A Note from our Founder, Formulator, and CEO, Karen Chelini

BellaVita Botanics was born out of necessity. In California, where I grew up and live, we’re surrounded by beautiful mountains and ocean.

Yet even the most beautiful environment can adversely impact skin.

Pollution, extreme temperatures, air conditioning and daily stress all take a toll.

I began to see lines on my face—even my hair texture began to change! I tried all kinds of products, some inexpensive, others pricey, with little or no result.

On a more personal level, my parents both got cancer. This was a huge wake up call for my family to take a direct look at our environment and habits. I learned that what we put in and on our bodies makes a significant difference in our well-being. I also learned that botanical-based skincare products help to heal, protect, and rejuvenate our skin.

That’s when I began to build my own formulas. The feedback I got from family and friends was positive. I kept going, revising and reformulating, making improvements and testing. BellaVita Botanics was born.

I believe everyone deserves high performance skin and hair care that’s safe to use. Synthetic ingredients may perform, but at what cost? Many of us strive to eat healthy and exercise.

Why not nurture your skin’s good health too?


I’m so excited to share BellaVita Botanics with you!
