Gourmet Body Treats was founded by Waleska Agosto for a very important reason. She had very a very sensitive skin condition called rosacea
The daughter of an American Serviceman, she was raised partly in the tropical islands of the Caribbean and later in Germany. In her younger years she worked in gardens, and gained a great respect for the plants and wild life of the local islands. In her teens Waleska went to school in Germany. She gained a great appreciation for products that aren’t far removed from the simple pleasures of the “mom and pop shop”.
Later she would bring those lessons to America. Frustrated with the irritations, and complications she had with the chemical filled bath, body and skin care products that she found in the US; she started making these products for her self. She attended university in Central Texas and was frequently making products for friends and family. Eventually she started a small website, and in the coming years her husband and family would become trusted owner employees.
Today Gourmet Body Treats has grown quite a bit, but we’re still family owned, and we still make our products the old fashioned way. One small batch at a time to insure quality, using the highest quality ingredients money can buy, poured and packaged by hand.
