Dr. Maria "Sylma" Tweed, Founder
The Dr. Sylma story begins with love and concern for my kids and my young patients. As parents, we searched for skincare products safe enough to use on our kids’ delicate skin, and couldn’t find one we trusted. As a pediatrician, I knew my patients’ parents had similar worries about product safety and their children’s health. Childhood skin issues like eczema, rashes, and extra-dry sensitive skin, are so common these days. Many parents had real concerns about what to use on their children’s skin. I realized there was a real need for quality skincare for babies and children. So, I decided to make a better line of skincare products with certified organic ingredients that parents could trust. That’s when Dr. Sylma was born.
Well, my family and childhood friends know me by my middle name, Sylma. It’s not a common name in Latin America (I was born and raised in Puerto Rico), but my dad chose it for me, which makes it very special. When I moved to the United States, I was always called by my first name, Maria, which felt unfamiliar at first, but it stuck with me throughout my college years and professional life. So when it came to naming this new skincare company, I felt that reclaiming my childhood name was the most natural thing to do, and that’s how ‘Dr. Sylma’ was born…
At Dr. Sylma, we create healthy products for healthy families. Skincare should be safe, gentle enough for a newborn and worry-free. We know that being a parent isn’t always easy. That’s why we believe that health and wellness products should be transparent about their ingredients and make your life easier, not more difficult. Parents’ concerns should be heard and truly valued by companies. At Dr. Sylma, we strive to care for our customers in the same way our founder, Dr. Maria Sylma Tweed, cares for her patients. Finally, we believe that what you put on your body (and your kids’) matters just as much as the healthy, nourishing food you put inside.
We love our kids (and yours too!). As parents, we know it’s a challenge to find healthy and safe products for our kids. That’s why Dr. Sylma strives to make your life easier. We source only socially and environmentally responsible ingredients. Our products are proudly USA-made, packaged in recycled materials and 100% cruelty-free. To your little ones’ best health!
