Zen + Bloom is a minority-owned skincare and wellness company based in Baltimore, Maryland who believes in the power of natural ingredients and holistic practices to heal the body from the inside out. What we put on our skin gets absorbed into our bodies, and for that reason we strive to deliver small-batch handmade skincare products that are free of harmful chemicals, and heavy synthetics to include artificial dyes, fragrances containing phthalates, petroleum, and parabens. 

Everything about our company is intentional. From the name to the logo, and selection of ingredients used. Our priority is to create high-quality, low-waste skincare products that you can trust to help maintain your natural beauty, while rejuvenating your self-care rituals!

Here at Zen + Bloom, we go with the flow of life offering seasonally-inspired skincare and wellness ideas that are supportive of a healthy and balanced lifestyle, all year round. Our products are plant-based, packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to nourish and restore the skin's vitality as it ages. We formulate with eco-friendly food-grade ingredients and botanicals, while following good manufacturing practices to ensure your safety and trust in our brand. 

We are committed to delivering cleaner skincare using sustainable sources. There is beauty in simplicity. We hope you enjoy using our products as much as we enjoyed making them for you with love!

Meet the Owner

 

Ché Vaughn brings together two of her passions - health advocacy and handmade skincare to create an enterprise that inspires already amazing people to adopt healthier habits in nutrition, beauty, and self-care that are unique and meaningful to their individual goals and lifestyle!

Ché has been making handmade skincare products for herself, family and friends for over ten years. She started with the motivation to improve her health by reducing harsh chemicals and toxic ingredients from her food and skincare routine due to her own health challenges. Ché started researching everything on the ingredients labels of food and skincare products she'd normally purchase, only to notice they were filled with harmful ingredients, many that were synthetic.

She wanted to change that, so she took matters in her own hands by becoming more conscious of the products she and her family were consuming, and by eliminating the bad ones over time. Ché continued researching natural and synthetic ingredients, and the effects they have on your health and skin. Since she's always been good with her hands, she quickly started testing recipes only to fall in love with the process of creating products with raw ingredients that everyone seemed to enjoy. 

Since then, she's decided to take a leap of faith to share her love for sustainable living and thoughtful skincare with the world!
