About Us
Monarch and Lily was born from my desire to bring beautifully crafted organic products to those I loved. I had been involved in the health and wellness industry for close to 20 years. When my son was born I decided to stay home with him and start a new chapter in my life.
With my background I was aware of how many toxic ingredients are allowed in traditional products, so I began making sunscreen and skincare for him. It worked so well I branched out to products for myself and friends, and never looked back.
Our Products have come from a desire to give the best to those around us. To be a company that not only provides superior quality products, but that leaves the world better off because of our business.
We source our ingredients from companies that hold the highest standards, and that gather ingredients from sustainable practices, as well as providing jobs in impoverished areas. We use minimal packaging to cut down on needless waste, and have pledged to give a portion of our sales to the conservation of Monarchs and fellow pollinators, without these amazing creatures our planet would be a very different place. Helping these creatures is also a passion of my now 4 year old son. Showing him that one person can indeed make a difference is a blessing, and a lesson I hope he holds on to his whole life.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about myself and my vision. I hope you enjoy your skincare as much as I enjoy making it for you.

This amazing photo of my son releasing a Monarch Butterfly, was drawn by Artist Joni Rochford. She also took inspiration from this photo to create our beautiful logo. I’m grateful she captured my vision perfectly. <3
