Our Story

Zen Rituals exists to bring healing, comfort, and confidence to those struggling with sensitive skin through pure, natural ingredients and love. Our mission is to craft gentle, effective skincare rooted in nature offering real relief and radiant skin for those who have tried everything else.

Made with Love, Made to Heal

My name is Sharon Birk. I am the owner and creator of Zen Rituals, and I am a mother. Zen Rituals was born out of love, created in the moments between rushing to hospitals and pharmacies with my daughter, who has struggled with eczema and allergies her entire life.

Since she was a baby, her skin has troubled her, it’s the type of trouble no child should have to go through, worry about, or be self-conscious about. And yet, year after after, doctor after doctor, her skin has never gotten better. I’ve watched her hide herself away, afraid to be playful as a child should because of her skin holding her back. 

 We’ve tried everything: doctors, specialists, homeopathy, steroid creams, pills, and nothing worked. In fact, it was almost as if her skin was getting worse; it became painful for her to move. It had gotten to the point where she was prescribed eight pills a day, and even still, that did not work.

Watching my beautiful daughter suffer her whole life with a painful skin condition has been heartbreaking—not just for me as her mother, but for our entire family. It’s a kind of pain that's difficult to put into words. 

When Nothing Else Worked, I Turned to Nature

One day, I decided enough was enough. I knew I had to step in and take matters into my own hands. So, I turned to nature. I started researching ingredients that could not only soothe but heal and nourish the skin gently and naturally. I found that the most powerful remedies were the simplest: herbs and plants that have been used for thousands of years by civilizations before us.

And suddenly, the answer was simple; I would create it. I would pour my heart and soul into a safe alternative for my daughter. Something full of nature’s best healing ingredients, that actually works, and is not full of chemicals. 

I got to work. Through trial and error, late nights, and early mornings, I tested formula after formula until I perfected it, and Salvation was born. 

Then something amazing happened: her skin got better. No more flare-ups, dry patches, or itching. No more harsh chemicals or pills. She began to flourish, confident and radiant, no longer held back by her skin.

Our whole family’s skin began to glow. With just a little of nature’s best, research, and love, these products have truly changed our lives and now they can help change yours, too.

We are more than our skin.

Zen Rituals is our story. It’s healing. It’s hope. 

And it works. I truly hope it works for you, too.
