“Changing my diet, omitting Coconut Oil from my skincare regimen and using the foods that I eat in my soaps has been a world difference in my overall skin behavior and eczema management.” -Kimberly Waldropt
With a Jamaican/Trinidadian/British upbringing, Kimberly was taught by her mother, who ran her own soap/candle company for 20yrs; how to make soap at the age of 9. She was raised learning the importance of fresh produce, superfoods and the large roles they play in leading a clean, healthy, holistic lifestyle. As well as obtaining the habits of correctly disposing of waste, living plastic-free and composting.
In her adult life, this FIT grad was a NYC Technical Designer in the garment industry, and constantly surrounded by pollution, trash, waste and lack environmental concern. Overtime, Kimberly developed a love for ethically made products of all sorts and the purchase of any product using harmful packaging was not an option. But living on Long Island, her home was a little ‘nature oasis’ that her mother gardens which always keeps her grounded and appreciative for mother earth.
In 2015, Kimberly developed an allergy to skincare products that contained poorly processed Coconut Oil as a main ingredient. She took the skill she knew for 20 years and formulated a soap product omitting Coconut Oil. By providing this product, she’s met the needs of many individuals with the same allergy.
By omitting the cheapest ingredient in the soap industry, coconut oil and palm oil, and adding high quality superfoods like sea moss, papaya, avocados, turmeric and more she created TERRA-TORY Skincare.
TERRA-TORY Skincare is a 100% All Natural, Handmade, Synthetic, Derivative-free, Coconut/Palm Oil-Free, ‘effective’ skin care that includes skin loving, nourishing and healing ingredients you can pronounce & eat.
