Our Story
Alchemy was born from a frustration with conventional healthcare and a personal journey to heal skin and gut issues naturally. We discovered that true wellness starts from within - your gut is the foundation of clear skin and overall health. While topicals only mask symptoms, nourishing your body from the inside creates lasting change.
We created Skin + Gut to make this approach simple - an easy daily ritual with prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and skin-supporting nutrients.
Our mission is to empower you to take control of your health naturally, unlock true radiance and heal from within.
Welcome to Alchemy.

Lucy's Story
"I started experiencing skin issues at 14, and by 15, I was prescribed the pill to clear my complexion. It worked - I finally had clear skin. But while my skin improved, my hormones suffered, disrupting my periods and overall well-being.
For the next six years, I found myself in a constant cycle - going on and off the pill - only to have my hormones spiral out of control every time I stopped, and my skin worsened each time. Eventually, I developed hormonal acne that was far more severe than before I started the pill. I desperately tried every topical treatment I could find, but nothing worked. It wasn’t until 2018, when I began researching natural remedies and working with a naturopath, that everything changed.
Through extensive research and a holistic approach, I was able to balance my hormones and heal my skin from within. Today, I no longer struggle with hormonal acne, and I’m passionate about helping others discover that real, lasting solutions exist - even if they’ve been told otherwise. That’s why I created Skin + Gut, using the very ingredients that helped me heal my body naturally."
Talia's Story
"For years, I struggled with gut issues, fatigue, and relentless bloating - no matter what I ate. Doctors labeled it IBS, told me it was common, and that I’d just have to live with it. But deep down, I refused to accept that there was no real solution.
2019 was my turning point. Frustrated with the lack of answers, I immersed myself in research, determined to find a way to heal. That’s when everything changed. I discovered that when given the right tools, our bodies are capable of healing naturally - not just masking symptoms, but addressing the root cause.
I spent years experimenting with superfoods, prebiotics, and gut-supporting nutrients, learning what truly made my gut thrive. And over time, I healed. No more bloating. No more discomfort. No more “IBS”.
I’ve met so many people struggling with the same issues, trapped in the same cycle, and I knew I had to create something that could truly help - just as it helped me. Skin + Gut is the solution I wish I had, so you don’t have to spend years searching for answers."
