Mayfield Glow Founder Talks Winter Dryness & Non-toxic Beauty
Written By BLK Oceans Staff
Mayfield Glow is a luxe vegan skincare line based on family tradition, wellness, and rituals. With a focus on the health of the planet as well as your skin, CEO Stephanie Atkinson sets a high standard. All products are paraben and sulfate free, never tested on animals, and arrive in eco-friendly packaging.
We sat down with Atkinson to learn more about the genesis of her brand, how to combat winter dryness, self care, and the future of Mayfield Glow.
Who inspired you to launch a clean beauty line?
“The history of Mayfield Glow actually started after being inspired by my mom’s skincare routine and the effects of the pandemic that sent me into a deep depression. My daughters and I wanted to have a “Self Care Play date” as a little pick me up. My daughter, four at the time, was using products I had purchased at the local pharmacy and had an allergic reaction. I started looking up all the ingredients in the product and was so shocked at how many were actually toxic! It instantly inspired me to create a clean beauty line. Each product I created helped me out of my slump. Every day I would do my own self-care routine which changed my life and inspired me to change the lives of others.”
“Our mission is to provide luxury skincare that is not harmful!”
With winter coming up, can you tell us which products would be ideal to beat dryness?
“I would have to say our Golden Goddess Oil. It’s really the OG of hydrating your skin! It works perfect for all skin types and has the ultimate glow factor. Just a few of the benefits include,
Adds extra nourishment and deeply moisturizes
Helps soothe eczema
Promotes collagen
Acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps with acne
Gives your skin a beautiful glow
Anti-aging capabilities that reduce wrinkles and fine lines
How do you make time for beauty self care?
“It’s really all about routine. I feel like it’s so easy to put ourselves last. Whether it’s our job, or family, or school. There’s always something to do. But how can we take care of everyone and everything when we don’t take care of ourselves first? When we do our self care it actually lets off positive endorphins. With skincare it’s a win, win. It’s not only going to make you feel good but look good, too!”
