Meet the Founder

I’m Kathy, founder and formulator of PureButterMelts, a small-batch skincare brand rooted in intention, wellness, and care. As a mother of two and a woman deeply connected to natural living, I created this brand from a place of love, curiosity, and a desire to offer something simple and honest.

As a Latina of Dominican heritage, I was raised around the comfort of home remedies and the wisdom of natural care. Those traditions stayed with me and became part of my own holistic journey. Over time, they inspired the creation of PureButterMelts, a brand devoted to thoughtful, eco-conscious skincare that honors both the skin and the person within it.

I’ve always believed skincare should do more than sit on the surface. It should support the whole person. That means being intentional about ingredients, understanding different skin needs, and choosing formulas that are both gentle and effective. Every PureButterMelts product is made here in small batches. My body butters, lotions and oils use short ingredient lists, and scented and fragrance-free options are labeled clearly so you can choose what suits your skin. My soaps are hand-poured on a glycerin soap base and finished with clays, botanicals and essential oils. Where a formula contains water, it includes a gentle preservative system — that is what keeps it safe to use over time.

My vision for PureButterMelts is to offer more than products. I want to create a wellness-centered experience that encourages mindful self-care, honors natural beauty, and supports a more conscious way of living. Everything I make is created with purpose, love, and a genuine desire to help others feel cared for.

PureButterMelts is my way of blending tradition, wellness, and intentional skincare into something that feels both personal and powerful.

With love,
Kathy
