Summer’s Story

The real life journey from pilot to skin care founder

Hey there! I’m Summer. You’ve probably guessed it by now, but I’m the founder of Nature’sRepair. I’m also the researcher, product tester, and self-taught developer, behind each and every one of our skin care products. From the ingredients we choose, to where (and how) we source them, and even how we connect with our customers, it’s all super intentional and very personal to me. Which is why I wanted to make a little space here on our blog to share my journey to Nature’sRepair with you.

This company is one that started over a decade ago and is quite the detour from my twenty year career in aviation, but it’s also the way that I’m able to do what I’m most passionate about: Helping people live healthier, happier, whole lives in any way that I can. Right now, that looks like providing people with natural alternatives to heal and treat their skin and sharing every bit of knowledge I have about health and wellness along the way.

To be transparent, if you want to know my story then you must know that I did not set out to create a natural skin care company. But, at the same time, everything that I’ve done and experienced in my life has been leading me to this point.

When I was a teenager, I worked for a microbiologist who created case studies for a large pharmaceutical company. During my time there I learned so much about pharmaceutical-grade cures, namely that most of them stem from nature. My obsession with understanding why so many of my friends and family were suffering from different health and memory problems (and my ambitious determination to help them) led me to learn how damaging the toxins and chemicals that surround us are to our bodies and health. That discovery ignited a fire inside me to eliminate as many of them from my life as I could.

My only goal was to get rid of anything that wasn’t natural from my life. That went for the food I ate, what I cooked my food with, what I drank, my beauty products,  and my skin care. For a decade I researched, experimented, and tested. I completely overhauled my own lifestyle, dedicating myself to superfoods and reducing my exposure to toxins. I immersed myself in understanding what the skin needs, both inside with the food we consume, and outside. All of which (slowly) helped me to understand that what our skin needs most, is nutrition. And the best nutrition is found naturally in superfoods.

In the beginning, I was simply trying and testing to create products for myself and the people closest to me.

I needed a natural product to protect my skin at work so I created Defense. I wanted to give my mom a non-toxic option for removing the makeup she loves to wear every day so I created Gone. I know so many friends that deal with dry or damaged skin that I created Healing. But it was when I was able to heal my own damaged skin after being told there was nothing that could be done to reverse the pigment damage I suffered, that I knew it was time to share what I had created with the world.

Nature’sRepair in its most true and honest sense is an evolution. Not just my own, but an evolution from a simple idea to a vision that’s bigger than me and the products I create. We are truly on a mission to cultivate a world that is toxin free and one where everyone has access to true health and wellness. Our natural nutritional skin care products are just the beginning.
