Monastery

Monastery is a luxury, California-based skincare brand dedicated to supporting the skin’s natural processes through expert-crafted formulations. Produced entirely in-house at its California headquarters, Monastery emphasizes a hands-on approach to development, ensuring quality, consistency, and ingredient sourcing integrity, working in harmony with the skin. The brand’s philosophy is to craft products that respect the skin’s natural balance while offering an exquisite sensorial experience—focused on products people will truly love using.

Founded by Master Esthetician Athena Hewett, Monastery draws from over two decades of hands-on professional client experience and a lifelong connection to botanical traditions influenced by her Greek heritage. Inspired by early experiences gathering herbs and creating remedies, the brand reflects a deep commitment to craftsmanship, ingredient sourcing, and small-batch production. As a 100% independently woman-owned company, Monastery maintains a close connection to its process, with each product personally developed and tested by the founder and her team.
