Octa Maxwell

Hi, I’m Octavia—the founder of Skin Deep Naturals, a wellness brand created from the heart and rooted in self-love, education, and community care. I started this journey because I noticed something powerful happening in my community: more and more people were asking how to make their own natural products, how to take better care of themselves, and how to feel good again—mentally, physically, and spiritually.Over the past five years, I’ve witnessed this growing need and felt deeply called to respond. What began as a personal journey soon became a purpose-filled business. Through Skin Deep Naturals, I teach others how to create their own body butters, scrubs, candles, and more—all while showing them that self-care is an act of empowerment, not luxury.One of my most loved services is our Facial Bar Experience, a curated, hands-on skincare workshop that combines education, self-care, and fun. Whether it’s a girls’ night, bridal party, corporate wellness day, or community event, our Facial Bar gives people of all ages a chance to learn about their skin, try natural products, and walk away glowing—inside and out. It’s a full experience that nurtures not just the skin, but the spirit too.I love teaching because it allows me to connect with people in the most authentic way. There’s a special joy in seeing someone light up when they realize, “Wow, I can do this too.” It’s healing, it’s powerful, and it’s often the start of something bigger for them—whether that’s a personal wellness journey or even starting their own brand.I’ve taught dozens of hands-on DIY classes, led self-care workshops in schools and nonprofit spaces, and worked with hundreds of individuals and families. My goal is always to create an atmosphere that’s welcoming, inspiring, and rooted in truth—because self-care should feel like coming home to yourself.Something most people don’t know? Creating your own skincare products can be incredibly therapeutic. In my classes and experiences, people aren’t just whipping shea butter—they’re shifting energy, breaking generational patterns, and learning to prioritize themselves again.Skin Deep Naturals has grown into more than just a product line. It’s a movement. We now offer white labeling, wholesale for boutiques and small businesses, and curated self-care workshops for organizations, youth programs, and retreats.This is more than a business—it’s a calling. And I’m honored to be walking in it, one butter, one scrub, one glowing face at a time.
