born from generations of skincare traditions

Written by BLK Oceans staff

Charla Jones, Founder and CEO of eu2be, started formulating her brand in 2012, around the time when indie beauty brands were taking center stage.

Through her line of transformative skincare products, she honors the legacy of her stylish, world-traveling aunt Eugenia and her nana. These inspiring women were less focused on “the arithmetic of beauty” and more on their birthright to define their beauty and seize beauty in everyday life.

“Nature designed us in a way that caring for our skin is a conducive regimen for caring for the body and the person we are to become,” says Jones.

We caught up with Jones to learn more about her story and her game-changing brand.

Tell us more about why you started eu2be:

“I believe our bodies are implicated in our emotional life, not just our physical one. So our bodies need more than marketing tropes of trendy miracle ingredients. They need to feel cared for, which is why I devised a rare blend of powerful biomimetic carrier oils—prized through generations of skincare traditions, practices and wisdoms to design our transformative skincare products.

This is why I founded eu2be—to illuminate the necessity of beauty and wellness in our lives—and it’s why people say our products have transformed how they feel about their skin.”

How is eu2be changing the beauty landscape?

“Unlike most other body care products, eu2be’s high-performing, multi-tasking products aren't highly fragrant or composed of the ubiquitous ingredients of coconut oil, shea butter, and essential oils.

Sustainably sourced from around the world, eu2be products are formulated with powerful biomimetic carrier oils that sink into skin easily, hydrate deeply, and instantly deliver eu2be’s impressive and superior crowd-pleasing benefits.

‘You to be’ treasures who you are and the skin that you have with best-in-class biomimetic carrier oils and proven science to deliver luxurious, moisturizing, regenerative premium face-grade skin care that discerning consumers demand.”

What does the future hold for eu2be?

Please stay tuned to see the debut of more eu2be skincare favorites in our reimagined sustainable packaging. We look forward to expanding our online presence like being available here on BLK Oceans and you’ll find us on more brick and mortar shelves.

As we take our relaunch to the next level, you’ll continue to see us deepen our connections with the arts.
