Summary
In this episode of Skin Anarchy, actress and entrepreneur Kelly Kruger shares her evolution from Hollywood to clean beauty, revealing how her personal struggles with skincare and wellness led her to create Madison Charles Oils. With a career rooted in storytelling and a passion for mindful living, Kelly discusses how she transformed her love for natural solutions into a growing brand dedicated to fragrance-free, all-natural oils.
Kelly opens up about her battle with acne and skin sensitivities, a challenge she faced while constantly wearing heavy makeup on set. As she learned more about the impact of synthetic fragrances and endocrine disruptors, she made a shift towards cleaner, more intentional living. Her journey took a pivotal turn after reading It Starts with the Egg, inspiring her to eliminate harmful chemicals from her daily routine—including her beauty products. This newfound awareness, coupled with her deep love for her dogs Maddie and Charlie, ultimately led to the creation of Madison Charles Oils, named in their honor.
Her first encounter with essential oils came on a film set when a makeup artist introduced her to their healing properties. What started as a quick fix for exhaustion and stress soon became a deep fascination, leading Kelly to formulate her own blends designed to promote relaxation, mood enhancement, and skin health.
Despite initial skepticism from the industry, Kelly stayed true to her mission, becoming a trusted voice in clean beauty and wellness. Today, Madison Charles Oils continues to grow, offering high-quality, therapeutic blends that prioritize both purity and performance.
Listen to the full episode to hear Kelly’s inspiring journey, her take on breaking beauty industry norms, and why clean beauty is more than just a trend—it’s a lifestyle.
