Isabel Dumas

My name is Isabel Dumas and I am obsessed by creating ethically sourced skin protecting and restorative botanical cosmetics.

I am a qualified specialist in herbal medicine, in skin therapy and in the science of Organic Cosmetic Formulation. 

With my company ISA (Ibiza softens Age) I am the proud developer of the natural cosmetics line ‘Botanical Soulmates’ and besides of developing cosmetics in my lab in Ibiza I give workshops to like-minded people; passionate lovers of nature.

My motto is:Take a good look around you and be fascinated by the botanical life that surrounds you! Even in the busiest cities, mother nature knows how to work through the stone and concrete, just look at the photos of my cosmetic brand Botanical Soulmates that were taken in the old capital of Ibiza.

My heart is dedicated to developing healthy and nourishing skin rituals that relax and establish an inner connection with nature.

When I am not crafting or studying natural skin & mind uplifting cosmetics you can find me exploring nature, swimming in the sea, playing outdoor sports and spending time with my loved ones and animals.

How it started

I would like to share my story with you about the origin of my natural cosmetics company: Ibiza Softens Age (ISA).

Since the year 2000 I have lived very gratefully on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza. My mother, who was a model at the time, traveled a lot for her work, and took me to the island several months a year since I was a little baby. Each time when we returned home I immediately longed intensely for the scents of the sea and above all for the plants and trees that grow on Ibiza´s red fertile soil.

From an early age I was fascinated by Ibiza´s beauty and by the more than 250 species of medicinal plants that grow on the island.

The love for plants is in my genes. My grandmother had the most beautiful vegetable garden and my father used to tell us everything about the plants we encountered during our walks. His books on botany intrigued me already at an early age, but I started deepening my knowledge when I came to live here on Ibiza permanently; I was a skin specialist by profession at that time and I started my studies of plant medicine in the same year I settled down on the island.

On our 300-year-old ecological Ibicenca farm I started a family with three beautiful children. I worked for years in my own vegetable garden, sold my own ecological vegetables in our home shop, made bread and milked our goats twice a day to make yogurt and delicious cheeses from that milk. In short, I lived and experienced the Circle of Nature.

Farming was a lifestyle and a side job. For my real profession as a skin specialist soon I started creating skin care products. I obtained beautiful extracts from special plants from our own land and other parts of the island with sublime active properties, but I soon noticed that my plant knowledge alone was not enough to make high-quality and stable natural cosmetics so...I started a life changing study about the science of organic cosmetic formulation. After getting my degree I passionately founded my natural cosmetics company ‘ISA - Ibiza Softens Age’ with the brand ‘Botanical Soulmates’.

Remember, the first way to a healthy happy skin is through your lifestyle!

This consciousness, together with the cosmetic botanicals I collect for you, will ensure happy and healthy skin for all of us.


Un abrazo, ISA
