KATHAROS STORY
​
Our name KATHAROS, is a word of Greek origin, means, Purity and Cleanliness, Inside and Outside. Taken from a Bible verse that defines that we have to keep first our purity and cleanliness, inside, our spirit, our healthy emotional health, to motivating us to care for and protect our exterior, our skin, and achieve the perfect balance. As the same beauty is…
Since childhood, thanks to my grandmother, I learned to appreciate and use hygienic and skin care products made with handmade botanical and natural ingredients, she made soaps and other natural products for our family. I grew up with that love for everything that comes from nature and as an adult I began to take trainings with the experts to learn and create all-natural handcrafted artisan soaps and skincare products.
Over the past years I sold my natural products as a sideline business, between family and friends, the response was overwhelming and soon I decided to devote to this full time.
​
But unfortunately, three years ago, when I being ready to launch my online store, I faced an very aggressive cancer, I had to undergo a very invasive surgery, an intense recovery, treatments and medications that cause many side effects. Did I feel afraid? Yes I felt it, but, after leaving my surgery, seeing myself alive, I understood that I am here for a purpose, I had a new chance at life, thank God. Now, I am more identified than ever with those people who have suffered from cancer, I thank God that I have risen and I ask him strongly for all those who fight so that they can win that battle. I am a ileostomy patient and I am not ashamed or afraid to say it, something has changed in my body, in my organism, but I am still me. I share this because I joined groups of ileostomy patients and sometimes many are afraid to express their condition, I tell them, their hearts and souls are still intact and those who love us, will continue to love us no matter what.
During my period of treatment and convalescence, I did not want to be detained, I was educating myself, documenting myself, training myself, in a virtual manner, to expand my knowledge and skills, learn more about each ingredient and its properties, discovering new ones, creating new formulas.
​
I continue with this dream that I have had from a very young age, more motivated and enthusiastic than ever to be able to share the benefits of Mother Nature within my different products.
​
Thank God, my family, my friends, my Doctor!! They are my strengths, also represented in the words FAITH, LOVE and HOPE! The ones that sustained me in my battle.
I feel a great responsibility and commitment with the demand of a consumer community in which every day grows the desire and need to have a reliable resource where they can get natural, botanicals products for hygiene and skin care for their use and their families.
