Hello, I’m Annabell Catania, the founder of Bella Glow Skincare. My journey to creating this clean skincare brand is deeply personal and rooted in my own experiences with health, resilience, and transformation. At just 26 years old, I faced an unimaginable challenge when I was diagnosed with stage 3b breast cancer, a diagnosis that stemmed from my daily use of anti-perspirants that I had trusted for years. This devastating reality led to multiple surgeries and six rounds of chemotherapy, yet despite my fight, I found myself still battling for my life with no signs of remission. In the face of this adversity, I realized that my path to healing needed to change. I turned to holistic medicine, guided by the caring hands of Dr. Conway in Vancouver, WA.

With a renewed sense of hope and determination, I embraced a more natural approach to healing. Remarkably, within less than nine months, I found myself in remission. After my journey and countless hours of research, I became passionate about sharing the not-so-commonly known harmful risks associated with anti-perspirants and other conventional body products. Many of us, including our children, unknowingly expose ourselves to these harmful chemicals, especially as they transition into puberty. The consequences can be dire, leading to a range of health problems for thousands of young adults.

This realization ignited a mission within me to advocate for awareness about the harmful effects of toxic ingredients, while also educating people about safer alternatives. It’s disheartening to see that many harmful elements are banned in several countries worldwide, yet they remain prevalent in products used in the United States. As a result, Bella Glow Skincare (formally SIMPURE and Auntie & Me) was born—a full line of skincare products crafted not only with clean, effective ingredients but also with a commitment to quality and safety.

Today, I am proud to offer over 50 vegan, cruelty-free products, each made with pure essential oils and absolutely no synthetic fragrances. Our mission goes beyond just providing skincare; it’s about empowering individuals to make informed choices about their health, skin, and the products they use every day.

Thank you for being a part of the Bella Glow community. Together, let’s embrace a healthier, more radiant future, free from harmful chemicals and filled with the beauty of nature.

With love, Annabell Catania
