About Us
Our Team
We were founded by a mother-daughter team that is passionate about the science and benefits of natural skincare products.
After years of reading the backs of lotion bottles, researching common ingredients, and being shocked by the toxic chemicals that run rampant in the skincare industry — we knew we wanted to be part of the solution.
So we decided to create our own brand focused on transparency, natural plant-based ingredients, quality, and a commitment to gratitude and positivity.
Ann and Jessica Marsh share a passion for lifelong learning and natural skincare. They have both completed coursework from Formula Botanica, the world’s leading accredited organic skincare school.
ANN Marsh
Chief Executive Officer
Ann is a retired attorney who spent 35 years helping families plan for their and their children’s financial future. As fun as that was, she felt the call to create a natural skincare company for women – so she took the leap into entrepreneurship.
Jessica Marsh
Chief Operating Officer
After many years of working in the insurance industry, Jessica brings her business, operations, and management experience to Grateful Life Skin Care – along with her passion for nontoxic beauty. In addition to her work for Grateful Life Skin Care, Jessica also has her own custom jewelry line.Theresa Valenta
Chief Inspiration Officer
Theresa is our Mother/Grandmother. In her 90’s, she is still vibrant, fun and, yes, inspiring. The mother of 8 children, 16 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren, she has taught her family the importance of kindness, honesty and hard work. She has instilled in all of us a love for, and service to, God, family, friends and community.
Our Core Values
We strive to bring a sense of gratitude, peace, and serenity to the skincare industry. Our name, culture, and educational resources empower our customers to age gracefully, make the best choices for their skin, and live with a grateful heart.
Grateful Life Skin Care’s business decisions are made in alignment with these four core values:
Ingredients
Women shouldn’t have to slather toxic chemicals on their skin to feel beautiful – especially when nature has gifted us with plant-based alternatives. Our products use safe and natural ingredients to add moisture, reduce fine lines and pigmentation, and increase radiance.
Integrity
Each step of our customer experience is driven by the question “What is the right thing to do?” From choosing our ingredients, creating our products, selecting our packaging materials, responding to customer inquiries, and sharing information, our actions will always be ruled by doing the right thing.
Transparency
Our customers deserve full transparency when it comes to the ingredients in our products. We provide information on our website about every single one of our ingredients so women can do their own research and make empowered skincare choices for themselves.
Optimism
We view aging through a lens of hope and optimism. Our products are meant to be a mind-body experience that help women look good, feel good, and embrace the joys of life at any age. Whether it’s a luxurious face oil or a quiet moment in nature, there is always much to be grateful for.
Our Story
We were founded by a mother-daughter team, spurred on by the inspiration of mother/grandmother Theresa. We are passionate about the science and benefits of natural skincare products. We are a faith-based company that strives to honor God and all that He has given us. We are grateful for the gifts that have been given to us, and vow to use those gifts to the best of our ability to bring an honorable company to you, our customers.
Natural skincare has been a “hobby” for us for years, and we decided to bring our best to women of all ages.
Where did our name come from? We have looked back on our lives and realize that even with all the traumas and bad decisions, we have so much more to be grateful for. We live, and will continue to live, a Grateful Life, and we hope that, in some small way, we can help you do the same.
Our Ingredients
Grateful Life Skin Care infuses high-quality natural oils like jojoba oil with nutritional plant materials such as rose, cranberry, jasmine green tea, hibiscus, and lavender.
This signature process helps our customers experience increased moisture, softened wrinkles, and a healthy and joyful glow.
