OUR PHILOSOPHY

When it comes to skincare, our philosophy is that you should have it all - plant actives that are of the highest quality and potency, together with clinical active ingredients backed by science and developed for proven results.

In our world, plants and science can work together in harmony to provide high-performance, multi-tasking skincare. Finding a balance between nature and science means that you can see visible results while simultaneously soothing, nourishing and protecting your skin. 

GROWN, FORMULATED AND DEVELOPED LOCALLY

Our products are formulated and handcrafted on-site by Understory founder and scientist, Dr. Ramey. In fact, we grow our own plants from seed to ensure the most bio-active compounds go into our products and, in turn, your skin. We balance those plants extracts with well-researched clinical ingredients that are carefully chosen for their skin-nourishing properties.

SIGNATURE BIO-ACTIVE BOTANICAL COMPLEX

Our signature bio-active botanical complex is made up of five superstar plants (calendula, rose, hydrangea, immortelle, and chamomile), each selected for its unique and powerful beneficial compounds. This complex, present in all of our products, supports our clinical active ingredients to give you optimal protection, hydration and repair while visibly changing your skin at the surface and on a cellular level. 

From planting to harvesting, to formulating and packaging, we have full control of our product development. The outcome is one-of-a-kind skincare products that deliver the highest level of quality and performance - and that’s something worth bragging about!
