Unveiling the Power of Nature: My Journey with SEVO Skincare
On Natural Skincare, Herbal Medicine, and The Power of Self-Belief.
A little bit of a deviation from normal here, y’all! Today, I’m super excited to introduce you all to my friend Nick Smart, the founder of SEVO Skincare.
As his name might suggest, Nick is indeed brilliant. In fact, I already reviewed the V1 products from his brand’s first launch in this post.
Because I loved his product offerings so much, when I saw that he was launching some new packaging and formulations, I reached out immediately to see if he’d be interested in sharing more about natural skincare with us.
So, I’ll quit yapping and let you all have a chance to hear from the founder himself.

About the Founder
My journey to becoming the founder of a skincare company is unique: I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Geophysics.
As an undergraduate, I dedicated my summers to research, delving into complex topics and learning how to analyze scientific papers.
This experience taught me to think critically and collaborate with experts to expand my knowledge.
Over the past year, I have had the privilege of working with remarkable individuals in the skincare and naturopathy industries.
Through extensive research and collaboration, I have gained a substantial understanding of skincare science.
Through partnership with knowledgeable professionals, we’ve created exceptional products that reflect a deep commitment to quality and innovation.
SEVO was born out of my desire to find clean, effective alternatives to the chemical-laden products that dominate the market today.
Inspired by my sister's struggle with eczema and my own experiences with overly complex skincare routines, I set-out to create simple, effective, and holistic skincare solutions.
Our Philosophy: Nature Meets Innovation
At SEVO Skincare, we believe that the best remedies come from nature.
Our products are crafted using a combination of potent herbs, mushrooms, and other botanicals which have been celebrated throughout history for their therapeutic benefits.
We source our ingredients responsibly and ensure that our products are ethically manufactured in the United States, maintaining the highest standards of purity and quality.
Our Products: A Symphony of Natural Ingredients
Let me introduce you to our core products, each designed to offer specific skincare benefits using nature’s best ingredients:
1. Morning Serum
Key Ingredients: Cordyceps Mushroom, Vitamin C, Astragalus, Gotu Kola, Eyebright, Methylene Blue, and Phosphatidylcholine
Start your day with our Morning Serum, a revitalizing blend designed to give you a radiant glow.
Cordyceps Mushroom is known for its rejuvenating properties, helping to energize the skin and improve its texture.
Vitamin C acts as a potent antioxidant, brightening the complexion and protecting against environmental damage.
Astragalus and Gotu Kola are traditional herbs known for their anti-aging effects, supporting skin elasticity and reducing signs of aging.
Eyebright is included for its soothing properties, helping to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
Methylene Blue enhances the serum’s antioxidant properties, providing an additional layer of protection against free radicals.
Phosphatidylcholine ensures liposomal delivery of key ingredients, maximizing their absorption.
2. Evening Serum
Key Ingredients: GHK-Cu, Niacinamide, Tremella Mushroom, Reishi Mushroom, Chamomile, Magnesium Chloride, Blue Lotus, and Phosphatidylcholine
Our Evening Serum is formulated to repair and rejuvenate your skin overnight. GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.
Niacinamide helps to even skin tone, reduce redness, and diminish fine lines.
Tremella Mushroom, also known as Snow Mushroom, provides a natural source of hyaluronic acid.
Reishi Mushroom and Chamomile are calming agents, soothing the skin and reducing inflammation.
Magnesium Chloride supports the skin's barrier function, while Blue Lotus minimizes redness and boosts hydration.
Phosphatidylcholine facilitates the liposomal delivery of these key ingredients, ensuring maximum absorption and efficacy.
3. Face Balm
Key Ingredients: CoQ10, Vitamin K, Pregnenolone, Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, Rosehip Oil, and Quercetin
For those needing intense moisturization and nourishment, our Face Balm is a must-try.
It combines CoQ10, an antioxidant that energizes skin cells and helps reduce the visible signs of aging, with Vitamin K, which improves skin elasticity and reduces dark circles.
Pregnenolone supports skin regeneration and overall health.
Grass-Fed Beef Tallow is similar to the oils our skin naturally produces, making it an excellent moisturizer that supports the skin barrier.
Rosehip Oil is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, helping to hydrate and repair the skin.
Quercetin offers antioxidant protection and helps maintain the skin's structural integrity.
4. Radiance Serum
Key Ingredients: Squalene Oil, Phosphatidylserine, CoQ10, Vitamin K, Pregnenolone, Meadowfoam Oil, and Quercetin
Our Radiance Serum is perfect for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, offering lightweight moisture with Squalene Oil, which mimics the skin's natural oils to keep it soft and smooth.
Phosphatidylserine helps protect against the harmful effects of blue light exposure, a growing concern in our digital age.
This serum also features the powerful antioxidant benefits of CoQ10, Vitamin K, and Quercetin, which together help to brighten the complexion, reduce fine lines, and protect the skin from environmental stressors.
Meadowfoam Oil, a premium oil, is included for its exceptional moisturizing properties, which help to lock in moisture and provide a silky smooth feel without clogging pores.
Its high stability also ensures that the serum remains effective over time.
Realign with Your Natural Circadian Rhythm
Our Morning and Evening Serums are specifically formulated to meet your skin's needs at different times of the day, helping you achieve optimal skin health.
The Morning Serum revitalizes and protects your skin as you start your day, while the Evening Serum repairs and rejuvenates your skin as you rest.
This harmonious approach not only enhances the effectiveness of our products but also supports your overall well-being by aligning with your body's natural processes.
I've had the privilege of witnessing our customers experience remarkable transformations.

- Nick Smart, Founder of SEVO Skincare
So there you have it folks - a fun, cosmetic-chemistry-focused (cause that’s what we do ‘round here at Skincare Stacy!) dive into the curious, fascinating world of SEVO.
Of all the V1 Products, my favorite was probably the Morning Serum. The biggest surprise though?
I’m not typically the biggest fan of tallow-based products - largely because of the way they smell, but also because I’m acne prone and tallow tends to break me out.
Interestingly, because Nick introduced this fluffy, whipped cream-like texture to his tallow balm, I enjoyed it quite a bit more than your average tallow balm.
In conclusion, I recommend checking out Nick’s products from SEVO. Just don’t forget to let me know what you think!
Cheers,
can you use both SEVO and mirror skin?
