About Ande & Our Team

The Sister Spark: How it All Started...

Ande and her sister grew up in the humid Mississippi River region of the Midwest, where humidity was Queen — and naturally hydrated their skin, so fine lines and wrinkles were never a concern.

Fast forward many years, through lives, loves, adventures, and moves around the world, the two found themselves back together again — now nearing 70 — in the beautiful but dry, arid climate of Colorado.

It took only a nanosecond after her sister’s arrival for Ande to hear:

“My skin is literally crying out for moisture…
I swear I already have more wrinkles!”

That was the spark.

Ande remembered a home remedy one of her massage clients had once shared with her for dry skin: beef tallow.

A lifelong seeker of natural, effective solutions, she gave it a try. The result? A luxurious, deeply hydrating moisturizer that felt like instant relief — and Ande’s Formula was born.

She began sharing her whipped creation with massage clients and friends, and the feedback was nearly universal:

“Even after just a couple of days, my skin feels so nourished.” “You have to share this with more people!”

Now, it’s here for you, too. Because no matter your age or skin type, we all deserve to feel nourished, radiant, and at home in our own skin.
