ABOUT DESERT IN BLOOM COSMETICS LAB

Desert In Bloom Cosmetics Labs formulates sophisticated Clean Beauty cosmetic products for Indie Beauty Brands. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico is operated by Mark Broussard. Mark has an undergraduate degree in Microbiology and Masters Degrees in Organic Chemistry and Business Administration from the University of Texas – Austin. He has several years experience in venture capital and private equity focusing on investments in the Healthcare, Environmental and Biotechnology industries.

In 2010, Mark founded Desert In Bloom, a medical spa where he and his staff focused on treating acne using a variety of esthetic techniques, including lasers. In researching acne, Mark’s curiosity was piqued regarding the state-of-the-art in topical acne treatments. Through his research, he sourced numerous clinical studies from across the globe where researchers we reporting impressive results in treating acne using plant extracts from natural, renewable sources, but these ingredients were not being used in most commercial topical acne products. So, Mark did what most enterprising entrepreneurs do …

He decided to create his own line of products using all natural ingredients that were proven effective and dovetailed with his philosophy of all natural, renewable, cruelty-free and gentle to the skin, yet effective.
