As I began to learn more about the world of natural products, it became clear that many of the chemicals commonly found in skincare were not only unnecessary, but harmful. With each new discovery, my resolve grew stronger. I knew I had to do something different—something better.

When I set out to create Hongo, I didn’t want just another skincare line. I wanted to create something that could truly heal my own skin concerns—products that were safe, effective, and deeply nurturing for everyone who used them.

This dream took shape in the kitchen of my fourth-generation childhood home—a place filled with memories, creativity, and a deep sense of tradition. Every ingredient I chose was carefully selected, sourced from sustainable and local regenerative farms that respect the earth as much as I do.

When I first shared my creations with friends and family, the response was overwhelming. People weren’t just impressed—they were transformed. Their joy and encouragement affirmed that I was on the right path, and their support gave me the courage to finally launch Hongo.

Hongo is more than just skincare. It’s my way of sharing the love and lessons I’ve learned. It’s my commitment to creating products that are as gentle on the planet as they are on your skin.

Today, Hongo stands as a tribute to the belief that the best things come from the purest sources.

I hope our products become a cherished part of your daily routine, serving as a reminder of nature’s incredible power and beauty, and fostering a legacy of wellness that can be passed down through generations.

With love, light, and mushrooms,
