Our Story
Lo & Behold was born from a love of natural skincare and a passion for helping people care for themselves and their communities. We handcraft 100% natural body care from an entire globe of botanicals in small batches. We don’t use any fillers like water or alcohol, so a little goes a long way. Our products are never tested on animals, and are free of parabens, sulfates, petroleum, and all synthetic ingredients like artificial fragrances and preservatives.
Our goal is to create quality products that nourish your skin and create moments of calm for your mind. We hope your self-care ritual becomes something you look forward to.

Our Ingredients
Quality ingredients are at the heart of what we make. All of our ingredients are 100% natural, non-toxic, and responsibly sourced. We focus on using locally grown and certified organic ingredients to make our products look, small, and feel good, while also being safe, gentle and effective for all skin types. All of our products are nourishing and fresh-made in small batches.
Hibiscus
Hibiscus is rich in vitamin C, it evens out skin tone, and provides a sweet, zesty aroma. It is referred to as “the botox plant” because of its alpha hydroxy acids and vitamin C that gently exfoliate and firm the skin while encouraging cell turnover. We infuse coconut oil with locally grown hibiscus for our Rose & Hibiscus Tinted Lip Balm and Jasmine & Hibiscus Whipped Body Butter.
Echinacea
Echinacea root and flowers have healing properties that can prevent acne, treat inflammation, and reduce wrinkles. It’s highly astringent and can minimize the appearance of pores for firmer skin. We use locally grown echinacea in our Echinacea & Chamomile Cleansing Balm.
Sugar
Exfoliates the skin to remove dead skin cells and soften skin. Because of natural glycolic acid, it also exfoliates on a chemical level rather than by abrasion alone. We use certified organic sugar in all of our Body Scrubs and in our new Honey & Fig Lip Scrub.
JOJOBA OIL
Jojoba Oil is rich in vitamin E, B, zinc, and selenium. This oil absorbs quickly, is non-greasy, and alleviates dry skin. The oil’s chemical structure is almost identical to our naturally produced sebum; it balances skin, locks in moisture, and is high in vitamins. We use jojoba oil in all our Lip Balms, our Minted Hair & Body Oil, Wildflower Hair & Body Oil, Lavender Hair & Body Oil, Echinacea & Chamomile Cleansing Balm, Neroli & Chamomile Serum, and Vetiver & Bergamot Shave Oil.
