Skincare and Sustainability with Thrive Natural Care CEO Alex McIntosh
Skincare that regenerates your skin, the planet, and local farming communities
Skincare is essential in keeping your skin healthy, nourished, and thriving.
Some brands sacrifice the Earth’s natural abundance of powerful ingredients for unsustainable, synthetic products that damage the planet and those who inhabit it. Thanks to innovative and compassionate brands like Thrive Natural Care, you can enjoy rejuvenated skin that’s good for your body, the planet, and local farming communities.
After spending years working in media and consumer goods, Alex McIntosh set out to create a business that didn’t only benefit consumers, but the planet and the communities creating the products as well. With a regenerative mindset and a dedicated team of botantists, farmers, and agricultural chemists, Thrive Natural Care was born.
Alex and his team found the resources they need in Costa Rica, including their (not so secret) weapon against sensitive and struggling skin — unique superplants, chosen for their superior skincare benefits and restorative role in local ecosystems. These potent superplants are farmed using a regenerative model that supercharges their skin benefits while restoring health to degraded ecosystems and improving the livelihood of rural farmers.
