About Us
At 143, we believe true beauty is born of resilience and formation; that which is akin to a pearl, the heart of our formula.
When a mollusk experiences an irritant within its shell, its immune response is a pearl. What begins as a perceived disturbance becomes a quiet testament to redemption. Pearls can be seen as a microcosm of the character of God, in how turning adversity into beauty is His handiwork.
Illuminé was created to honor that story.
Our commitment is to purity, quality, and efficacy. A diligent amount of intention and time was put into crafting a formula that supports holistic wellness and the kind of radiance that begins from within.
We believe skincare should be bidirectional. Your ritual may include cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, but the most important step is the internal one, where taking illuminé would come in. 143 is intended to be seen as an equal part of your skincare routine, to support a true intrinsic glow. And, to serve as a reminder that beauty is not added, but revealed.

The Name
143 is a numerical code meaning I (1) Love (4) You (3). For years, it has been a personal signature to God, written at the bottom of every piece of writing to Him, as a seal of love.
My prayer is that every time you take illuminé, you are reminded through ingredients and remedies He created/provided, that you are deeply loved and cared for by our Creator. I hope for 143 to be a small but consistent way for God to remind you of His presence, even in the mundane wellness/supplement/skincare rituals. And, to share His gifts of healing, which He has so beautifully woven into creation for our benefit and glory of His order.
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it” (Matthew 13:45–46).
