About Harborside Bath & Body

Clean beauty with heart, from our family to yours.

Family is at the core of everything I do. It’s what keeps me grounded, inspired, and curious. Harborside Bath & Body began with a love of skincare passed down from my beloved, lipstick-wearing Grandma—who taught my sisters and me the importance of taking care of our skin (and never forgetting our necks!).

At the age of 39, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, which I was convinced was genetic due to my family history. However, over a period of 10+ years, I'd been genetically tested three different times (trying to find answers for my kids), but nothing showed up genetically. After retiring from the corporate world, my third and final round of genetic testing was at MD Anderson. I was told something by a doctor that changed my perspective: It might not be genetic after all. It could be environmental—something in the food we eat or the products we use.

That was my wake-up call.

While I don't know the cause of my cancer, I set out on a mission to find clean, plant-based products made without harmful chemicals… and I quickly realized how hard it was to find reputable brands. That’s when the idea for Harborside Bath & Body came to life—with the help (and gentle push!) from my sister Bridget.

Rooted in the beauty of my hometown of Rogers City, Michigan—on the shores of Lake Huron—Harborside is a celebration of clean ingredients, small-batch makers, and the power of women. Our curated collection features products from trusted, women-owned and women led brands that are organic, or clean, and plant based, and of course, cruelty-free.

From nationally recognized names like Elina Organics and Sigma Beauty to Michigan-made favorites like Great Lakes Bath & Body and Dirty Girl Farm, we bring together the best of clean beauty—all in one convenient, feel-good place.

Whether you're shopping in our charming storefront or browsing online, we’re here to help you feel good in your skin and confident about what you're putting on it.
