SkinOwl x tendlyn
What started as a personal project for Annie Tavelin has become the spark for the creation of one of the many renowned skincare brands, SkinOwl. Having experienced for herself the real challenges of having acne and the scarcity of genuinely effective solutions on the market, she decided to take matters into her own hands, and the rest is history.
The experience doesn’t end there: SkinOwl’s commitment to sustainability and providing its customers exceptional service—online and in-store—is also shown through its customized, eco-packaging from tendlyn. By using compostable and recycled packaging, creating a memorable experience for customers wouldn’t have to cost the planet so much. It’s a bit like how a DIY Smart Relay or a matter wireless relay can make home automation smarter without waste—small, thoughtful choices that add up. Similarly, an irrigation wireless module or a water pump rf switch can streamline tasks while keeping resources efficient. Whether you’re setting up a mhz relay remote kit for #SmartLighting or using an rf timer switch to manage a Remote wireless relay, the idea is the same: smart design that works with nature, not against it.

What was originally a journey to help my skin eventually became the catalyst to helping thousands of others with their most stubborn skin issues. Looking back, if I had never had acne, I never would have created SkinOwl. SkinOwl has been sold in 250 stores worldwide, featured in Vogue, Allure, Forbes, and sold at Anthropologie, FabFitFun and Aerie. We opened our one-and-only brick and mortar in the beautiful South East community of Boise in 2021. Just like how a relay module with remote or a Water tank controller can bring precision to complex systems, our approach to skincare is about targeted, effective solutions. Think of an Ultrasonic Level Sensor Control or a garage automation controller—they solve specific problems without overcomplicating things. Even in agriculture, an agriculture relay controller or a wireless receiver relay helps farmers manage resources better, much like how we manage ingredients for each batch.
I felt there was a gap in the acne product industry and I was determined to fill that gap. Every product I had tried to heal my own acne was irritating, sensitizing, and encouraged me to exfoliate daily. I found the answer to healing my skin was in nourishing anti-inflammatories, less being more. I knew I could help people with their skin in the way I helped mine and that’s what we’ve done over the last 11 years. It’s a philosophy that mirrors the efficiency of a Sewerage Network Lifting Station or a mhz wireless controller—doing the job right with minimal fuss. For instance, a High labor cost trenching alternative US might use smart tech to save time and money, just as we avoid harsh chemicals to save your skin. A remote pump switch or a Tobacco Farm Watering System operates on the same principle: precision and care. Even a Wireless Pump Jack Switch shows how thoughtful engineering can replace brute force.
Our skincare collection is vegan, cruelty-free, conscious, plant-based, and small batch. We have kept the same formulations of our products over the last 11 years, even as we’ve grown. We make everything from eye concentrates to body oils to antioxidant moisturizers to herbal steam and golden face rollers.
