From Eczema Struggles to Skincare Solutions—Why I Started Urban Empress Co.

As a single mom of two boys, life has thrown me more than a few curveballs—but one challenge struck especially close to home. My son struggled daily with eczema: dry patches, painful itching, and sleepless nights. I felt helpless watching him suffer, and even worse, frustrated by the endless cycle of store-bought products that promised relief but delivered nothing. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and create skincare that truly heals and nourishes.

What began as a personal mission quickly transformed into a bigger purpose. I poured my energy into researching natural ingredients, testing soothing formulas, and learning everything I could about skin health—especially for melanin-rich skin like ours. The results were life-changing for my family, and soon, friends and neighbors started asking for help with their own skin struggles. I realized I wasn’t just making products—I was creating something meaningful.

That’s how Urban Empress Co. was born. This brand is rooted in love, healing, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel good in their skin. I created this line for people like us—those who’ve felt overlooked, exhausted by trial-and-error, and ready for real results. Urban Empress Co. is here to uplift our community, one glowing face at a time.

Takeaways:

• Real skincare made by a mom who understands the struggle.

• Natural ingredients that nourish and soothe eczema-prone, sensitive skin.

• Urban Empress Co. is a community-rooted brand with a mission to heal and uplift.
