A decade ago, Janet Schriever began mixing ingredients together in her kitchen to make her own skincare products from scratch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, the self-taught cosmetic chemist makes her organic concoctions in a Cerritos lab<\/a> and ships products nationwide. Locally, she sold them at her Code of Harmony<\/a> storefront on Fourth Street.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Last weekend, she moved Code of Harmony<\/a> from Retro Row to Belmont Shore. After four years on Fourth Street, Schriever said she decided to close the space and move to Second Street to focus on offering more spa-like skincare treatments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI love making the products, but the facials are a really good way for us to get people on board and show people what it is to take care of their skin and how healthy skin looks,\u201d Schriever said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When she began 10 years ago, her initial goal was to develop a product to help manage her lifelong skincare struggle: rosacea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The long-term inflammatory condition causes reddened and dry skin. Its most prominent triggers are stress and sun damage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n

Long Beach is home to a vibrant community of people who celebrate culture through art. Their stories deserve a platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/givebutter-widget>\n\n\n\n

Prior to her journey into the skincare world, Schriever spent seven years as a costume designer in the film industry and 12 years in the toy industry after attending the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While she found success in both ventures, including launching two dolls that were licensed and sold in major retailers, the stress of her professional life and being a single mother took a toll on her skin, she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, she and her team of three other licensed estheticians focus on educating others about the importance of skincare and avoiding commonly prescribed products with harmful ingredients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
