About us
Hi, I'm Chelsea Villela, I am a Molecular and Cellular Biologist, Bio Chemist and I have a degree in Organic Skin Care Formulation. I am the founder and formulator of Økologi Botanik. By day, I work in cancer diagnostics research, where precision, data, and a deep understanding of biology guide everything I do. That same scientific mindset shapes every formula I create. I develop plant-based skincare that bridges the best of nature and science. I choose ingredients not because they're trendy, but because they serve a purpose that delivers results.
Skincare is more than chemistry to me. Growing up in the mountains of California, I developed a love of nature, plants, and the stories you find in the woods. Each product I formulate is thoughtfully crafted to link effective botanicals, gentle actives, and my unique esthetic. I put years of research into formulas designed to nourish the skin that stand the test of time. I believe deeply in my formulas because they are the best skin care I’ve ever used and if you ask my customers, they agree! My goal has always been simple: create products with integrity, educate people with transparency, and help you have your absolute healthiest, happiest skin.
