Our Journey

Six Twenty Skincare was born from a journey of resilience, connection, and deep respect for nature. Inspired by our Indigenous heritage, we’re guided by a commitment to healing not only the skin but also the spirit. For us, skincare isn’t just about the surface—it’s a blend of ancestral wisdom, modern biocompatibility, and a connection to the earth that runs generations deep.

As co-founders, we each bring unique gifts to Six Twenty, shaped by the love and legacy of our families. Jenny’s great-grandmothers and grandmother instilled in her a deep reverence for plants and self-sufficiency. Through them, she learned that healing begins with the land and that nurturing oneself often starts with simplicity and resourcefulness. I, too, carry forward my father’s resilience and the lessons he passed down—a constant reminder that life’s challenges are opportunities for growth.

Our Mission

At Six Twenty, our mission is to create skincare products that honor biocompatibility, sustainability, and the strength within us all. We believe in connecting you to the rhythms of nature and the richness of ancestral knowledge, offering a line that harmonizes with your skin’s natural cycles. Every product is crafted with this intention, inviting you to experience skincare that’s as nurturing as it is powerful.

Our Expertise and Skillset

Our work with Six Twenty is informed by years of professional experience across various fields, each contributing to the depth and quality of our products:

• Indigenous Ecological Knowledge (IEK): Our approach is rooted in Indigenous science, blending observation, plant knowledge, and intergenerational wisdom passed down orally and experientially. This expertise shapes our product formulations, focusing on ingredients like sweetgrass, bison tallow, and other traditional elements.

• Biocompatible Skincare Formulation: We bring a unique skillset in developing biocompatible skincare, blending ingredients that naturally support the skin’s own repair and renewal processes. Each formulation is crafted with care, allowing our products to be both gentle and effective.

• Professional Backgrounds in Ethnobotany and Herbalism: Our background in ethnobotany and herbalism has given us a nuanced understanding of plants and their benefits. Jenny’s training in herbalism adds depth to our formulas, ensuring that every product respects both the plants and the people who use them.

• Community Engagement and Education: We believe that knowledge shared is knowledge grown. Through workshops, writings, and educational outreach, we’re committed to helping others reconnect with the land and the traditions that nurture well-being.

• Sustainable Business Practices: As entrepreneurs, we’re dedicated to building a company that values sustainability, ethical sourcing, and community. Every product is created with intention, ensuring that our environmental impact is minimal and our ingredients are sourced responsibly.

What We Bring to the Table

Our “table” is more than just skincare; it’s a place where legacy, expertise, and authenticity meet. We bring a blend of skills, deep-rooted values, and a genuine passion for creating something meaningful. Each product at Six Twenty is crafted with a purpose: to share a bit of our journey with you, to support your own, and to remind you of the strength and beauty within.

We invite you to join us on this path, to experience the healing nature of our products, and to connect with a story that honors both past and future. At Six Twenty, we believe that we’re all connected by the land, by resilience, and by the desire to care deeply—for ourselves, for each other, and for the world around us.
