Our Story

Picture this: the avocado, before getting its official name, was lovingly dubbed the “Alligator Pear.” This was over 100 years ago!

This adorable nickname came to life from the avocado’s exterior, a playful blend of alligator skin texture and a pear-like shape – and just like that, Alligator Pear was born!

Why did we choose it? Because it’s more than a name; it’s a perfect fusion of playfulness and a sweet nod to avocado history.

Because we love avocados!

Our Story

And, avocados are packed with skin-loving nutrients.

Their natural oils and healthy fats deeply moisturize, making them ideal for dry or sensitive skin. Rich in vitamins C, E, and A, they help boost collagen, fight free radicals, and support skin repair. Anti-inflammatory compounds calm redness and irritation, while fatty acids keep skin hydrated and supple. Plus, their antioxidants offer mild protection against UV damage (though not a sunscreen replacement).

All of our products are proudly handcrafted in small batches in the USA to ensure quality and freshness.

Our Radiant Glow Facial Oil is crafted with premium unrefined, organic avocado oil—an ingredient rich in essential nutrients, antioxidants, and fatty acids. Combined with a blend of soothing botanical oils and no unnecessary additives, it's clean, effective skincare at its purest.

Apply 1–2 drops to clean, dry skin and gently massage in upward, circular motions. You can use it morning, night, or both—layer under makeup for added glow.

Not at all. The formula is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't block pores. It absorbs beautifully, leaving skin soft, nourished, and glowing—not greasy.

Our non-comedogenic formula is gentle enough for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, combination, oily, and mature skin. It hydrates without clogging pores or causing breakouts.

Your skin’s needs can change with the seasons. In winter, dry air and indoor heating can strip moisture from your skin, so you may find you need a little more oil to stay hydrated and glowing. In summer, be sure to use the facial oil because it helps prevent dehydration from sun exposure or air conditioning. Just adjust the amount you use accordingly.

It’s a water-activated, non-comedogenic exfoliating treatment designed to gently cleanse, buff away dead skin cells, and nourish your skin using organic, skin-loving ingredients.

Use 2–3 times a week. Dispense a quarter-sized amount into wet palms, rub together to activate, then gently massage onto your face in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Karen prefers to put five dime-sized amounts on her face - forehead, cheeks, nose and chin then wets her hands and gently massages in circular motions to have fabulous skin! She then uses a warm washcloth to rinse her face and then splashes water on her face.

Erin does the same five, dime-sized amounts on her face right before going in the shower. She exfoliates her skin in the shower for it to feel hydrated and luxurious. She then uses a warm washcloth to rinse her face and wipe off any excess polish.

Our Luxurious Exfoliating Facial Polish blends organic coconut water, rice flour, and a luxurious mix of organic oils—including unrefined, organic avocado, apricot, and argan oils—for a truly gentle, hydrating exfoliation experience. No harsh scrubs, no harmful additives.

All skin types! It’s gentle enough for dry, combination, oily, and mature skin. Its non-comedogenic formula won’t clog pores.

Absolutely. It’s the perfect prep step for serums, facial oils, and moisturizers. Polished skin absorbs products more effectively.
