About The Wildflower Skincare Laboratory
Welcome to our Lab were we carefully harvest some of the fifty-plus flower varieties we cultivate within our private botanical gardens in the Turks & Caicos Islands. These exquisite blooms journey directly from our gardens on Providenciales into our rare and exotic formulations. Every creation is 100% natural, organic, and impeccably kind to the planet. Our line is formulated through sustainable methods and tested solely on delighted humans, never on animals.
Since 2022, our formulations have rivalled the most distinguished names in natural skincare, winning eighteen international awards. In 2024, we were honored to be named among the Top Three Green Skincare Brands Worldwide at the prestigious London Global Green Beauty Awards, a distinction achieved from over 650+ global entries. Wildflower Skincare Lab has become a registered trademarked brand across the Turks & Caicos, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Union. What began as a boutique island indie has blossomed into a globally recognized brand, with our unparalleled creations now available around the world.
Have you discovered our Garden to Skin initiative? Established in 2022, this program was born from a vision to champion sustainability while empowering our local community. We collaborate directly with farmers, families, small enterprises, and leading resorts across the Turks & Caicos Islands. Our partners share our commitment to conscious living and a hands-on approach to ethical commercial manufacturing. Through Garden to Skin, we harvest organic botanicals cultivated by TCI residents, transforming their homegrown plants into exceptional skincare ingredients. Yes, you heard correctly, our program allows you to quite literally grow the very ingredients that are in your skincare.
Craving something nobody else owns? Sit down with our chemists and hand-pick every detail: velvety texture, sun-kissed scent, powerhouse actives. Have a backyard hibiscus you adore? We’ll happily visit, snip petals with white-glove care, and spin their essence into your personal elixir. We offer private label services for many of the island favorites as well as international brands you know and love. We are fond of sharing our secrets, remember we are an open-concept full-disclosure laboratory.
All our extracts are manufactured in-house then tested to rigorous EU standards for stability and purity. Passion fuels our pipettes, transparency guides our process, and nature lends the magic.
Meet Makayla, our brilliant Lab Director, whose white-coat credentials are backed by over 1,000 hours of advanced commercial formulation training under her belt. Makayla began her journey as a licensed esthetician, mastering the art of healthy, radiant skin long before she stepped behind a formulation bench. She has had a lifetime of passion for skincare and has managed to perfect the art of formulation. Today she guides our team with equal parts scientific rigor, creativity, and steady leadership, inspiring us to chase that extra percentage of purity and performance. Cross paths with her and you’ll understand why we feel so fortunate: when Makayla is in charge, every product, and every day, emerges brilliantly balanced.
As our founder, formulation scientist, and resident bloom whisperer Rosa Gargano is the kind of scientist who sees a wildflower on a morning walk and immediately wonders which antioxidant pathway it might unlock. That curiosity, and a lifelong love affair with petals, pods, and pretty much anything that photosynthesizes, sparked the brand you’re reading about. She founded the lab with a simple but mighty vision: educate, boost women’s confidence, and create uncompromisingly ethical, top-tier skincare. Since then, she’s been turning petals into prizes, 18 awards so far, all quietly stashed in a cabinet to keep her ego in check. Rosa has quietly formulated hero products for international brands you’ve definitely heard of, yet she’ll still squeal with delight when a beginner chemist nails their first stable emulsion in her training sessions. Inspiring? Absolutely. Intimidating? Only if you’re a free radical.
