Our Connecticut Roots in the Spotlight
Rose and I couldn’t be prouder to share that AmaSKN was recently featured in the Hartford Courant — our local paper that has been telling the stories of Connecticut for generations. To see our journey recognized in print, right here at home, was such a humbling moment.
A Local Brand With Global Reach
The Courant highlighted what makes AmaSKN unique: though our brand is rooted in Deep River, Connecticut, our reach is truly international. Our inspiration and ingredients come from the Amazon Rainforest — botanicals like cacay oil, açai, murumuru, and ucuuba — and our products are loved by people across the U.S. and beyond.
Skincare That Gives Back

Bootstrapped and Independent
One thing the Hartford Courant shared is how we’ve built AmaSKN from scratch. No investors, no shortcuts — just our savings, our late nights, and our belief that we could create something beautiful and meaningful. Being featured reminds us that hard work and passion can carry you far.
