About Althaea

Althaea was founded on a simple belief: that the purest botanicals, thoughtfully combined, can nourish, protect, and heal the skin.

Our products are formulated by Laura Josephson, CCH — a board-certified homeopath, herbalist, and author with over 27 years of practice in Nyack, NY and New York City. Laura is the author of A Homeopathic Handbook of Natural Remedies (Random House, 2002), and a longtime teacher, lecturer, and mentor to aspiring homeopaths.

Each Althaea blend is built from organic, wildcrafted, and sustainably sourced ingredients selected from around the world — a synergy of botanical extracts, essential oils, and homeopathy created to meet your skincare needs at the highest standard of quality.

Thank you for being part of the Althaea community.
