Are Handmade Products Better For You?

Skincare is a deeply personal choice, and with so many options available, it can feel overwhelming to find products that align with your values and needs. Most importantly, finding products that consistently work over time. Handmade skincare offers an alternative to mass produced options, many people are drawn to its natural, small-batch appeal.

At Minerva, we aim to create products for those seeking thoughtful, high quality skincare. Here’s a closer look at why handmade skincare products might be worth considering for your routine.

Real Ingredients, No Surprises

Handmade Skincare is about using real natural ingredients your skin will love. Ingredients such as raw shea butter, argan oil and herbal extracts are known for their nourishing properties and might suit a range of skin types. We believe your skincare should be as simple and nourishing as your favorite home-cooked meal.

A Personal Touch

Handmade skincare products are often crafted in small batches, which allows for higher attention to detail that some larger-scale manufacturers may not offer. This approach allows the maker to create formulas tailored to address specific concerns, such as dryness, sensitivity or irritation. For those who value skincare that feels more personal, handmade options could be an attractive choice.

Good For Your Skin and Good for the Planet

Sustainability continues to be a growing priority for many customers. From minimal, eco friendly packaging to mindful production practices, we keep the planet in mind while making our products. Our body bars are wrapped in recyclable paper that can be repurposed as a bookmark or fancy scrap paper for your grocery list. The jars used for our body butter and candles can be recycled as a storage jar, a planter, or a pen holder for your desk. We constantly strive to find more eco-conscious ways to produce and ship our products for you. Sustainability is a core value at Minerva Skincare. 

Supporting Small Businesses

Handmade skincare products are often created by small business owners or independent makers. At Minerva Skincare, we are proud of our Latin American Woman Owned roots that began in a narrow kitchen in Queens, NY. Your purchase matters and is part of something bigger than just a jar of body butter. It fuels the dreams of creative entrepreneurs and has a direct impact that allows us to generously give back to those in need because YOU chose to shop small.

Choosing handmade skincare isn’t just a better choice for your skin. It’s a better choice for you. It’s about making self-care a priority and investing in your own health so you can better show up for others. Ready to see and feel the difference for yourself?
