“About Follain Skincare

Follain Skincare was born from one-on-one consultations with thousands of people seeking to make the switch to clean beauty. The result?  High-performance, indulgent, uncompromisingly clean products that work as amazing as they feel.

High-Performance: 

We blend naturally-potent botanicals with high-performance clean synthetics to create daily essentials and targeted treatments that deliver visible results.  Instead of relying on single “hero” ingredients, our multitasking formulas combine a calibrated range of clean actives that work together to tackle the most common (and stubborn) skin concerns.  Ingredients are hand-selected based on years of experience testing the latest innovations in clean beauty, alongside continued advancements in green chemistry.

Indulgent:  

At our core, we believe that skincare is a form of self-care that should feel like a treat rather than a chore.  Our ingredients are masterfully whipped into luxurious textures that are both indulgent and easy-to-use (something Tara’s clients often asked for in their consultations).  We know moments of “me-time” are rare and good skincare can help make them a little more special.

Uncompromisingly Clean: 

Our commitment to providing clean, safe products far exceeds industry norms.  Follain Skincare is proudly EWG Verified (the highest standard for ingredient safety & transparency), Cruelty-Free Leaping Bunny Certified, Synthetic Fragrance-Free, and Dermatologist-Tested.  Learn more about our formulation principles and restricted ingredients below.“

Meet Tara, Founder & Advocate

Over a decade ago, Follain founder Tara Foley became a leading advocate for more transparency in the beauty industry.  Her own clean beauty journey inspired her to create Follain. 

THE ‘A-HA’ MOMENT: How clean living became a personal mission

“Back in 2009, I was on a completely different career path, working long hours, and finding it hard to stay healthy. As I started to focus on fitness, healthy living, and what I was putting in my body, it occurred to me that I was not applying the same scrutiny to what I was putting on my body. I started asking questions about the ingredients in my beauty products and was so shocked by what I learned that it inspired me to launch a blog called The Naturalchemyst. The response showed me how many others wanted to find effective non-toxic options but didn’t know where to start. That’s when I decided to pull the emergency brake on my career at the time, in order to learn everything possible about the most nourishing beauty options for people and planet – from spending time with leaders in Green Chemistry and Environmental Health, to living and working on a lavender farm in France.”

FALLING IN LOVE WITH CLEAN BEAUTY: The inspiration behind Follain

“As I started to incorporate clean beauty products into my personal life, I quickly realized that what made them special extended far beyond being non-toxic. I discovered the magic of clean beauty lies equally in the experience of the products themselves: indulgent, beautiful textures that worked even better than their conventional counterparts. I founded Follain in 2013 to get as many people as possible to also experience and fall in love with the power of clean beauty. I chose the name Follain – the Gaelic word for ‘all that is wholesome, healthy and natural’ – as a symbol of my belief that clean beauty should feel welcoming, happy and inclusive.”
