Our Story

Born
to Nourish

KLEOS+KLEA defines a twenty year quest for complete skin nourishment, the creation of four powerful products grounded in a deep connection to nature.

It shares the personal journey of our founder, Tammy Demos, a luminary with two decades of pioneering experience in skincare, known for challenging industry norms. In 1999, she helped revolutionize professional skincare with one of the purest product lines available, Cosmedix, and again in 2007, she co-created another innovative beauty brand, Osmosis Beauty. Yet, despite her innovations, she still grappled with her own skin challenges.


A different solution was imperative, requiring an entirely new approach to my own skincare choices.


Determined to find a solution for her premature aging, rosacea, and pigmentation, Tammy stepped away from traditional skincare. She embarked on a journey she'd long been preparing for—developing something entirely new. After decades of research and innovation, she discovered an alternative approach that not only transformed her own skin but also rejuvenated and healed the skin of countless others. This breakthrough became the foundation of the KLEOS+KLEA RITUALS, a skincare revolution designed to deeply nourish and restore from within.

The story of KLEOS+KLEA is a departure from the norm. It began with a simple curiosity: the desire to infuse clean formulas with essential nutrients, recognizing their superiority over traditional skincare products. 


At KLEOS+KLEA, our story is deeply personal and rooted in Tammy Demos’s unwavering love for nature. After years of battling her own persistent skin issues, Tammy reached a moment of profound reflection. Frustrated with conventional skincare that failed to deliver lasting results, she took a bold step back to reconnect with the earth. Nature became her sanctuary and laboratory, where she immersed herself in understanding the pure, unaltered botanicals that the skin truly craves. Through countless hours of research and hands-on experimentation, Tammy discovered that nature’s vitamins, lipids, and minerals held the key to healing, nourishing, and protecting the skin. Driven by her personal quest for authentic beauty, she meticulously crafted each formula to harness these potent ingredients in their most natural state. KLEOS+KLEA is the culmination of Tammy’s journey—a nutrient-rich skincare line that embodies her commitment to providing the skin with the essential nutrients it truly desires. Every product is a testament to her belief that true beauty and health stem from the earth’s purest gifts, offering transformative care that is as genuine and passionate as Tammy herself.
