ERin
Erin Hewgley, a Nashville native, is the founder and formulator of Erin Body Care, a whole body skin and hair care line built on a simple conviction: your skin is your body’s largest organ and it deserves food-grade ingredients. An accomplished artist/welder/sculptor with an MFA in Sculpture, Erin earned her Certificate in Integrative Health and Nutrition and began formulating nutrient-focused products in 2013. Crafting what she couldn't find on any shelf, she began making purely natural, non-toxic skin and hair care, handcrafted in small batches, many from ingredients she grows and tends to on her own land - no pesticides, preservatives, or compromise; creating skin care so pure you could eat it for over 13 years. Erin shares her plant science studies, formulating knowledge, and hands-on manufacturing experience with The Herbalist Collective.
A seasoned educator and facilitator, Erin teaches workshops on everything from welding to aromatherapy.
