My Emollient

Founded in 2020 by Keeshagaye Whitter during the first week of quarantine, My Emollient was born out of years of personal research following her experience with eczema and frustration with conventional skincare products that relied on fillers, synthetic fragrances, and harmful ingredients. What began as a search for relief evolved into a commitment to create skincare that prioritizes ingredient transparency, education, and long-term skin health.

My Emollient is a Brooklyn-based clean skincare brand specializing in small-batch, water-free body care designed to protect and repair the skin barrier. The brand is best known for its concentrated body butters made with thoughtfully sourced, non-toxic ingredients, and is expanding its offerings to include body oils and skin balms. Each formulation reflects the brand’s mission to raise awareness around harmful ingredients in skincare while providing a truly transparent alternative consumers can trust.

The brand serves customers seeking clean, effective solutions for dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin, and emphasizes responsible production through small-batch manufacturing. As a member of 1% for the Planet, My Emollient donates a portion of its annual revenue to environmental organizations, reinforcing its belief that caring for the skin and caring for the planet are deeply connected.
