Founder Karsta Lowe reached the pinnacle of athletics as an Olympic volleyball player—but off the court, she was quietly struggling. Burdened by self-doubt, she spent years chasing confidence through the beauty aisle, buying into the promise of "miracle" products.

Instead of healing, the endless cycle of harsh actives broke her skin barrier, leaving her with painful acne, rashes, and total frustration.

Realizing no bottle could fix what was happening on the inside, Karsta changed course. She prioritized the non-negotiables: therapy, sleep, hydration, nutrition, and hormone balance. She shifted her focus from looking good to feeling good.

Ironically (or not), her skin transformed.

Through that recovery, her personal mantra was born: “I am enough, but evolving.” You can love the skin you're in today while still building better habits for tomorrow.

When Karsta went looking for clean, affordable skincare that supported this habit-first philosophy—without exaggerated claims or 10-step fluff—she found a void. So, she partnered with an industry insider and a master cosmetic chemist. 15 iterations later, e.b.e. was born: simple and transparent skincare designed to support the work you do yourself.
