Mother-daughter duo Diana Shneider and Alexandra Bella spent years trying to find the perfect products for their skin. The two began to lose hope in ever finding clean, non-toxic skincare products that would actually work. With a background in wellness and clean beauty, Diana began developing her own products for her and her daughter to use.

Almost immediately, their skin was transformed. Feeling hydrated, glowing, and restored, the mother-daughter duo knew they needed to share their discovery with the rest of the world. 

Founded on the belief that everyone should be able to have beautiful skin without compromise, Diana and Alexandra aim to bring the benefits of clean, effective, anti-inflammatory skincare products to all women and men. Bella Skin Beauty offers a curated skincare line that emphasizes effective products with luxurious textures, invigorating smells, and nutrient-rich formulations without the use of harmful ingredients.
