Hydrate + Repair Face Cream
Emmaline Molloy ’13, B.S. Art Education, founder and owner
Valley Botanicals is a natural, plant-based skincare line located in Big Sur, California, offering a full line of creams, toners, salves, deodorants, and candles. All products are handcrafted in small batches and do not contain any chemicals, parabens, or toxic preservatives. The plants used are grown and harvested by Emmaline or are locally sourced.
Emmaline’s inspiration for the business: I became interested in using natural, plant-based skincare products when it became difficult to find products that worked well for my sensitive skin. When I moved to California from New York, the warmer yearly climate, and the property I lived on, made it easy for me to grow medicinal plants that I began using to help my skin.
How Saint Rose helped Emmaline’s career: Saint Rose made me a confident and motivated individual! I had inspirational and encouraging professors throughout my college experience who helped prepare me to handle real-life situations. I never imagined owning a business while studying to be an art educator, but I still use so much of what I learned while at Saint Rose in my business.
