The Well Store was created by Mariana, who wanted to fulfill the need to source the purest, most natural and organic body products for her family that did not compromise their health. The journey to finding a way to a healthier lifestyle began in 2008, when Mariana's mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness and then shortly after so was her father. The hunt for healthy and natural alternatives led her to find out the distressing truth about the products she and her family were using. It was an eye opening experience, where Mariana found out about all the toxins and deadly chemicals that were in most of the food we eat and more distressing the everyday products we use, on the biggest organ of the body - the skin.
