Berry Was Born: A Journey Through Ingredients and Traditions

Beauty secrets are nothing new: every culture has long had its own beauty rituals. From the precious argan oil used by Berber women, to the antioxidant-rich green tea of Japanese traditions, the purifying Indian turmeric, or the wellness rituals of Eastern hammams—each tradition holds a treasure trove of knowledge. Yet, finding reliable and tailored recipes remains a real challenge.

One day, my friend Quentin asked me for advice about his damaged hair. Passionate about natural ingredients, I shared a few recipes with him. Curious, he asked, "How do you know all this?" That’s when we realized there was no space where people could easily discover, share, and try cosmetic recipes.

And that’s how Berry was born: an app to bring together DIY cosmetic enthusiasts, celebrate ingredients from around the world, and empower everyone to create their own skincare with transparency and joy.
