From Beauty Lover to Skin Health Advocate

My journey into esthetics started with a simple love—all things beauty. But what began as a passion for skincare and makeup quickly evolved into something much deeper when I started studying the science behind it all.

Your skin is your largest organ. Once I truly understood that, everything changed. I realized that what we put on our skin matters just as much as what we put in our bodies. I became obsessed with ingredients, formulations, and understanding how skin actually works—not just how to make it look good temporarily.

The Problem I Kept Seeing

After 12 years as a licensed esthetician, I was frustrated. I was tired of recommending $80 serums that did the same thing as $12 facial oils. I watched clients struggle to afford the "luxury" skincare they were told they needed, while these same products were packed with harsh ingredients, microplastics, and fillers all wrapped in more plastic packaging.

It didn't make sense. Why were we paying premium prices for products that weren't premium quality? Why was sustainability an afterthought? Why was clean skincare only accessible to people with disposable income?

I've always wanted to be an entrepreneur, and I kept thinking: What would I have wanted when I was a teenager or young adult—trying to take care of my skin but overwhelmed by choices and prices?

The answer was clear: something different.

Creating Corazon

I created Corazon to be everything I would have purchased for myself—and everything I confidently recommend to my clients now.

What Makes Corazon Different:

🌿 Clean, Ethically Sourced Ingredients No parabens, sulfates, microplastics, or harsh chemicals. Just safe, effective ingredients that actually work.

♻️ Sustainable, Recyclable Packaging Every Corazon product comes in UV-protective violet glass bottles. This isn't just pretty—it's functional. UV glass protects the formulation from the sun's harsh rays, preserving potency and extending shelf life naturally without synthetic preservatives.

💚 Cruelty-Free & Small Batch Never tested on animals. Handcrafted in small batches in California to ensure quality and freshness.

💰 Honest Pricing Professional-grade skincare at prices that actually make sense. No inflated "luxury" markup. Just real results at real prices.

My Philosophy

Skincare doesn't have to be overly complicated.

You don't need 12 steps or a medicine cabinet full of products. You need a few high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients that are safe for your skin and actually deliver results.

That's what Corazon is: simple, effective, and honest skincare that respects both your skin and the planet.

Why "Corazon"?

Corazon means "heart" in Spanish. I named this brand Corazon because I put my whole heart into creating products I'm proud of products that align with my values and the values of people who care about what they're putting on their skin.

This isn't just a business to me. It's my mission to make clean, professional skincare accessible to everyone whether you're a teenager buying your first facial oil or someone who's been searching for something better.
