What Is In a Name
Laura Leclair
When you hear the name "LifeWorks Skin Essentials," what comes to mind? Is it simply another skincare brand, or does it suggest something deeper? Behind our name lies a story of resilience, discovery, and hope—a story that begins with our founder's personal journey.
A Journey Born from Necessity
Like many of you reading this, our founder's path to creating LifeWorks began with her own health struggle. Diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosus, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, she found herself facing limited treatment options that often came with concerning side effects.
The standard medical approach—powerful topical steroids and hormone creams—left her with more questions than answers. While these medications could temporarily manage symptoms, they weren't addressing the root cause and came with their own set of problems, including potential skin thinning with prolonged use.
As she navigated her diagnosis, she kept thinking: There has to be a better way.
Finding a Natural Solution
This determination led to countless hours of research into natural alternatives that could effectively manage her condition without compromising long-term health. At the time of her diagnosis, there were few treatments on the market for Lichen Sclerosus. She explored the healing properties of various natural oils and botanicals, studying their anti-inflammatory, soothing, and regenerative qualities.
Through careful formulation and personal testing, she developed what would become our signature product: Restore Natural Oil Blend. This wasn't just another skincare product—it was a solution that actually worked to calm inflammation, soothe discomfort, and support the skin's natural healing process.
The Birth of a Name
When it came time to name her creation, our founder reflected deeply on what her formulation represented. She kept returning to one central idea: this product wasn't just about treating symptoms, it was about supporting the body's natural functions in a way that aligned with a healthy lifestyle.
It was about creating something that works with life, not against it.
And so, LifeWorks was born—a name that embodies our fundamental philosophy that effective skincare should work in harmony with your body and enhance your quality of life.
Beyond a Brand Name
Today, LifeWorks Skin Essentials stands for so much more than our founder initially imagined. What began as a personal solution has evolved into a mission to transform lives and empower women facing similar challenges.
Our name represents our commitment to:
Natural Effectiveness: Creating products that work without compromising your health
Empowerment: Providing information and solutions that give you control over your wellness journey

A Growing Vision
From that first formulation created to address Lichen Sclerosus, our products are thoughtfully developed with the same care, research, and personal testing as the original blend our founder initially used.
What hasn't changed is our foundational belief that your skin deserves gentle, effective care that works with your body's natural processes rather than disrupting them.
