When esthetician Albina Mastrangelo moved from sun-drenched southern Italy to frigid Canada, she never anticipated that the climate shock and cultural adjustment would trigger devastating cystic acne that no commercial or prescription product could fix. Her breaking point? The moment her boyfriend couldn't find a clear spot on her face to kiss.
That heartbreaking moment launched Albina on a mission to create her own solution. Despite lacking formal chemistry training, she researched natural ingredients like chamomile, tea tree, and specialized compounds that fight inflammation. But formulating the recipe was just the beginning—she faced rejection from countless labs unwilling to produce small batches until a chance connection with a chemist who had fond memories of Italy opened the door to creating her first product.
The transformation of Albina's skin became the foundation for what is now an extensive natural skincare line featuring innovative delivery systems that ensure potent ingredients penetrate deeply. What makes her approach special is her holistic philosophy that beautiful skin requires more than topical treatments. Throughout our conversation, she shares practical wisdom about sleep routines, stress management, and nutrition's profound impact on skin health—from omega-3 rich foods that reduce inflammation to antioxidant-packed berries that protect against premature aging.
Whether you're struggling with problematic skin or simply want to maintain a healthy glow as you age, Albina's journey from personal crisis to skincare success offers both inspiration and practical solutions.
