Farm-to-Face Skincare. Handcrafted in Small Batches. Rooted in Community.
We make clean skincare in the heart of New York’s Hudson Valley, using naturally derived ingredients that nourish your skin and support the farmers and makers who inspire us every day.
Our mission is simple: create effective, affordable skincare that gives back.
A love letter to the Hudson Valley, one bottle at a time.
Founded in 2011, Hudson Valley Skin Care brings the magic of one of New York’s most beautiful and inspiring regions into your daily ritual.
Formulated by Cathie Arpino, a cosmetic chemist since 1988, each product is crafted with expert precision and deep reverence for nature. We combine vitamin-rich butters, oils, and locally sourced ingredients into luxurious, small-batch skincare. Always cruelty-free, consciously priced, and handcrafted right here in Upstate New York.
But this is more than skincare, it’s a lifestyle.
We’re inspired by the Hudson Valley’s majestic mountains, waterfalls, and farmer’s markets— the same ones that draw people from all over the world. That energy, calm, and vitality lives in every bottle we create.
From trail to tub, our mission is to make you feel closer to the land, and better in your skin.

Our artisanal, small-batch approach means each product captures the spirit of the region: vibrant, calming, and deeply rooted in nature. This is skincare made slowly, intentionally, and with soul.
