My Passion for Organic & Natural Products Fueled by a Severe Chemical Poisoning
My passion for clean, organically sourced botanical ingredients and non-toxic products began after experiencing severe and life-altering health challenges from being fluoride/fluoroquinolone poisoned by an antibiotic which caused multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), and traumatic brain injury (TBI), among many other damages and symptoms. I am still trying to recover 11 years later.
After the poisoning, even many “organic” products irritated my skin, which led me to become a dedicated researcher of skincare ingredients and formulation quality.
I'm Tara, the founder of Beauty Blue Skincare and Starfall Health & Beauty LLC. I study the science of botanical skincare and formulates simple products based on evidence, safety, and skin physiology. Combining my background in Clinical Psychology, Health & Wellness Coaching, AromaPsychology, and ongoing AromaDermatology studies through the Tisserand Institute, I create recovery-focused anti-aging and acne support botanical skincare designed to support healthy, resilient skin for women, men, and teens.
I believe luxury skincare should feel both beautiful and intentional — rooted in nature, crafted with integrity, and made without unnecessary fillers or harsh ingredients. Every bottle is hand-poured in small batches with a focus on quality sourcing, elegant formulation, and timeless botanical beauty.
What started as a search for gentle, effective skincare evolved into a passion for luxury botanical oils designed to nourish dry, mature, and changing skin naturally.
Beauty Blue is proudly woman-owned and built on the belief that aging well begins with nourishing the skin, simplifying routines, and choosing the right ingredients.
I’m currently developing a collection of 10 essential oil aromatic blends for inhalation that is informed by my AromaPsychology education and scientific research into olfaction and the studied effects of individual essential oils—bringing together nature, psychology, and neuroscience.
