A Note from Frances, Founder of Kindred Skincare Co.
I never set out to create a skincare company. But life—with its unexpected turns—led me here, and I’ve fallen completely in love with the work.
Kindred is a blend of everything I care about: clean, effective formulas made by hand… the precision of chemistry, the beauty of nature, and the joy of meaningful care.
My background in engineering and my lifelong love of the outdoors come together in every product I create. What started as a personal solution for my highly sensitive skin has become a labor of love shared by thousands.
Every product is hand-batched in my lab on our farm in Pennsylvania, using the highest quality ingredients I can find—and always with an eye toward sustainability, transparency, and soul.My inspiration?
Nature, especially the healing philosophy of Shinrin-yoku—forest bathing—which I embraced long before it became a trend. I’ve even trademarked Shinrin™ as a guiding principle for our most calming, grounding products.
Also: you. The Kindred community continues to inspire, challenge, and encourage me every day.
Thank you for being part of it.
xo, Frances
