The skincare industry is stronger than ever thanks to the continued demand from those of us who desire to look at our most beautiful and youthful of all, no matter how much time ticks on. Browse any department store or online beauty boutique and you’ll be dazzled by the vast array of choices available, including skincare products of all kinds from cleansers, moisturisers, and serums, to cosmetics such as foundations, eyeshadows, and mascaras. However, a quick look at the labels on these products will often show us anything but natural ingredients. Words we can’t even pronounce adorn the lengthy lists, making us wonder what exactly we’re putting on our sensitive faces?
LORDE Beauty
Fortunately, there’s been a shift in the beauty industry recently and the demand from customers for more natural options across the board, from what we eat to the products we use to care for our skin and look our best, is now higher than ever. And that’s how LORDE Beauty was born, from a desire to provide people with only the best natural ingredients found organically on earth. By bringing together a select number of luxurious and prestigious brands LORDE simplifies beauty, offering luxury natural skincare and couture cosmetics that do exactly what they promise they will do.
Omorovicza Spa
As well as their hugely popular international online store LORDE Beauty has recently been chosen as only the second independent beauty retailer in the US to be an Omorovicza Spa, this will sit alongside their exclusive cosmetics store in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The Brains Behind LORDE
LORDE was brought to life by beauty expert Rachel Williams (pictured below). Rachel had spent years as a makeup artist and esthetician working with top models and celebrities, and through this work began to wonder why there was no transparency or accountability when it came to the ingredients in the products she used on other women and herself.
Then in 2014, while spending the day hiking in The Great Smoky Mountains with her family, Rachel had an epiphany when three inspirational words Beauty. Power. Love. came into her head, it was clear to her that these words would serve as the driving force behind her brand and would forever shape the mission and philosophy that embodies LORDE.
Rachel turned her vision into reality and now offers only the most refined natural skincare and cosmetics to a worldwide client base. Her firm belief that you can get the best results for your skin without compromising your health is what has propelled LORDE to success.
Natural Products for Natural Beauty
LORDE’s product ranges have all been created naturally, without harmful ingredients, whilst still delivering excellent results. Rachel gives her own expert approval of each collection to ensure success in looking at your best. Discover the incredible brands behind LORDE Beauty, and Rachel’s favourite items from each one:-
