Our Story
MintPear is creating beautiful kind products, you feel wonderful about using. Knowing they aren’t doing any harm internally whilst doing wonders for your skin. The skin is our biggest organ and we are applying products on our skin daily, consuming these products. When we use harsh chemicals and we don’t realize what’s happening internally, that is where the problem lies, and it’s MintPear’s goal to educate and provide solutions at an affordable price. You do have a choice.
MintPear was founded by husband and wife, Feras and Rita Almusa. Rita is a Master Esthetician, Makeup Artist, and Microblading Artist. Her passion for beauty and skincare started at a very young age. Born into a household with three sisters. Her mother was a makeup artist as well. Rita suffered from severe acne during her young adolescent years, which ignited her passion and determination to study the skin and thoroughly analyze ingredients.
In 2015 Rita and her husband had their first son. At the time they were both working in the corporate world. Working 60+ hours/week for companies they were receiving no emotional fulfillment from. When their son was born, they were living in Seattle, away from family. Rita took the 6 weeks allotted by my maternity leave, and when that time had passed, she couldn’t accept sending their 6-week-old son to a daycare for 12-14hours/day.
It was then, Rita had a true moment of clarity, listening to her motherly intuition and a bigger voice inside of her saying: “You have a bigger purpose than what you are settling for”. Rita knew right then and there, she needed to go back to her passion, educating others and providing honest skincare solutions to those in need.
