Yvette Racines' Journey from Yoga Studio to Skincare Entrepreneur

We caught up with School of Natural Skincare Graduate, Yvette Racines, a dedicated mother and former yoga studio owner, who found herself at a crossroads when the pandemic caused her yoga studio to close.

Her interest in Ayurveda, a holistic approach to health and wellness, coupled with the necessity of self-care during uncertain times, sparked an idea: merging Ayurvedic principles with natural skincare. This paved the way for her journey into the world of skincare formulation.

With a passion for clean, Ayurveda-inspired self-care products, Yvette embarked on a journey to create her own formulations. Her quest was born out of a need for products that aligned with her principles of using natural ingredients;

“I'm very much into using products that have clean ingredients. If there's ingredients on there that I look up and I see that it's from a synthetic source or petroleum base, I'm like, ‘No, I don't want to put that on my body. I don't really want to support that.’”

“I really wanted to shift my focus, but bring everything together, yoga and Ayurveda. And I was looking online for schools that taught formulation and specifically schools that emphasized natural and organic formulation. And I found the School of Natural Skincare.”

The experience at the School of Natural Skincare was transformative. Yvette found the curriculum well-structured, and the course content enabled her to seamlessly infuse Ayurvedic concepts into her formulations.

Yvette’s newfound knowledge and skills were instrumental in shaping her brand, Vital Living Wellness, named after her yoga studio. Her brand philosophy is underscored by a commitment to sustainability and simplicity. Conscious of environmental impact, her choice of recyclable glass bottles and a focus on minimal, easily identifiable ingredients reflects her dedication to sustainable, clean beauty.
