Athena Hewett is a master esthetician with 20 years of study and training. Monastery was born out of Athena’s frustrations as she saw firsthand that many skincare products were causing or worsening the skin conditions her clients were trying to heal

Your skin has its own built-in repair and rejuvenation system. But too many products, even expensive ones, override or irritate this amazingly beautiful and powerful natural system rather than working with it. Monastery is made to help your skin do what it does best. Heal.

Every product is made by Monastery's team in their California headquarters. Making everything in-house is at the heart of putting out the best possible product and remaining aligned to their mission of healing. What goes in the bottle is a true expression of their love and appreciation for the ingredients and their natural healing properties.
