RAAW BY TRICE was brought to life when I moved to New York. I was living a healthy life, ate organically, and took good care of myself. This was with an exception of the beauty products that I assumed I was pampering myself with every day. For some reason, I never thought about the potentially harmful chemicals those conventional products contained and how those harmful ingredients absorb straight into our bodies.
One morning I woke up with a horrible rash on my face. It came from an expensive, high-end, and renowned brand I trusted. The skin around my eyes was a purple hue, wrinkled and flaky. It was horrifying. In that moment I decided I would be more conscious and never put any harmful chemicals on my skin again. To me and what seemed to be many other women out there, I had a more holistic concept of “beauty” than what I could find in stores. I wanted a beauty routine that was good for my skin, my body, and my environment.
I began studying herbal medicine and the healing properties of plants and herbs as practiced in traditional Chinese and eastern cultures. The first product I developed was the “Miracle Oil” named after the miraculous power it contained and healed my eczema with and that’s how it all started.
