Julietta Fiscella M.D., C.P.E, F.C.A.P.
I am a physician who has spent my career studying the body on a microscopic level. I know the skin is not just a surface. It’s the largest organ of the body, and it deserves just as much care and protection as the heart, lungs, or brain. Every day, our skin is exposed to environmental toxins, bacteria (some beneficial) fungi, and inflammation, made worse by artificial ingredients in many conventional products that destroy its protective barrier. Because I understand the skin deeply, I was frustrated with store bought moisturizers. They were mostly water, a few chemicals and fillers. Hydration disappeared within hours. My skin, especially as I got older needed something that stayed. Something that actually nourished. I went back to what I learned as a child in the Caribbean. In my culture, moisture is not about vanity, it is protection from the scorching sun and salty air. We rubbed thick coconut and castor oils into our skin, oils that took many hours to craft by hand. Good oil took patience, Every night we pressed those warm oils into our skin, slowly, carefully, over our entire body. It carried memory. That memory became JuleeGlow. I discovered Shea butter and knew it could be my base, but recreating that traditional richness required months of trial and error. Too grainy, too soft, too oil. I applied my physician training: precise temperature control at every stage to preserve nutrients without degrading delicate ingredients. After 10 batches I finally created it- a body butter as rich as effective as the oils in my childhood, formulated specifically for aging skin. the skincare that honors your skin the way those St. Lucian women honored theirs, with patience, intention and ingredients that work.
