L’ART DE DOKTÉ FEUILLE
Within the heart of Haiti's lush wilderness, the transformative power of plants takes center stage, and alongside them, the Doktè Feuilles. Also known as leaf doctors, these herbal experts have always possessed an innate understanding of the healing properties of these native plants and herbs.
While FURCY Botanik is based in the US, we proudly draw inspiration from Haiti and the healing properties of its indigenous plants. Our creativity is sparked by the charming mountain town of Furcy, where these exceptional ingredients are known to make us well inside and out and are still sourced by these local healers.
OUR FOUNDERS
When two children of Haiti — 30-something creative Nathania Dominique and 70-something scientist and beauty insider Harvey Gedeon — first met in 2019, they immediately saw the potential to build something remarkable together. Even as both of them had gone to school and traveled abroad, they both understood the healing power of the indigenous plants of their land — and the key role they could play in formulating unique and highly effective skincare solutions.
NATHANIA DOMINIQUE
Creative and Product Development
Visionary co-founder Nathania Dominique is the heart and soul of FURCY Botanik, bringing with her a deep passion for plant extracts and essential oils and a wealth of expertise in crafting highly sought-after skincare products. Her creative, entrepreneurial journey started with a unique wellness cafe, where patrons can also indulge in Nathania’s line of natural skincare products. Nathania is the driving force behind FURCY Botanik’s community-focused efforts, launching a charitable program benefiting the children of Furcy.
"We wanted to combine the indigenous knowledge with cutting-edge science to acheive superior skin care products. Our tests results and testimonials show that we have acheived our goal."
