Skincare forgot women over 45.
We didn’t.
You see the ads: 25 year old models, flawless skin, and promises to “erase time.”
But here’s the truth: skincare can’t turn back the clock. No cream erases wrinkles. No serum lifts your jawline.
And anyone who says otherwise is selling false hope.
What really happens after 45 is something the industry never talks about:
Skin gets drier. Thinner. More sensitive. What used to work in your 20s and 30s suddenly leaves you irritated or disappointed.
That’s why I created Velvette.
I was working as a chemical engineer, but I didn’t trust what I saw in beauty marketing. So I spent my evenings and weekends studying to become a certified cosmetic chemist — determined to find real answers. I tested over 200 natural ingredients to discover which ones could truly support mature, sensitive skin, and blended them into oils that actually work with your skin, not against it.
No gimmicks. No miracle claims. Just skincare that finally fits.

Our promise to you
Why We Created Velvette
One day, your skin just… changes.
Moisturizers stop working, serums start to sting, and makeup settles into lines that weren’t there before.
I was a chemical engineer obsessed with skincare, studying nights and weekends to become a certified cosmetic chemist — determined to create something gentle and effective.
We didn’t set out to build a brand. But when women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond tried our oils, the messages poured in:
“My skin feels like mine again.”
“I finally found something I can trust.”
“My daughter said I was glowing.”
That’s when we knew: this wasn’t just skincare.
Velvette is a lifeline for changing skin — bringing back comfort, softness, and glow.
What Real Customers Are Saying
Frequently asked questions
Will Velvette oils make my skin feel greasy?
Not at all. Each formula was carefully designed by our cosmetic chemist founder to absorb quickly, leaving skin soft and velvety — never heavy. Our customers often say, “My skin just drinks it in.”
Why oils instead of creams?
Oils deliver moisture differently than creams. While creams are mostly water (which evaporates quickly), oils act as a breathable layer that helps lock in hydration and support your skin barrier. A few drops go a long way, making oils a simple, effective way to keep mature skin nourished and comfortable.
Can I use the oils on their own?
Yes. Many women use our oils as their only moisturizer. If you enjoy layering skincare, simply apply water-based products first, then seal it all in with the oil.
If I only start with one, should it be Day or Night?
Why a Day Face Oil and a Night Face Oil?
Your skin’s needs change throughout the day.
- In the day, skin produces more oil and faces environmental stress. Golden Glow is lighter, with antioxidants and barrier support to keep skin resilient.
- At night, oil levels drop and skin shifts into repair mode. Lunar Renewal is richer, designed to replenish and restore while you sleep.
Used together, they give your skin around-the-clock care.
Should I still wear sunscreen?
Yes — always. Our oils support your skin barrier and defend against environmental stress, but they are not a replacement for sunscreen. Apply oil first, sunscreen second, and makeup (if you wear it) last.
Are the oils scented?
Our oils have a subtle, natural aroma from the plant oils and essential oils themselves. No heavy perfumes, no synthetic fragrance. Just a gentle, uplifting scent that fades softly after application.
Will the oils stain my clothes or bedding?
Most absorb quickly and leave no trace. The only exception is our Night Face Oil, which has a natural orange hue from sea buckthorn. To be safe, allow it to absorb before your head hits the pillow.
How long do the products last?
Our oils last 12 months after opening (24 months unopened). Vitamin E and the amber glass bottles helps keep them fresh for longer, but for best results, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
How does shipping work?
Yes. Most orders ship from Calgary, Alberta, Canada within 2–3 business days. You’ll receive tracking information once your order is on the way. For more information, please visit Shipping.
