Hey, I’m Mary Ellen—Here to Help You Love Your Skin Again

If you’ve ever stood in the skincare aisle, overwhelmed and thinking, “Why is everything either too harsh or too heavy?”—I get it. I’ve been there, too.  


As someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin and a background in formulation science, I got tired of choosing between products that either didn’t work, caused breakouts, or were packed with mystery ingredients. That’s why I created iamgreenminded—a skincare line designed to be different: simple, effective, and honest.

That’s right—I didn’t just call a random lab and rebrand generic formulas. I’ve been personally formulating since 2005, driven by a passion for green, clean, toxin-free skincare and helping others see real results. My favorite things? My science beakers and my babies.

Each and every formula and product is made by us here in the USA.

When I’m not in the lab creating formulas, you’ll find me soaking up time with my family—that’s where my heart is.

 

 

We Believe You Deserve Better

Your skin should feel healthy, calm, and strong—not stressed out from products claiming to help.

That’s why I developed GC3 Bio-Tech (Green Chemistry 3 Bio-Technology). It’s our way of combining:

  • ✅ Green Chemistry – advanced, bio-active formulas that actually work (and won’t clog your pores)
  • ✅ Green Clean Ingredients – no water waste, no toxins, just plant-based ingredients your skin understands
  • ✅ Green Sustainability – every choice we make is better for the planet, not just your face


So, What Makes Us Different?

Let’s be real—skincare has been done a million times. But not like this.
Most products are 70–90% water and packed with fillers that do nothing but sit on your skin. We take a different path. We cut the water where we can and replace it with powerful botanical extracts.

And the bad stuff? It’s gone.
No fragrance. No parabens. No silicones. No microplastics. No petroleum fillers. No forever chemicals. Just clean, non-comedogenic, cruelty-free formulas your skin will thank you for. 

We are also the first to offer a full line of fungal acne-safe skincare that’s completely toxin free and no algae ingredients to irritate; simply powered by natural, green ingredients that won't flare fungal acne. No compromises—just clean, effective formulas made for sensitive, reactive skin like yours. We clearly label every product so you know whats in it and if its fungal acne safe or not. No guess work. 

At the end of the day, this isn’t about us—it’s about you finally feeling good in your skin. Skincare shouldn’t be a gamble. It should feel like a breath of fresh air—simple, effective, and honest.

If you’ve been searching for products that work with your skin, not against it—welcome.

You’re in the right place. Let’s get you glowing.
