Welcome to Dr. Berrettini's Mendocino Minerals
Dr. Berrettini's Mendocino Minerals, situated in the picturesque coastal region of Mendocino County, California, combines natural beauty with ethical principles. Founded by sisters Dr. Mia Berrettini and Heather Berrettini, this cruelty-free cosmetics line is known for its high-quality, responsibly sourced products.
Beginnings in Mendocino County: A Natural and Ethical Awakening
In the tranquil landscapes of Mendocino County, Mia and Heather's journey in the world of cosmetics began. Influenced by their grandmother, Julia Celeri, they developed a deep appreciation for the beauty and versatility of cosmetics. As they grew, their commitment to responsible practices, including embracing veganism, became integral to their personal lives and the ethos of their business.
Mia’s Path: From Cosmetics to Chemistry
Mia’s early interest in cosmetics set her on an unconventional path. While many find their calling in aesthetic or artistic aspects of makeup, Mia was drawn to the science behind the beauty. This unique fascination led her to pursue and attain a PhD in Organic Materials Chemistry. Her journey has been vital to the essence of Dr. Berrettini's Mendocino Minerals. Each product we offer is a direct result of Mia’s unique blend of scientific knowledge and passion for cosmetics, ensuring our line not only stands out for its uniqueness but also for its scientific foundation and excellence.
