The Story Behind Alpiniå Labs
Katie's Journey: From Real Estate to Revolutionary Clean Products
Katie was never going to work for someone else. Raised by entrepreneurial parents, she was thrown headfirst into real estate development with little training and no handouts. It was tough. There were tears. But she learned, she built, and she grew.
Something deeper called to her. She began crafting with her hands—first baking, then candles and soaps, then jewelry. But mass-produced pieces felt empty. Katie wanted meaning in every detail.
What started as simple soap bars at Colorado farmers markets soon became something revolutionary. Body butters dense with nutrients. Flower extracts she and her family began growing themselves. It wasn't just skincare—it was nourishment rooted in real soil and real effort.
The "Skin First Philosophy" Revolution
Katie's love of fitness transformed how she thought about health. If what goes in your body affects your well-being, why wouldn't what goes on your body matter just as much?
That mindset led to a clean, potent reinvention of everyday essentials—like laundry and dish detergent—crafted not only to work better, but to be better. No fillers. No toxins. Just high-quality formulas that are truly clean.
The Florida Innovation Lab
When Katie's family moved to Florida, her vision came into focus. Longer growing seasons gave them freedom to cultivate their own herbs and flowers. Her father, Brian—a chemist at heart—became her research and development partner, helping transform botanicals into powerful plant-based actives.

Family First
Every formula starts with the same question: "What would we use in our own home?" Because we use these products too.
