We're here for you!
There are a lot of trends & hype in the skincare industry that make claims for healthy, more youthful-looking skin but they often fall short on delivering long-term anti-aging solutions that are truly acne-safe.

Has your skin changed...or has the world around it?
When I began my career as an esthetician in 2003, "sensitive skin" was something we saw occasionally. We treated it gently—with calming ingredients, fewer active ingredients and a "less is more" approach.
Over the years, something changed.
Today, sensitive skin feels almost like the baseline. More and more people walk into the treatment room convinced their skin has suddenly become difficult, when often it's simply responding to modern life. Stress. Hormones. Burnout. Poor sleep. Environmental exposure. Overcomplicated routines. Our skin carries that story, often showing up as chronic low-grade inflammation, dehydration and a weakened skin barrier.
That realization changed the way I thought about skincare and became the foundation of lilac + flint. Every formula is thoughtfully designed to calm inflammation, replenish hydration and strengthen the skin barrier using acne-safe ingredients that feel every bit as luxurious as they are effective.
But I also believe skincare can be more than skincare. It can be a portal back to yourself. A few intentional minutes spent cleansing your face, pressing in a serum or taking a deep breath while you massage in your moisturizer can create moments of calm in the middle of real life.
Those small rituals matter. Because real change doesn't always begin with a complete life overhaul. Sometimes it begins with a few quiet moments of caring for yourself.
That's what lilac + flint has always been about.
The Lilac + Flint Ethos
Chronic low-grade inflammation is the root of most skin issues. We believe:
* Hydration begins with the cleanse
* Calm the inflammatory pathways
* Barrier before everything
This lens guides every formula we create and every routine we recommend.

Where it all began
About Our Founders
Lilac + Flint was founded in 2019 by licensed estheticians Lindsay Flint and Erin Moens, who combined more than 40 years of professional skincare experience to create a collection that supports healthy, glowing skin without compromising on luxury.
Inspired by years of treating clients in luxury spas, med spas and wellness settings, they shared a belief that effective skincare should never force customers to choose between treating breakouts and addressing the visible signs of aging. That philosophy became the foundation of lilac + flint: thoughtfully formulated, acne-safe skincare designed to calm inflammation, replenish hydration and support a healthy skin barrier.
Today, lilac + flint has been featured in publications including Byrdie, American Spa and LA Style Magazine, and has appeared on Good Day Sacramento for its modern approach to acne-safe, barrier-supportive skincare.
