Our Story
In 2016, Green Wellness Institute’s sister company The Beaute Loft kicked off one of the first Beauty and Stem hands-on experiences with it’s popular Soapmaking workshops. As the need for more STEM and STEAM related activities, workshops and classes arose, the Green Wellness Institute was born. GWI endeavors to make math, botany, chemistry, and phytochemistry and interesting and relatable, fostering a sense of connection among each other.
In today’s world, we see more worlds like "clean" and "natural" popping up in every category but more specifically personal care, wellness and the beauty industry. This is because consumers and the world we live in is shifting it’s efforts to create products that are environmentally-friendly and contain less toxic and potentially harmful ingredients.
It’s fairly easy to find traditional cosmetic chemistry resources. It is more difficult to find cosmetic chemistry resources that are progressive and geared towards a greener future. The future is green. We need more botanists, herbalists, phytochemist, cosmetic chemist and researchers. We need more resources geared towards more sustainable and enviromentally friendly resources.
The Green Wellness Institute has developed fresh and immersive STEAM and STEM green beauty curriculums, created cosmetic chemistry kits, and built strong partnerships with schools, community organizations, and educators worldwide. Our mission is to broaden and enhance STEAM enrichment education and learning opportunities through green beauty that empower sustainable science opportunities and knowledge and increase diversity.
