From Indie’s Desk: A Season of Renewal

Sixteen years ago, I woke up from my first brain surgery on Earth Day—a day meant to honor our planet—but for me, it became a deeply personal reminder of the fragility and beauty of life itself. I remember that moment vividly. Everything felt different. I knew I had been given a second chance, and I wasn't going to waste it. That awakening set me on a path that would change everything, leading to the creation of Indie Lee—a brand built on the belief that what we put on our skin should be as safe, nourishing, and life-affirming as what we put in our bodies.

Now, all these years later, I find myself in another moment of profound transition. My family and I are about to step into a new chapter—moving into our dream home and farm, a place that represents not just a fresh start but a return to something deeper: simplicity, connection, and intention. There's something incredibly symbolic about planting new roots—both in the earth and in our lives—and I'm embracing this season with the same gratitude and wonder that I felt all those years ago when I first opened my eyes after surgery.

For me, skincare has never been just about products. It's always been about a greater mission, about protecting what sustains us, whether that's our bodies, our minds, or the planet we call home. Just as we nurture the land with care and patience, our skin, our well-being, and our choices deserve the same level of intention. That's why Indie Lee has always stood for more than just clean beauty. It's about conscious living, sustainability, and making decisions that align with our values.

As we celebrate Earth Day and Month, I invite you to take a moment to reflect on your own season of renewal. What are you ready to let go of? What seeds—literal or metaphorical—are you planting for the future? It doesn't have to be a big shift; Sometimes, renewal looks like stepping outside and feeling the sun on your face, choosing ingredients that nourish your body and the planet, or simply slowing down to appreciate the beauty around you. This new chapter is a reminder that growth is always possible, that we are always evolving, and that renewal is within reach whenever we choose it. I can't wait to share this journey with you—of rediscovering what matters most, of building a life rooted in wellness, sustainability, and purpose.

With gratitude

XO, Indie
