Our Story
At Hello To Natural™, we believe in getting back to the basics—creating and using healthy, plant-based products that truly nourish your hair, skin, and body. Many conventional hair and skincare products are filled with chemicals that may do more harm than good. We’re here to offer a better way: high-quality, natural, and affordable solutions that you can trust.
Beyond providing clean, effective products, we are committed to uplifting our community through entrepreneurship and education. We aim to invest in innovation and inspire young people to reach their full potential. Part of our vision includes supporting students with the passion and drive to make the world a better place.

We’re a husband-and-wife team from Chicago, passionate about natural hair, skin, and body care. In 2017, after months of research and planning, we launched Hello To Natural LLC—a company we could be proud of and one that could genuinely benefit others.
We love reading, creating music, exploring nature, and cooking together. We hope to share this journey with you through our products and our mission to educate and inspire the next generation. Thank you for visiting our site, and we invite you to join our growing community!
