Nestled in the foothills in the Willamette Valley in Eugene, Oregon, Chickadee Skincare was created in 2018 to meet the need for vegan lotions with gluten-free, clean non-toxic ingredients, and the desire to create other naturally based effective products to nourish the skin.
The Founder
Karen Pleasant, the lotion guru and owner, is a native Oregonian. Karen is a life-long nature lover and plant enthusiast, which is reflected in the products she creates. Years ago, because of allergies and a desire to develop the most natural and environmentally friendly products possible, she went to a folk school back East to learn the art of making her own body products. After friends and family from coast to coast (plus Alaska and Hawaii), including people with recent tattoos, sensitive skin, and healing scars, enthusiastically supported her endeavor, she decided to start a business to share these amazing products with others.
Why ‘Chickadee’ Skincare?
Black-capped Chickadees are one of Karen’s favorite birds, and their cuteness always brings a smile to her face. She also picked a chickadee to represent the company because it symbolizes happiness, positivity, and friendship. Chickadees are bold and brave, and they make people smile. Just seeing the little birds flit about brings people joy, just like Karen hopes using the lotions will bring you joy. The circle shape of the logo symbolizes the sun and moon, wholeness, and original perfection. The handcrafted products reflect this philosophy with carefully selected ingredients and fun natural scents for people who care about themselves and the environment.
We hope our products bring a smile to your face while
nourishing and moisturizing your skin!
