Today we’d like to introduce you to Ines Saab.
Ines, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am a Licensed facialist and certified holistic health and wellness coach in Los Angeles, California, beauty and wellness have been a tapestry woven into my life since adolescence. My mother, an alchemist in our kitchen, instilled in me the power of nature’s bounty. I vividly remember watching her cook skin-healthy Mediterranean dishes, brew rosebud toners that left her glowing with the ritual, and gently massage olive oil into her skin – these moments planted the seeds of my passion.
Today, I’m well-known for helping women embrace their natural beauty and age with grace through healthy eating, holistic beauty and wellness. My own journey wasn’t a fairytale. Years of severe, embarrassing acne compromised my skin barrier, but within those shadows bloomed a defiant resilience. I longed to reclaim my own radiance, not with harsh chemicals or empty promises, but with the wisdom of a healthy lifestyle and the time-tested power of botanicals. This profound understanding of the connection between physical and mental well-being guides my work today.
Fueled by this passion, I created “Inessa Los Angeles,” a clean beauty line. We use only the highest quality organic, plant-based ingredients, meticulously poured into chic, reusable glass bottles and recyclable packaging. The crisp white and gleaming gold evoke purity and preciousness, but it’s not just an aesthetic choice. It’s a story whispered in every curve and shimmer, speaking to the cleanliness and purity of Inessa’s ingredients – free from harsh chemicals or hidden nasties, just pure, potent plant power.
Our star product is the Rose Drops Botanical Beauty Oil, a versatile hero for your skin. Use it on its own, layer it over your skincare routine, mix it into foundation for a luminous glow, blend it with sunscreen, apply it all over your body, or even run it through your hair – the possibilities are endless. The Olive Ancient Method Cleansing Oil, meanwhile, goes beyond cleansing, formulated to nourish the skin and soothe the soul.
I’m thrilled to share my luxurious, ancient-inspired botanical brand with the world. Join us on a journey of embracing natural beauty, inner well-being, and sustainable choices.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Building Inessa Losangeles wasn’t easy. As a solo founder, I wore many hats, working an average of 60 hours a week over three years to perfect the formulations. There were even setbacks, like three attempts to get the packaging right. This process also coincided with a period of personal challenge, as my children were living far away. At times, the loneliness and pressure felt overwhelming, but my passion for INESSA LOS ANGELES kept me going. I used time management techniques, built a supportive network of fellow entrepreneurs, These experiences not only strengthened my resilience but also honed my problem-solving, communication, and time management skills – all of which I believe will be invaluable assets in this role.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As a holistic esthetician / health & wellness coach and the founder of INESSA LOS ANGELES I’m more than just a skincare specialist – I’m a passionate advocate for natural beauty and inner well-being. My mission is to empower individuals to cultivate their authentic radiance through the power of botanical ingredients and mindful practices. I don’t rely on harsh chemicals or trends. Instead, I create personalized treatment plans and handcraft luxurious, organic skincare products using potent botanical extracts and sustainable practices.
My daily life is a testament to this philosophy. I nourish my body with wholesome foods, engage in self-care rituals (which I often share with my clients!), and embrace a vibrant lifestyle. This deep connection to natural wellness fuels my infectious passion and allows me to truly connect with my clients on a holistic level.
I don’t just guide my clients through facials or product recommendations; I guide them on a journey of self-discovery and self-love. Through personalized consultations, nourishing treatments, and my handcrafted botanical products, I witness incredible transformations. My clients blossom into confident individuals who radiate natural beauty from within,
This holistic approach, combined with my genuine passion and commitment to health and wellness, sets me apart from others I’m not just selling products or services; I’m empowering individuals to cultivate a relationship with their natural beauty and inner well-being, one botanical blend at a time.
