Throughout her early career
in banking and computer
programming, Pure Stella
founder Stacey Rex always liked
solving problems. So when she
couldn't fi nd safe and aff ordable
natural products to soothe her
daughter's eczema, Rex decided
to create her own.
Rex started experimenting with
diff erent recipes for all-natural
facial oils, lip balms, lotions
and scrubs. After receiving
compliments and requests from
friends and family to buy her
products, she opened Pure Stella
Skin Care in summer 2014.
Every day, after her two kids
leave for school, Rex works in
the kitchen of her Charlotte
home. There she crafts the
brand's most popular products,
using essential oils to create
tempting scents, like warm
spiced chai, calming lavender
and woodsy sandalwood.
Made from only natural and
botanical ingredients, each of
Pure Stella's products is free of
harsh chemicals and artifi cial
fragrance.
