Hi, I'm Karen

The maker behind Dear Naura. This all started during the pandemic when a friend and I launched a little zero-waste business. That’s when I fell in love with making soap bars , lotions & mask— there’s something so fun (and kinda nerdy) about mixing creativity with science.  I’ve also always been that girl who loved trying out DIY face masks growing up.

From Kitchen Experiments to a Small-Batch Skincare Studio

Eventually, my friend and I each went our own way, but I kept going with my handmade creations.

To deepen my knowledge, I took a skincare formulation course and studied organic chemistry at my local city college — both of which helped me better understand the ingredients I work with and how they interact with the skin.

That’s how Earth Melody was born — just me, experimenting, learning through trial and error, failing a bunch, then getting back up and trying again. It was messy, fulfilling, and all mine.

When I found out I couldn’t trademark Earth Melody, I knew I needed a new name — something that really captured the heart of what I do.

That’s when Dear Naura came to be. “Naura” means hope, light, nourishment, and nature — which felt like the perfect fit.

At the end of the day, I just want to make things that are kind to the planet and help people feel good. Thanks for being here.

  • Where Holistic Knowledge & Science Can Work Together

    Clean skincare doesn’t have to be basic or unstable.

    That’s why we use shelf-stable, eco-conscious formulations made with gentle actives, plant-based ingredients, and no unnecessary fillers.

    Each product is developed to support your skin barrier, reduce irritation, and simplify your routine without compromising results.

  • Compassionate, Conscious & Tired Of The Hype

    We make skincare that works for real people.

    We know you don’t have time for a 10 step routine before you go to bed — you’re lucky if you even make it into your pajamas!

    Your skincare should be easy and work just as hard as you do. 

  • Tested, Trusted & Transparent

    We believe you deserve skincare that works and earns your trust.

    Our choice of preservative is ECO-CERT and we ensure every batch is microbial, yeast, fungus, and bacteria-free with a shelf stable life of 1-2 years.

Skincare That’s Low Waste, Sustainable & Earth-Friendly. Always.

You don’t need another single-use sheet mask that contains more packaging than it does product. We make all our skincare in small-batches to reduce waste and keep our formulas fresh. 

We infuse oils slowly for six months or more before blending, because we know care takes time. Most of our products are packaged in glass or low-waste materials while our deodorant is 100% plastic-free!

Whether you’re discovering clean skincare for the first time or have been with us since the market days, we’re so glad you’re here.
