Dr. Sarah Villafranco is the CEO and Founder of Osmia. After graduating from Georgetown University Medical School, she completed a four-year residency in Emergency Medicine at George Washington University before practicing as a board-certified Emergency Physician in Colorado. After a decade in the field, she became increasingly (and distressingly) aware of the tendency to overlook the root causes of health issues. After losing her her mother to pancreatic cancer, she was inspired to pursue a more holistic approach to healthcare, and wanted to find a path that resonated with her as both a physician and a mother of two daughters.

While she never anticipated a career in the beauty industry, her skincare journey began with a local soap making class that illuminated both the chemistry and artistry involved in crafting natural skincare products. Concerned by the myriad harmful ingredients commonly found in mainstream products, Dr. Villafranco devoted years to researching effective (and more beautiful) alternatives.

In 2012, she launched Osmia Skincare with a mission to help people find healthier, happier skin using superior ingredients, prioritizing the wellbeing of individuals and the environment. By blending her medical expertise with a strong commitment to transparency and safety, she has helped countless individuals discover transformative solutions for their skincare needs.
