About 310 Skin Company (previously 310 Soap Co):
Owners Stephanie and Charlie's professional lives as environmental scientists started on large-scale sites across the country, giving us a clear, fact-based view of how chemicals impact health. This work instilled in us a dedication to transparency and a powerful commitment to avoiding complexity—a refreshing alternative to both "clinical" and overly "trendy" skincare.
This clarity guided our shift toward a more intentional life. Our journey took us to a quiet refuge in the Appalachian Mountains, where we focused on core wellness and successfully addressing chronic skin issues like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It was here that our multi-purpose formulas were born.
We brought a scientist's discipline to that initial creation, centering on simplicity and practicality. Our mandate is clear: Every single product we create is multi-purpose, engineered to serve at least two essential functions for your skin and routine.
