30+ Years of Compassionate Innovation in Clean Beauty
In 1987, Natalie Novak's journey to revolutionize the skincare industry began with a shocking incident. While working at a high-end skincare brand in Orange County, California, she witnessed a major earthquake. Hours after the quake, Natalie noticed something alarming: one of her products spilled from shattered bottles, dissolving the carpet and its padding. This disturbing discovery led her to a critical question: if the chemical toxins in these products could do this to fabric, what might they be doing to our skin?
Moved by a deep sense of responsibility and care, Natalie immersed herself in the world of skincare and wellness, embodying the essence of what we all know as the Caregiver. She became a certified aesthetician and a master organic gardener, dedicating herself to understanding the impact of toxins on the skin and seeking out and discovering natural, healthful alternatives. Her expertise in organic ingredients, soil nutrients, and professional insights as an aesthetician fueled her mission to create skincare that nurtures and protects. For Natalie, skincare became more than just a routine—it was an act of kindness toward the skin and our planet.
A Lifetime of Wisdom and Innovation
Ron Webb's path to skincare was as unexpected as it was groundbreaking. With a background in aerospace engineering at The Boeing Company, Ron's career was rooted in the cutting-edge technology of the skies. Yet, true to the Sage, his innovative spirit and thirst for knowledge were not confined to aerospace. His skincare journey began with a deep interest in plant-drug research and a passion for holistic animal wound care—areas where he saw the potential for science to make a significant impact.
This unique blend of experiences and insights culminated in Ron's creation of KPS Essentials' proprietary DermaNū Technology®. This revolutionary technology is a testament to Ron's belief in the power of combining engineering precision with the wisdom of nature. DermaNū Technology® embodies his vision of integrating cutting-edge scientific advancements with the natural healing properties of plants, offering a skincare solution that is both innovative and deeply rooted in the understanding of how nature nurtures. Ron's work is driven by the conviction that true innovation in skincare must be as wise as it is practical, balancing advanced technology with a profound respect for the natural world.

Through their shared passion and relentless commitment to bettering the world of skincare, Natalie and Ron have touched the lives of many, often where traditional methods fell short. Their approach has brought relief and renewal to individuals struggling with challenging skin conditions, and their expertise has quietly garnered the trust and admiration of those who seek the very best in skincare.
However, perhaps most meaningful is their charitable work with the Hello Gorgeous foundation, where their dedication has made a profound difference in the lives of women undergoing chemotherapy. Through this partnership, KPS products have helped hundreds of women find comfort and a renewed sense of confidence during one of the most challenging times in their lives. For Natalie and Ron, the true reward lies in seeing these women smile when they look in the mirror—a reflection of their beauty and the strength and resilience that KPS aims to support.
