About Us

 Welcome to CircleLife Skin Food — a woman-owned, nurse-founded natural skincare brand dedicated to creating handcrafted, synthetic-free, and cruelty-free skincare that truly nourishes your skin. Every formula is made with purpose, integrity, and the belief that what you don’t put on your skin matters just as much as what you do.

Founded in 2018 by Cyndi Gauthier, R.N. and Certified Aromatherapist, CircleLife Skin Food was born from a passion for wellness, a love of nature, and a commitment to safer, more honest skincare for all.

At CircleLife Skin Food, our mission is simple: to create fresh, truly natural, affordable, and highly effective skincare that helps you age beautifully—with grace, dignity, and none of the “anti-aging” beauty B.S. that floods the cosmetics industry.

Our cruelty-free, synthetic-free skincare is handcrafted in small batches by Cyndi Gauthier, R.N., B.S.N., and Level 2 Certified Professional Aromatherapist. Each formula is thoughtfully designed with pure, plant-based ingredients (with the exception of ethically harvested local beeswax) —organic and non-GMO carrier oils, nourishing butters, natural waxes, clays, and essential oils that are responsibly sourced and rigorously tested for purity. Many products feature herbs lovingly grown and dried right here in our CircleLife garden in Westminster, MA.

We proudly live by our tagline: “Ingredients Matter.” Because what you put on your skin, goes into your body.

As both a nurse and a mother, my concern for the cumulative effects of environmental toxins on human health has never been greater. The U.S. cosmetics industry remains poorly regulated, allowing questionable ingredients—endocrine disruptors, formaldehyde releasers, neurotoxins, and even carcinogens—to appear in everyday products. Companies can even hide harmful chemicals behind the term “fragrance” under outdated “trade secret” laws.

Rather than spending my life deciphering chemical labels, I decided to take action. I poured my nursing background and aromatherapy education into developing synthetic-free, skin-nourishing alternatives that are safe, effective, and honest.

I’m a proud graduate of the Aromahead Institute School of Essential Oil Studies (235+ hours of instruction) and a NAHA Level 2 Certified Professional Aromatherapist. My ongoing education ensures that every formula I create is based on both science and integrity.

CircleLife Skin Food began as a small, home-based business and has grown thanks to an amazing community of loyal, enthusiastic repeat customers who continually share how much our products have improved their skin—and their confidence. Their gratitude fuels everything I do.

This is a small, family-run business, and our success relies on word of mouth, genuine care, and products that deliver on their promise. Thank you for being part of our CircleLife. 🌿

Our products are only as good as the ingredients we put in them—so we choose our suppliers with care. “Ingredients Matter” isn’t just our tagline; it’s our commitment to you.

We completely avoid synthetic chemicals and cheap fillers. Instead, we partner with trusted suppliers who provide organic, non-GMO plant butters, carrier oils, and essential oils that meet strict testing standards for purity. Each batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and GC/MS testing to verify authenticity and safety.

In 2019, CircleLife partnered with Aromatics International, a leader in essential oil quality and transparency. Their oils are sourced directly from trusted distillers worldwide and backed by publicly available GC/MS reports.

We proudly disclose every ingredient—never hiding behind “trade secrets.” Transparency, quality, and honesty are at the heart of everything we do.

Because at CircleLife, ingredients matter—and so do you.
