WELCOME, WELCOME!!

So, You’re Wondering Who The Handcrafter Behind Nature’s Preserve Is & How This Earthy, Heartfelt Brand Came To Life. The Truth Is, The Roots Of This Dream Were Planted Long Before I Ever Realized It — Back In My Earliest Childhood Memories, Surrounded By Nature, Curiosity & A Whole Lot Of Imagination.

Let Me Take You There.

✨ WHERE MY LOVE FOR THE EARTH BEGAN

When I Was A Little Girl, My Mother & I Lived With My Grandparents In Puerto Rico. Their Home Sat At The Top Of A Narrow, Winding, Unpaved Road — A Place That Felt Wild, Alive & Full Of Magic. I Must Have Been Around 3 Or 4, But Those Years Shaped Me In Ways I Didn’t Understand Until Much Later.

My Grandfather Owned Land, Raised Animals & Grew Everything From Fruits To Vegetables To Medicinal Plants. My Entire Family Lived Either In The Same House Or Just Steps Away. I Was One Of The Youngest Grandkids — And The Youngest Girl — Which Meant I Was Always Up To Something. My Grandfather Called Me “Cabra” (Goat) Because I Was Constantly Climbing Trees. I Still Have The Scars On My Knees From Those Days!

But My Favorite Place In The Entire World Was My Grandmother’s Garden. To Me, It Felt Tall & Endless — A Living Playground Wrapped Around The Side Of The House. I’d Disappear Into It For Hours, Creating “Potions” & “Recipes” Out Of Flower Petals, Leaves, Mud, Sticks & Whatever Else My Imagination Decided Was Necessary. That Garden Was My First Laboratory. My First Classroom. My First Sanctuary.

✨ THE JOURNEY INTO SKINCARE

As I Grew Older, My Fascination With Skin Only Deepened — Largely Because I Struggled With Severe Acne From A Very Young Age. That Struggle Made Me Obsessed With Understanding Skin Health, Ingredients & The Science Behind It All.

In High School, I Enrolled In A Cosmetology Program Thinking It Was All About Skin & Makeup. Spoiler Alert: It Was Mostly Hair — And I Hated Hair. My Teacher Told Me What I Really Wanted Was Esthetics. She Was Right.

I Became A Licensed Esthetician In My Early 20’s, And I Was So Passionate About It That I Became The First Student In My School’s History To Receive A Scholarship. I Had A Baby At Home, Worked Minimum Wage & Couldn’t Afford Tuition — But The Owners Saw My Potential & Fought To Keep Me There. In Every Other Subject I Was A “C” Student… But In Skin? I Was An “A” All Day Long.

Later, I Achieved Another Dream: Becoming A Makeup Artist For MAC Cosmetics.

✨ THE MOMENT EVERYTHING SHIFTED

Funny Enough, I Never Imagined I’d Make My Own Products. That Didn’t Happen Until Years Later, When I Became A Stay-At-Home Mother Of Two & Was No Longer Practicing Esthetics.

One Afternoon, I Was In The Shower & Picked Up A Face Cleanser I Had Bought. I Had Read The Ingredients Before — But This Time Something Hit Me. The Ingredients Were Pronounceable, Natural & Earth-Derived. And In That Moment, Something Inside Me Said:

“I Can Do THIS.”

I Stepped Out Of The Shower With An Entire Vision — The Name, The Colors, The Products, The Purpose. It All Arrived At Once, Like A Seed That Had Been Waiting For The Right Moment To Sprout.

✨ THE DREAM TAKES FORM

For Years, I Studied, Researched, Mixed, Blended & Perfected My Recipes. I Gave Away SO Much Product — Bags & Bags Of It — Just To Share, Test & Build Trust. That’s How Nature’s Preserve Quietly Began.

Around 2018, I Decided To Take It Seriously. To Honor The Calling. To Create Products That Were Pure, Earthy, Nourishing & Made With Intention — Products That Felt Like Home, Like Comfort, Like Nature Herself.

✨ A DREAM, FINALLY COME TRUE

Nature’s Preserve Is More Than A Brand. It’s My Childhood In Puerto Rico. It’s My Grandmother’s Garden. It’s My Grandfather’s Land. It’s My Love For Skin. It’s My Journey Through Motherhood. It’s My Healing. It’s My Purpose.

Thank You For Being Here & Supporting Something That Has Lived In My Heart For So Many Years.
