“Intuitive. Biological. Smart. Products your skin understands.”

Tomboy is formulated with skin mimics — skin compatible lipids, antioxidants, and protective botanicals from the forest that mirror what your skin already produces.

 

When your skin recognizes an ingredient, it doesn’t fight it — it welcomes it. Better absorption. Better performance. Less waste.

Less, but smarter. That’s a tomboy approach to skincare.”

FROM TEACHER TO TOMBOY​​

״Tomboy began in my high school classroom — where I was the teacher.

A few years earlier, I had left the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to return home to my Mother, who needed me.  Back in my hometown, surrounded by rivers and ridgelines that I grew up exploring, something unexpected happened.

What started as classroom poison ivy research became something real.  We were living it! Harvesting, infusing, testing, questioning. The classroom felt less like four walls and more like a field station — wild, curious, untamed.

The students named it Tomboy after me. I never missed a day — unless it was raining hard enough for whitewater.

Then I’d be on the river.

Our rivers run wild and flow free on the Cumberland Plateau.  As did the free-thinking in our classroom.

From that energy — and a little rebellion — this brand was born.​​​"

 🌿Skincare That Knows You

Not just your skin type — your skin story.
The dry spells. The breakouts. The stress. The seasons.

The ADVENTURES!!!
Balanced. Responsive. Intelligent.

Because healthy-looking skin starts with understanding how it works.

Raising the Bar in Organic Skincare

🌿 1. Waterless Formulas — More Effective & Truly Organic

One of the biggest ways Tomboy differentiates itself is choosing not to formulate with water. Many conventional and even “natural” skincare products rely on water as a primary ingredient, which dilutes the product and then requires chemical preservatives to keep them stable. Tomboy avoids this entirely, focusing instead on nutrient-dense botanical ingredients that can be preserved naturally or don’t need traditional preservatives — which can be irritating to the skin.

🧪 2. Skin-Friendly pH That Supports Skin Health

Tomboy formulates products with an acidic pH, similar to skin’s natural acid mantle. This helps support the skin’s immune defense, keep beneficial microbiota in balance and reduce common inflammatory triggers linked to acne, rosacea, and eczema. This kind of pH awareness is unusual in organic skincare but can make a real difference in daily skin comfort and resilience.

🍃 3. Wild-Harvested & Sustainably-Sourced Ingredients

Rather than using generic botanical extracts, Tomboy emphasizes wild-harvested forest botanicals — like  roots and herbs — that are chosen for their nutrient profiles and skin benefits. These ingredients are sourced with environmental respect in mind, fitting into broader sustainability trends in clean beauty.

📚 4. Skin Mimic Formulation Philosophy

Tomboy’s ingredients are “skin mimics” — botanical lipids, antioxidants and protective elements that mirror what skin naturally produces. When skin recognizes an ingredient as familiar or beneficial, it can absorb and use it more effectively, which can enhance results and reduce sensitivity.

🏆 5. Proven Results & Community Trust

This brand isn’t just organic in theory — it’s award-winning and has a devoted customer base. It has been recognized with accolades like “Best Organic Skincare Company in Tennessee” and the American Choice Best Brand award, reflecting consumer validation of its effectiveness and quality.

🌱 6. Simple, Effective Product Lines

Tomboy keeps its approach minimal and intentional, focusing on products that deliver real results without unnecessary extras. This resonates with people who want performance without a laundry list of unfamiliar chemicals — and it aligns with modern trends in clean and honest beauty.

Summing it up: Tomboy is raising the bar in organic skincare by rethinking standard formulation practices, emphasizing water-free, skin-friendly, and forest-inspired ingredients that work with your biology rather than against it. It blends smart science, sustainability and results-oriented design in ways that truly stand out in the natural beauty space.
