Modern people often say we live in an era of nutritional excess. Unlike the old days when food was scarce, these days, more people worry about dieting in the midst of abundant food. The story we are sharing today is about an artisan who advocates for healthy subtraction for the skin, much like we need it for our diets. Starting with natural soap crafted for her son who struggled with atopic dermatitis, she now caters to over 70,000 customers with sensitive skin through her natural cosmetics brand, Dressing Table.
Can you introduce yourself briefly?
“Hello, I am the handmade artist behind Dressing Table, a brand that creates healthy cosmetics using natural ingredients free of chemical substances.”
From a Mother’s Concern to a Career in Cosmetics The artisan behind Dressing Table boasts 18 years of experience. However, she didn’t originally plan to become a cosmetics maker. Her journey began with her love for her children.
“My eldest suffered greatly from atopic dermatitis as a child. As mothers would understand, when your child is unwell, you almost become a pseudo-doctor. I began studying everything that claimed to help with atopic dermatitis — food, skincare, medications. Wanting only good ingredients to touch his skin, I started making natural soap 18 years ago. What started as soap-making expanded into creating natural cosmetics, which eventually became my profession.”
“If it helped my child, I thought it could help others too. I wanted to alleviate the worries of mothers who, like me, agonized over their children’s skin. That’s how I started my journey under the brand name Dressing Table.”
The name "Dressing Table" has a deeper meaning. Just as a dressing table is where beauty begins, her brand aspires to solve skin concerns while embodying the philosophy of using safe, edible-quality ingredients for skincare. Interestingly, the term ‘dressing’ is also used in the medical field to refer to treating wounds, reflecting her commitment to creating honest, healing cosmetics.
Nature-Inspired, Natural Cosmetics
Having started with handmade cosmetics for her child’s skin, the most important principle in Dressing Table’s products is using natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin.
“Raising a child with atopic dermatitis taught me that what’s closest to nature is most beneficial to humans. Coexisting with nature begins with avoiding chemical substances. Dressing Table products do not use synthetic preservatives, which means they can’t be produced in bulk or stored for long periods. Each product is made to order and delivered directly to consumers without intermediaries. Though producing in bulk might yield higher profits, it goes against our founding principles.”
To replace synthetic preservatives, Dressing Table uses gentle, plant-derived ingredients like lavender, pea extract, plant oils, and tremella extract.
“Just as olive oil varies in quality, the grade of natural ingredients significantly impacts their price. We prioritize using high-grade, premium-quality ingredients. Our long-term competitiveness lies in creating products that customers want to revisit.”
Dressing Table’s cosmetics also incorporate years of expertise in blending ingredients and extracting active components from natural materials.
“The process of extracting effective ingredients from dried natural materials and blending plant oils determines the quality of the final product. Dressing Table has developed precise ratios for base oils and extracts through extensive research. We continually experiment to find optimal blends for new products.”
Her journey from a concerned mother to an expert in natural cosmetics has been fueled by the desire to provide safe and effective solutions. She also runs workshops where customers can experience making cosmetics themselves and offers consultations on skin concerns. This dedication has garnered attention from the media.

“The more I research, the more I realize that skin is like our body. Just as eating less can lead to longevity, skin benefits from fewer harmful substances and adequate nourishment. My formula for healthy skin is simple: eliminate toxins and provide just enough natural ingredients that the skin can absorb.”
Cosmetics for the Whole Family
Starting with handmade soap, Dressing Table’s offerings now include moisturizers, shampoos, lip balms, hand creams, and BB creams. Among these, the "Skin Iron Stick" is a bestseller.
“The Skin Iron Stick is a stick-type moisturizing eye cream made from unrefined beeswax combined with natural organic ingredients like argan oil, evening primrose, and rosehip oil. When we launched it five years ago, there weren’t many convenient, non-messy moisturizing sticks on the market. It’s portable and easy to use, making it popular for applying to wrinkle-prone areas like the eyes and neck. Even customers prone to milia find it gentle and effective.”
“Though my journey began with concerns for my child’s atopic dermatitis, I realized many modern individuals struggle with skin issues due to unhealthy diets and environmental factors like fine dust. I dream of creating a brand that serves the whole family—mothers worried about wrinkles, fathers with itchy scalps, daughters looking for gentle makeup bases. Hearing that my products have eased someone’s skin troubles keeps me motivated.”
For Everyone’s Healthy Skin
“Starting with handmade soap for my son’s atopic skin, I’ve become a cosmetics expert helping many people achieve healthier skin. Amid all the worries in today’s world, it’s a blessing to not have to worry about what we eat or put on our skin. I hope Dressing Table continues to be a trusted brand for safe and reliable skincare products.”
