e.b.e. was born from an anxious girly that broke her skin barrier. Founder Karsta Lowe, a former pro volleyball player, has always loved skincare. But with OCD and body dysmorphia, her interest in aesthetics quickly became an unhealthy obsession, eventually leading to acne and dermatitis (irritation).
She crashed out in 2020. Fortunately, hitting rock bottom forced her to find new coping mechanisms—alongside therapy, loved ones, and lots of trial and error. She learned to love her unique beauty (even her height: 6’4”) and found a simple yet effective skincare routine. In time, she felt enough—and still evolving. Not to mention with less stress and improved nutrition/hydration, her acne cleared and skin barrier was restored.
As an Olympic medalist, Karsta knows no one will do the work for you, especially not a “miracle fix”. Healthy habits and a repeatable routine are what really move the needle.
But she couldn’t find a brand that emphasized the power of healthy habits, instead of a so-called “miracle product”. After retiring from volleyball, Karsta found a business partner working in the beauty industry. Together, with a cosmetic chemist, they formulated a foolproof cleanser and moisturizer they use every day. It took 15 revisions! Every time they use it, they are reminded that they are already enough—but still evolving.
And so are you.
