About DIY Sustainable Skincare and Natural Beauty: Meet Kristina Markovic

My Journey into DIY Sustainable Skincare and Natural Beauty Began

My fascination with natural beauty started in medical high school, where I first experimented with plant-based face masks. Those early creations sparked a curiosity that grew into a lifelong passion, intertwining my love for skincare and nature.

After earning a degree in ecology biology, I spent more than 25 years addressing pressing environmental challenges in the corporate world – like waste management, spill pollution prevention and soil remediation. While fulfilling, I felt a pull toward something more personal—a way to reconnect with nature and explore the power of plants in a hands-on, creative way.

That’s when I discovered aromatherapy and the transformative world of DIY sustainable skincare. Seven years ago, I began crafting my own cosmetics at home, blending simple, plant-based ingredients into products that felt luxurious and nourishing.

Sharing my creations with family and friends brought so much joy that I knew I wanted to take it further. Today, this blog is a space where I combine my expertise in natural beauty, sustainability, and teaching to inspire others.
