Chapter1: Our Family, Our Vision, Your Skin

The Story Behind Chapter1: Family, Passion, and a Vision for Clean Beauty

At Chapter1, our journey started with a simple but powerful idea: skincare should be gentle, effective, and inclusive. What began as a personal quest soon blossomed into a family-run brand committed to bringing the healing power of nature and science to everyone—especially those who have felt overlooked by mainstream beauty.

A Minority-Owned Family Business with a Mission

Chapter1 is proud to be a minority-owned, family-operated company. Our founder, who faced their own struggles with adult acne, combined their passion for chemistry and personal experience to create products that truly work without harsh ingredients or empty promises. This isn’t just business to us—it’s personal.

Being a minority-owned brand means we’re deeply aware of the need for representation and accessibility in skincare. We strive to create products that serve diverse skin types and tones, recognizing that beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our family’s values of care, integrity, and resilience guide every step of our process—from sourcing ingredients to crafting each small batch.

Why Small-Batch Matters

We believe in quality over quantity. By producing our skincare in small batches, we maintain strict control over freshness, potency, and safety. This approach ensures that every bottle of Chapter1 that reaches your hands meets our highest standards. It’s how we honor our commitment to you and your skin.

The Power of HOCl and Innovation

Our signature ingredient, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), is inspired by the body’s own natural defense system. Infused with cutting-edge nanobubble technology, our products harness this gentle yet powerful molecule to cleanse, soothe, and balance skin — making a real difference for all skin types, especially sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Our Promise to You

At Chapter1, we’re more than just a skincare brand — we’re a family that cares about yours. We promise transparency, ethical sourcing, and formulas designed to empower you to love the skin you’re in. Your journey to healthier, balanced skin starts here, with products crafted with passion, science, and heart.
