Biochemist Launches Kickstarter to Fund Innovative Skin Care Company

GREAT FALLS, Va. - Oct. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Amalthea Ridge, LLC, located in the heart of the Washington D.C. metro area, recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to upgrade and expand production of their unique artisanal skin care products.

In 2011, biochemist Sarah Wehri, PhD was concerned by her daughter’s sensitive skin. After a frustrating search, she failed to find a product that relieved her daughter’s skin irritation. Instead of continuing to search, Wehri began researching natural ingredients and decided to create something just for her. Soon family and friends started making product requests, so selling them on a small scale seemed like the next logical step.

Dr. Wehri uses her knowledge of protein and lipid biochemistry to formulate unique, skin-supporting products. “From the first formulations, Amalthea Ridge has focused on high-quality, natural ingredients and our homestead fresh goat milk as the foundation of our products. We make a point of sourcing organic and fair trade ingredients with a preference for local ingredients whenever available.”

Now, Wehri and her husband, Keyvan Moussavi, MBA, are ready for the next step in their business. “We continue to experience increased demand for our unique skin care products from direct consumers and retail stores requesting to resell them. Our current equipment is unable to keep up with demand,” explains Wehri. “A successful Kickstarter campaign would mean the purchase of equipment to meet demand as well as materials to begin creation of the next generation of Amalthea Ridge products.”

Amalthea Ridge products include lotions, face creams, soaps, cleansers, scrubs and balms, with more products in the development pipeline. The company offers consulting and formulation services for individuals with unique skin care needs as well as special packages for baby showers, weddings and corporate events.

Project backers can select a variety of rewards composed of Amalthea Ridge products. Gift wrap is included upon request. The $500+ reward level allows backers to work with Dr. Wehri to create custom products. The company is working hard to ensure rewards ship in time for holiday gift giving!
