belief in the transformative power of clean skincare and a profound love for animals, Bonjour Delilah donates $1 from every product sold to 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.
