becandidskincare's formulator, founder of Luff Botanicals, Gladys Tan, blending perfumery.

Hey,

I’m Gladys, a NAHA certified Aromatherapist, & a skincare formulator for more than 2 decades.

My journey started back in 2004, when I was trying to heal my baby’s eczema by making natural skincare, but found so much misinformation from books and online about formulation and aromatherapy.

My curiosity about formulation safety led me to many years of studying, learning from mentors like Jeanne Rose, among many others.

I went to take several certifications such as aromatherapy, perfumery, anatomy & physiology, body massage, herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM, acupuncture & distillation …

Frankly, this learning journey never stopped.

In 2018, Luff Botanicals was created to bring clarity and honesty to the aromatherapy and skincare market.

Luff simply means LOVE FOR BOTANICALS.

Glowing Skin Starts from Within

 

A beautiful skin is a reflection of your inner wellness

handwritten words on the sand, showing body mind spirit in bold letters, with waves coming in

 

True Radiance is an Inside-Out Job

Lasting results require a multi-prong approach:

nourishing your skin from the outside

supporting your body from within

Balance your body, mind, spirit & transform your skin.

 

"Holistic" means treating the mind, body, spirit, in totality, and not just the symptoms (which is allopathic)

 

And that’s our approach

If you’re passionate to learn holistic wellness, come join me on our newsletter “Wellness with Luff”.

You will learn all about aromatherapy, and more topics like:

  • Aromatherapy
  • Perfumery
  • Distillation
  • Food Therapy
  • TCM/Herbalism

May you Glow & Shine with us!

I first met Gladys at one of my hands-on distillation intensives in 2018. Since 2018, she has continued to study distillation and hydrosols with me through both my online courses and books. She is an avid learner and passionated about her studies. I find her work in Aromatherapy and Herbalism to be of high integrity and well-researched. I recommend her endeavors, be they workshops or skincare formulations.
