RMY Homemade Goods Natural Skin Care: Handcrafted Beauty Rooted in Faith and Passion brings a fresh approach to beauty and wellness. The business offers a thoughtful range of handcrafted skin and hair care products made with natural ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, and a genuine commitment to small-batch quality. Owner and formulator Robin Youngblood has built her brand on a foundation of faith, education, and passion for helping others feel confident in their own skin. What began as a creative pastime—making soap at home—quickly grew into a calling. “First and foremost, I have to thank the Lord for inspiring this journey,” Robin shares. “Soapmaking started as something I enjoyed doing, but I soon realized I wanted to create more—to understand how ingredients work and how to truly benefit the skin.” Following that inspiration, Robin pursued professional training in cosmetic formulation. She earned her Diploma in Organic Skin Care from an accredited formulation school and is now continuing her studies in Organic Hair Care Formulation. Through this education, she has gained the skills to design safe, effective, and innovative products that cater to all skin and hair types. What makes RMY Homemade Goods stand out is the personalized touch behind every product. Robin formulates each batch herself, ensuring quality, freshness, and care goes into every item. Her customers appreciate the ability to customize products to meet their specific skincare or haircare needs—something rare in a world of mass-produced cosmetics. RMY Homemade Goods’ collection includes cleansers, moisturizers, facial serums, shampoo bars, and more, all created with plant-based ingredients and mineral-rich actives. Each product reflects Robin’s belief that nature provides everything needed to achieve healthy, glowing sk (Scott Anderson)
