Organic ingredients and sustainable practices are dialed into Northern California's DNA, making it a natural home for Earth Tu Face. When creating the line, Earth Tu Face founder, Sarah Buscho, took inspiration from the Slow Food and Farm to Table Movements, lead by Alice Waters of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California.

This spring the beauty world is a-buzz about green beauty at large — especially brands based in the Bay Area.

Such principles, coupled with increasing and widespread interest in the kind of holistic living that many Northern Californians have been practicing for decades, have paved the way for today’s larger clean-beauty boom." The author tapped our founder for an interview to describe Earth Tu Face's origin story as a Bay Area beauty brand and how a garden formerly shared with Chez Panisse sparked inspiration and sprouted roots for the greater ethos of the line.
