How our company was founded

Vegan Handmade Skin Care with clean, pure, high quality ingredients.

Robin had been an Etsy and handmade product consumer for many years and the idea of being a "maker of things" had been very appealing for over a decade.

Then one day, while she was on a camping trip, a friend handed her a new lip balm with no label.

"Hmmm", Robin asked, "Did you make this?" Her friend nodded and Robin's internal "maker" gears began to turn.

That was the moment her business was born. She started with making and perfecting vegan lip balm and deodorant. Then, one by one, new products were made, tested and perfected.

She sold her products locally to friends, family, and at craft shows and farmers markets. Then, after some fun success selling locally, she started up her Etsy shop and a separate website. This was her place to shine! She loves people, selling, and providing extraordinary customer service. 

By Robin Creations has come such a long way. It now has its own website and 2 employees (and 2 shop dogs)! 

With every order we receive, we send that customer a hand-written thank you note, the products they ordered, and at least 1 (usually more) free full size or trial size item.

We ship all orders within 1 day of receipt, and we follow up with all customers. We let them know about new products and sales and also ask everyone to review the products they have ordered.

Please check out our store and you will find some delightful and practical products that will enhance the quality of your life.

Our products also make wonderful gifts for everyone on your list!

Thank you for taking the time to see how we got started and for taking a peek into our store!

I am the face behind this amazing brand!  I grew up in the Bay Area in California with my parents and my older brother, Gary.  I have 2 wonderful grown sons, Jackson & Mitchell and two adorable dogs, Foxxy & Payton, plus my adorable cat, Aspen.  After having a few unsatisfying careers, I finally joined my mom selling residential homes in Los Gatos & the Santa Cruz Mountains in California.  Although I absolutely loved working with clients to help them buy and sell homes, I felt the need to leave Real Estate and create my own skin care business.  After starting my business, my mom and I decided to move to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to be closer to my brother and his family.  When I am not running my business and making products, I take my dogs to fun places in the Santa Fe area or am hanging out with friends.  I also spend a lot of time at my mom's house, helping her with everyday tasks, talking news and politics and going to farmers markets together.

Hi!  I’m Foxxy!  I am a 12 year old Queensland Heeler/German Shepard mix.  Technically, I was the first employee at BRC Skin Care, as I was on the floor (literally) from the beginning.  I watched as Robin would make new products in our kitchen.  I listened to her when she needed to vent about failed products and gave her advice, sometimes, on how she could improve some of them.  If I am being completely honest (but not humble), I am really the genius behind the magic of BRC Skin Care.  It was my idea for her to start making animal care products because I had a super itchy spot on my hiney, and she made a spray and a balm that cleared them right up!  When I am not watching my mom make her amazing creations, I am in the yard playing with my new sister, Payton, or I am laying smack in the middle of Robin’s office while she is working.  I always need to be as close to her as possible.  She is my favorite hoooman.
