The Glowcery’s Roshanne Dorsett on Holistic Beauty, Skin Health, and Breaking Natural Skincare Myths
Bianca Foley
From “green beauty” buzzwords to brands promising plant-based miracles, the beauty industry is teeming with trends focused on natural, sustainable ingredients. But what does it really mean to care for your skin holistically? For Roshanne Dorsett, founder of The Glowcery, beauty is a blend of nature’s most potent ingredients, self-care, and environmental respect. In this piece, we dive into Roshanne Dorsett’s journey from law to sustainable skincare, her top beauty secrets, and why natural doesn’t mean compromising on results.
When Roshanne left a career as a Criminal and Human Rights Lawyer, she was searching for a sense of alignment—a way to care for herself and the world around her. This journey led her to launch The Glowcery, a sustainable skincare brand that’s all about harnessing natural ingredients for radiant, balanced skin. In Dorsett’s view, skincare isn’t just about products; it’s a lifestyle approach rooted in balance and connection to nature.
Reflecting on her transition, Roshanne says, “I wasn’t being true to myself, and that journey of self-discovery led me to holistic well-being and plant-based living.” This ethos permeates The Glowcery, where ingredients are minimally processed, cold-pressed, and designed to maintain maximum nutrients. “This low-intervention approach keeps all the therapeutic benefits intact, delivering maximum nutrients to your skin to help it look and feel healthy, balanced, and glowing,” she explains.
For Dorsett, healthy skin requires a holistic approach that looks beyond the surface. “The care of your skin is like an ecosystem,” she says. “It’s shaped by interconnected actions: eating healthy, moving your body, practicing positive self-talk, and of course, using nutritious skincare products.” She encourages her customers to view skincare as one piece of a larger wellness puzzle, rather than a standalone solution.
When it comes to transitioning to natural beauty, Roshanne suggests starting with simple swaps in skincare basics. “Some of the worst offenders in conventional skincare are serums, moisturizers, and cleansers because they tend to have high concentrations of synthetic silicones and petrochemicals,” she shares. These ingredients, she notes, are not only less effective than nature-based alternatives, but they also pose an environmental burden. Instead, she champions plant-based ingredients that benefit both the skin and the earth.
Despite common misconceptions, Roshanne’s vision for The Glowcery is to prove that natural skincare is more than a “fluffy” alternative. “One of the biggest misconceptions about natural skincare is that people with serious skin concerns can’t rely on naturals for real results,” she says. Through before-and-after transformations, transparency in formulations, and ongoing education, The Glowcery is setting a new standard.
With a brand that champions nature’s potency, Roshanne Dorsett is redefining beauty—one sustainably-sourced, nutrient-packed product at a time.
