About Andrea

Bailey’s Butters is a handcrafted, all-natural skincare brand dedicated to nourishing the skin with pure, botanical ingredients. Founded by Andrea, a passionate advocate for holistic health, Bailey’s Butters was born from a desire to provide high-quality, chemical-free skincare products that promote wellness from the outside in.

Andrea holds a Master’s in Public Health from Walden University and a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Black Studies from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. With a background in nutrition, disease prevention, and holistic health, she has spent years studying the deep connection between what we put in and on our bodies. Her passion and expertise in herbal medicine, natural remedies, and skincare formulation allows her to craft products that support both skin health and overall well-being.

Bailey’s Butters offers a range of handmade body butters, botanical soaps, body scrubs, facial serums, and hair oils, all made with pure, plant-based ingredients. Every product is intentionally formulated with herbs, essential oils, and nutrient-rich botanicals to ensure a luxurious, nourishing experience for all skin types free from harsh chemicals and synthetic additives.

Andrea’s passion for herbalism and spending time in nature plays a key role in every product. She believes in the healing power of plants and carefully selects ingredients that restore, hydrate, and protect the skin. Her love for the outdoors fuels her commitment to sustainable, nature-inspired self-care that aligns with the body’s natural rhythms.

Beyond skincare, Andrea is dedicated to education and community outreach. She has traveled internationally to Tanzania to teach tribes about nutrition, prevention methods, well-being, and skincare. She has also partnered with social media influencers, fitness businesses, and holistic health professionals to further the mission of Bailey’s Butters helping people feel confident in their natural beauty while embracing a healthier lifestyle.

With a deep-rooted belief in faith, wellness, and service, Bailey’s Butters is more than just skincare it’s a movement toward intentional, holistic self-care, inspired by the wisdom of nature.

What inspired you to start a business?

The inspiration behind starting Bailey’s Butters came from a deeply personal need. I had always been passionate about living a healthy, natural lifestyle, yet when it came to skincare, I struggled to find a product that aligned with my values. I was on the hunt for something that was not only effective but also truly natural and free from harmful chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and artificial additives. I wanted something that would nourish my skin without compromising my health. But every product I tried seemed to fall short in some way.

Frustrated by the lack of options that met my standards, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I turned to my background in public health, nutrition, and herbalism to begin researching and experimenting with natural ingredients that could truly support healthy, glowing skin. Through trial and error, I started crafting products that were gentle yet effective, incorporating plant-based, nutrient-rich ingredients that I knew would provide the care my skin needed.

As I created these products for myself, I realized that I wasn’t the only one searching for clean, all-natural skincare solutions. There were so many people looking for products that didn’t contain harmful chemicals or synthetics, but instead, ones that would nourish and protect their skin in a healthy, holistic way. This was when I decided to turn my passion for natural skincare into something more a brand that would make these high-quality, handmade, all-natural products accessible to others.

Bailey’s Butters was born out of my desire to provide not just a product but a holistic skincare experience. By blending my love for nature, holistic health, and herbalism, I created a line of skincare that I could trust and believe in something that would not only work for me but could also help others feel confident and radiant in their own skin. What started as a simple search for the right skincare products for myself turned into a larger mission to offer healthier, more sustainable alternatives to the beauty industry.

What is your vision for the future of your business?

My vision for the future of Bailey’s Butters is to continue growing as a brand that not only offers high-quality, natural skincare products but also serves as a catalyst for holistic wellness and self-care education. I see Bailey’s Butters expanding beyond just skincare, offering a complete wellness experience that supports healthy living, both inside and out.

In the coming years, I envision creating a wellness community where people can find resources, support, and inspiration to live their healthiest lives. This might include workshops, retreats, and online resources focused on nutrition, herbal medicine, self-care and mindfulness practices. I want to empower people to make informed choices about their wellness, whether that’s through what they put on their skin or how they nourish their bodies and minds.

Another key aspect of the vision is expanding our reach globally. After my experience traveling to Tanzania to teach about nutrition, prevention, well-being, and skincare, I’m deeply passionate about community outreach and education. I see Bailey’s Butters continuing to support global wellness initiatives, providing education and resources in underserved communities, and helping spread the message of holistic health around the world. My goal is to travel globally to teach individuals about well-being, skincare, and holistic health, furthering the mission of Bailey’s Butters to empower people everywhere to embrace healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.
