About Us

At 143, we believe true beauty is born of resilience and formation. Just like a pearl, the heart of our illuminé 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. At 143, we view pearls as a microcosm to the nature of God, in how turning discomfort 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 was put into crafting a formula that supports holistic wellness and the kind of radiance that begins within.

We believe skincare should be bidirectional. Your ritual may include cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer; but the most important step being the internal step, which is 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.

About Our Name

143 is a numerical code meaning I (1) Love (4) You (3). For years, it has been my personal signature to God, written at the bottom of devotionals and journal entries as a seal of love to Him.

My prayer is that every time you take illuminé, you are reminded through His healing remedies He provided, that you are deeply loved by our Creator. I believe health and vitality is a gift meant to be shared widely. My mission is to help others experience that gift through resilience, healing, grace and the goodness God has woven into creation.

"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).
