Hi beauty,
I’m Tabita van der Geer and I am the owner and formulator of Lou La Belle Skin Care!
Lou La Belle’s founder, Alyssa Johnston began formulating products in 2013, on a quest to creating the naturally effective skin care she couldn’t find on the market. Lou La Belle officially launched in 2015, eventually gracing the pages of Canadian Living and The Globe and Mail. During this time, I was developing a passion for fitness, nutrition, and holistic living. When I graduated as a Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, LLB products were my go-to!
In the spring of 2022, Alyssa made an inquiry to explore whether there was potential interest for someone to take over LLB, and I immediately felt called to connect with her.
Through our conversations, it became clear that Lou La Belle did not have to come to an end. My desire to explore entrepreneurial ventures and incorporate my education in Holistic Nutrition into my career aligned perfectly with the brand and products Alyssa had created. In September of 2022, LLB officially transferred ownership.
This new chapter has been so exciting and inspiring for me! From formulating new products to integrating holistic services for hormonal health, there are many exciting things on the horizon for Lou La Belle, and I hope you’ll follow me along for them!
A few things about me:
I lead with my heart, and second guess with my head. My answer to “what do you want to be when you grow up” has changed about a dozen times since childhood. I’m a firm believer of life-long curiosity and play. My favourite place is anywhere air, earth, and water intersect.
My favourite things in life are:
my family, my partner, a nourishing meal made with the help of a kitchen dance party, a mesmerizing book and a warm soak in the tub. Oh, and spreadsheets.
