The Flake Escape started because "sensitive" kept burning
I built The Flake Escape out of necessity, not ambition. After years of red, burning, flaky skin, I stopped chasing "gentle" products that still stung and worked with a veteran cosmetic chemist to make something that finally worked - fragrance free, barrier-focused, and made with simplicity in mind.
My Story
I’ve lived with skin that reacts to everything. I learned ingredient lists the hard way and kept a flare diary. When “sensitive” products still hurt, I built what I needed: fewer variables, clear labels, and formulas I feel comfortable using daily.
What I Believe
• Simple beats complicated for reactive skin.
• No fragrance or masking scents.
• Clear labels; no vague claims.
• Third-party sensitive-skin testing over trends.
• If it’s not useful on a hard day, it’s not useful.
Why I Started
Every formula I create is guided by science, empathy, and lived experience - because I've spent years navigating skin that reacts to everything. I wanted to make skincare that people like me could actually use everyday without fear or flare-ups.
