Returning back to London in 2004 after travelling around South America and South East Asia I felt inspired by all the beauty parlours I’d stepped into along the way and decided to ‘pin down’ the formula I’d already started playing with sometime before leaving.
In the tiny kitchen of my flat in Kennington I made that very first batch of oil for my face and then shared tiny vials with friends and family.
In the iterative spirit which perhaps describes me best I kept on going, tweaking, perfecting until I got to a formula I really liked. I thought I’d better give it a name, and when I looked at everything I had selected to go in it I realised all the ingredients had this intrinsic balancing quality that I attracted me especially as I was in my late twenties and trying to even-out my skin type.
20 Years of small-batch and this is what I learnt;
I started making Balancing Face Oil many years before starting Alex Carro, and in this time many things have changed but what has not is that we continue to make ALL our products with this small-batch philosophy.
As we celebrate 20 years of Balancing Face Oil, we are excited to continue this journey with you. Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to many more years of balanced, beautiful skin.
