We had the good fortune of connecting with Maria Beatriz / Maria Carolina / Maria Elisa Lopez-Henriquez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maria Beatriz / Maria Carolina / Maria Elisa, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
At ekolu skincare, we truly believe our success comes from our focus on using only the highest quality, all natural ingredients available to create our products. We strive to produce the healthiest skin support options for the entire family. By doing so, we have seen our brand flourish.
We take great pride in creating the best skincare line that is plant based, sustainably made, cruelty free and pet friendly.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Working in this project has not been easy at all. We are 3 women with family, kids, jobs, divorces, late pregnancies, struggles, and above all, the day does not have enough hours for doing everything we need to do. Time has been the biggest challenge in our growth. But being aware of that natural living is a key to wellbeing, we gathered all the energy left daily and made it worked.

In the past years we have seen how all generations are trying harder than ever to to be more conscious about what they are putting into their systems.
We are sure our line of products not only help everybody to achieve a healthier way of living, but also we contribute to keep an ecosystem balanced by using only products harmless to the environment. Knowing we are contributing with that change, that we are adding wellness to the world is more than enough reason to feel immensely proud of our product.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There are several amazing places in Houston to take a loved one to visit. Visiting the Museums (Art and Science) is a must, there’re always exciting exhibits. We also love baseball and going to an Astros game is always fun. Natural Parks are our favorites, like Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou Park. They are great for picnics, barbecues and spending the whole day.
There are countless good restaurants in Houston. Depends on our friends preference we could go to: Amalfi for a delicious Italian, Taste of Texas for steak, Kata Robata for a great sushi, Pho Saigon if they feel like eating the best Pho, Fadi’s for Mediterranean and Caracol for the best Brunch!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We are three sisters who grew up in a home where being healthy was a top priority. Both our parents are doctors and they always made sure we took our health seriously. We have always been very close and even though we chose different professional paths and live in different countries we always knew wanted to have a health and beauty related business together.
We share a deep passion for a natural way of living and have used natural products most of our life but after years of dreaming the perfect product we came up with the idea of creating all natural skincare products. After long conversations with our father who has been a dermatologist for more than 50 years it was in 2016 that with his help and advisory, we believe we created the best and healthiest formulas for the skin.
We are truly thankful!
We want to start by thanking our amazing parents for their dedication and love, our families for their patience with the many hours we spent making our dream come true, our friends who have contributed with their support, and last but not least all those great customers who buy our products!
