About Alex & Leigh Originals
Handcrafted Beauty Rooted in Nature
At Alex & Leigh Originals, every product begins with intention — a moment of inspiration, a botanical that catches our eye, a need we see in our community, or a memory tied to nature. What started as a passion for clean, whole‑ingredient skincare has grown into a full apothecary line of handcrafted haircare, skincare, and wellness products made for people who value purity, performance, and the quiet luxury of small‑batch craftsmanship.
We believe beauty should feel honest. It should feel nourishing. And it should feel like something made with care — not mass‑produced, not filled with synthetics, and not rushed. Just real ingredients, real benefits, and real results.
Our Story
Alex & Leigh Originals was born out of a simple frustration: the difficulty of finding personal care products that were truly clean, genuinely effective, and made by people who cared about what went into every jar and bar. So we started making our own.
What began as small batches for family and friends grew into something bigger — a community of people who share our belief that what you put on your body matters just as much as what you put in it. Today, every product we make is still mixed, poured, and packaged by hand, in small batches, with the same intention that started it all.
Our Philosophy: Whole‑Ingredient, Small‑Batch, Purpose‑Driven
Every formula we create is guided by a simple promise: if it doesn't serve your skin or hair, it doesn't go in the bottle.
We formulate with:
- Organic oils and botanical extracts
- Hydrosols and plant‑derived actives
- Clays and mineral pigments
- ECO‑certified preservatives
No fillers. No synthetic fragrances. No harsh chemicals. Just clean, effective ingredients chosen for their purity and purpose.
Because we work in small batches, you may notice natural variations in color, texture, or scent from batch to batch — that's not a flaw, it's a feature. It means your product is made with real botanicals, not standardized synthetics.
How Our Products Are Made
Every product at Alex & Leigh Originals is handcrafted from scratch. We source high‑quality, organic ingredients from trusted suppliers, formulate in small batches to preserve freshness and potency, and package with care. There are no shortcuts in our process because there are no shortcuts in nature.
Our line spans:
- Skincare: Tallow balms, botanical cleansing creams, hydrosol‑based lotions, organic oil blends, artisan soaps, and after‑sun care
- Haircare: Small‑batch shampoo bars formulated for specific hair types and concerns — sulfate‑free, low‑waste, and effective
- Wellness: Herbal syrups, tinctures, and DMSO products crafted with the same whole‑ingredient integrity
- Baby‑safe products: Gentle formulas made with the most sensitive skin in mind
Our Ingredients: Why They Matter
We're ingredient nerds — in the best way. We choose every botanical, oil, and extract based on its properties, its sourcing, and its compatibility with the skin. A few favorites you'll find throughout our line:
- Tallow – Rendered from grass‑fed beef, tallow is rich in fat‑soluble vitamins and fatty acids that closely mimic the skin's natural composition, making it exceptionally nourishing.
- Rosehip & Blue Tansy – Prized for their skin‑supporting antioxidants and soothing properties.
- Rosemary CO₂ & Black Cumin Seed Oil – Featured in our scalp and hair growth formulas for their support of healthy follicles and circulation.
- Lavender Hydrosol – A gentle, aromatic base that soothes and balances.
- Organic Clays – From rhassoul to French green to pink clay, each chosen for its specific cleansing and conditioning benefits.
We're always happy to share more about why we chose a particular ingredient — just reach out.
