Flower Powered Products

   Flower Powered Products was established in 2022 as a family owned and operated small business in Los Angeles, California. We have been certified by the City as a Minority Owned Business Enterprise & Woman Owned Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE). Radio station KJLH listeners voted us “One of the Best Black Owned Businesses” during their Black Business Ballot in 2024. Recently, our CEO was named one of the Top 10 Entrepreneurs of Impact for 2025 – in recognition of our service to the community with our wellness subscription box deliveries to clients suffering from terminal illnesses and chronic pain.

Our mission is to provide family friendly ways to release the pain and stress of the day! 

Pandemics made our already stressed out lives even harder. You’re looking for an alcohol free, non addicting way to unwind right?   Friends and family may not support the lawful right to toke, or your professional aspirations may not coincide with the traditional weed lifestyle. Flower Powered Products, LLC believes in working daily to remove the stigma from the medicinal use of hemp. Our CBD product line aspires to impress even the avid non-smoker!

Its common knowledge that every part of the cannabis plant is sustainable – often manufacturers use butter in edibles that are made exclusively from shake, trim or leaves.  On the flip side, imagine a line of 100% handmade hemp products produced exclusively from the most potent part of the plant…

This is how Flower Powered Products was born!  Contrary to industry standard, every recipe in our entire product line originates from actual flower buds.  The process starts with locally harvested legal crops, which have been certified to meet all stringent federal guidelines. Then painstaking effort was taken to pair the inherent qualities of our exclusive strand of hemp with other known health foods to maximize wellness benefits,

Flower Powered Products premium hemp is infused into everyday cooking staples like extra virgin olive oil, premium butters and freshly squeezed juices for a deliciously seamless addition to any healthy lifestyle. Check back with us often, because we release seasonal products and promote collaborations with other local small businesses on a regular basis! #SHOPLOCAL

COMING SOON…. SUSTAINABILITY PLEDGE & SOCIAL EQUITY GOALS TO GIVE PRIORITY IN HIRING THE FORMERLY INCARCERATED

Eliot Beauty

Where Science, Innovation, and Compassion Come Together

At Eliot Beauty, skincare is more than a daily routine—it is a journey toward healthier skin, renewed confidence, and lasting self-care. Founded in the heart of Los Angeles by Ellie, an accomplished master aesthetician and permanent makeup artist, Eliot Beauty combines advanced skincare science with years of hands-on clinical experience to create products that deliver real, visible results.

Originally established as the Eliot Beauty Clinic, the practice became widely recognized for its specialized restorative and corrective treatments, including scar camouflage, non-surgical skin lifting, hyperpigmentation and dark spot correction, scalp micropigmentation, permanent makeup, and areola reconstruction for breast cancer survivors. Through years of working one-on-one with clients, Ellie recognized that many skin concerns required not only professional treatments but also effective home-care solutions. That realization became the foundation for Eliot Beauty’s innovative skincare collection.

Developed with Real Clients, Proven by Real Results

Unlike many skincare brands developed solely in laboratories, Eliot Beauty products are created through a collaborative process involving real clients with real skin concerns. Every formulation undergoes extensive testing by individuals experiencing the very conditions each product is designed to improve.

Client feedback, clinical observation, and continuous refinement are integral to every stage of product development. This unique approach allows Eliot Beauty to produce skincare solutions that perform consistently across diverse skin types, ages, and conditions while delivering visible improvements in skin health and appearance.

The result is a professional skincare line trusted by both skincare professionals and individuals seeking high-performance products they can rely on every day.

Advanced Scientific Innovation

Innovation is at the core of Eliot Beauty.

Each formulation incorporates proprietary technologies and carefully selected active ingredients designed to support the skin’s natural healing and renewal processes. Among Eliot Beauty’s exclusive innovations are:

  • PGFC-5™ (Penta Growth Factor Complex) — Designed to help support skin regeneration, improve elasticity, and promote a more youthful appearance.
  • DPC-10™ (Deca Peptide Complex) — A sophisticated peptide technology developed to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall vitality.
  • SYNERGY-8™ Technology — An advanced multi-ingredient system formulated to maximize ingredient performance while helping deliver optimal skincare results.

These technologies reflect Eliot Beauty’s commitment to combining scientific research with practical application to create products that exceed expectations.

 
A Complete Approach to Skin Wellness

Eliot Beauty believes healthy skin begins with understanding each individual’s unique needs. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, the brand emphasizes personalized skincare supported by education, professional guidance, and clinically inspired formulations.

Whether addressing signs of aging, uneven skin tone, dehydration, sensitivity, post-procedure recovery, or maintaining healthy skin, Eliot Beauty develops products that complement both professional treatments and everyday skincare routines.

Core Values

Real-World Performance

Every product is developed using extensive real-user testing, clinical expertise, and measurable performance. Eliot Beauty believes results should be visible, consistent, and backed by experience—not marketing alone.

Clean, Ethical Beauty

Eliot Beauty is committed to creating skincare that is as responsible as it is effective.

The product line is:

  • Vegan
  • Cruelty-Free
  • Free from unnecessary harsh additives
  • Professionally formulated for daily use

This commitment allows customers to enjoy advanced skincare while supporting ethical and environmentally conscious beauty practices.

Empowerment Through Beauty

Beauty has the power to restore confidence, inspire hope, and transform lives.

From helping breast cancer survivors regain confidence through areola reconstruction to assisting individuals in overcoming acne scars, pigmentation issues, or signs of aging, Eliot Beauty approaches every product with compassion and purpose.

Every formulation is designed with one goal in mind: helping people feel confident in their own skin.

Innovation Inspired by Experience

What distinguishes Eliot Beauty is the combination of clinical expertise, scientific innovation, and genuine compassion for every client. Years of hands-on treatment experience continue to shape the company’s research, product development, and commitment to excellence.

As skincare technology continues to evolve, Eliot Beauty remains dedicated to developing advanced solutions that empower individuals to look their best, feel their best, and embrace healthy, radiant skin with confidence.

Experience the Eliot Beauty Difference

Whether you are beginning your skincare journey or searching for advanced professional-grade solutions, Eliot Beauty offers products developed with integrity, innovation, and proven results.

Discover why more clients and skincare professionals trust Eliot Beauty for science-driven skincare that delivers visible transformation.
