About us

It all began in 2020, when the world paused.

As the pandemic unfolded and his clinic temporarily closed, Mark Bou Mechrek—an expert physical therapist with certifications in essential oils and skincare—found himself in stillness. But in that stillness, something beautiful began to bloom. Inspired by his growing concern over the harsh effects of chemical-laden skincare that his wife Salam was constantly using, and driven by his own belief in the healing power of nature, Mark began crafting formulas—high end, plant-based, and deeply intentional.

Formulated first for her, every blend was created with care: clean, science-backed, and rooted in wellness. What started as a personal ritual quickly turned into a shared passion. The results were undeniable—and Salam, captivated by the glow and the purpose behind it, knew it was time to build something bigger.

 

By 2022, LYS Naturals was born.

 

LYS stands for Love Your Skin. But it also draws from the Lys flower, a symbol of purity, clarity, and luminous beauty. More than a name, it’s a philosophy: that skincare should feel high-end, perform powerfully, and protect your skin—now and always.

 

Today, Mark leads as Co-Founder and Managing Director, heading product development, manufacturing, strategy and partnerships. Salam, Co-founder and Head of Marketing, brings the brand to life—guiding its creative, marketing, digital, and strategic vision.

Together, they’ve built more than a skincare line.

They’ve built a legacy of modern, clean natural skincare— made for everyone.
