Vacation State of Mind Lip Balm Trio

Kathy Yen was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, where resourcefulness and mindful living shaped her values. Now based in Brooklyn, she brings that same intentionality to every product she creates. After a career in high-end fashion production, Kathy transitioned into clean personal care, driven by a desire to make products that are both effective and beautiful. Largely self-taught, she learned formulation by working closely with labs and small producers. Inspired by her son and nieces, Kathy uses clean, plant-based ingredients and eco-conscious materials. Each product reflects her care for family, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
