Monastery Made Skincare

Skincare made with the world’s finest plant oils and absolutes...

Exceptional skin care starts with exceptional ingredients. With over 20 years of experience as an esthetician and countless clients with skin irritations, Monastery founder, Athena Hewett sought to formulate a product to repair sensitized and over dried skin; two skin conditions that tend to trigger or exacerbate skin ailments.

It was the Greek Cyclades that Athena first experienced the power of aromatherapy and natural skincare. Her grandmother pressed oil from their own grove and mixed sage, chamomile, and rosemary into tonics to purify and heal her skin...

After a decade studying and practicing skincare and esthetics, Athena realized that technology had not improved on her grandmother’s holistic recipes for purifying and healing skin. In 2011, Athena opened a skincare studio in San Francisco to treat her patients with different methods of oil cleansing, water free moisturizing and alcohol and salt free skincare. Alongside this practice, Athena introduced a collection of natural skincare, Monastery Made — a blend of the best nature has to offer, with organic oils and ingredients from wild harvests all over the world, carefully chosen for their non-irritating properties. Each ingredient, direct from its source, is of the purest form and highest quality.
