Intoxicating Beauty is a clean beauty, wellness and lifestyle brand. It was born when our founder, Teresa Norvell, began creating customized skincare “cocktails” in her kitchen. A business owner, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and former model, Teresa has always counted skincare, wine, spirits, saké, craft brew and wellness among her passions. She earned a Cicerone certification, which demonstrates a special mastery of beer styles and beer service. She also has studied wine, saké, spirits and plant-based cooking.
While putting herself through law school, Teresa’s mother was diagnosed with the late stages of breast cancer. A year after her graduation, Teresa loss her mother to the battle of breast cancer at 55 years old. This sparked a lifelong passion for health and wellness, and a commitment to clean ingredients.
In 2015, Teresa experienced several severe eczema outbreaks stemming from the stress she was experiencing from her legal career. Her dermatologist prescribed steroids and other meds which she didn’t like being on. She was forced to use unscented skincare and body care products which were not wrapped in pretty packaging. They appeared very clinical, full of parabens and other toxic ingredients and looked like white goop in a jar. She was concerned about her health with using products full of these toxic ingredients especially due to losing her mom to breast cancer.
