brand story
Nature — in a bottle.
Leland Francis: makeup artist founded, clean, nutrient-dense skincare and plant-based fragrance. True luxury always derives from the earth.
Leland Francis was established with a singular goal in mind: to create clean, gender-inclusive skincare that delivers unparalleled quality, multi-beneficial performance, and universal efficacy for all skin. Inspired by our founder Dillon Peña’s beauty expertise as an editorial and celebrity makeup artist, our skincare is derived from his belief that naturally radiant, nourished skin is the best foundation.
We ethically source vegan ingredients from the dynamic intelligence of nature, without any toxins or fillers, ever. Our commitment and dedication to botanical craftsmanship is sensorially experienced with every application of our potent concentrations. Our small collection of meticulously formulated plant actives transport powerful antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids to the skin. We prioritize our environmental responsibility by minimizing waste and footprint with recyclable packaging materials such as glass, paper, and aluminum.
Our mission? To create a clean and sustainable skincare and fragrance concept designed for versatility — by embracing the art of skin-minimalism. Gorgeous, glowing skin has never been easier, naturally. Discover your radiance with Leland Francis, with or without makeup.
Who is Leland Francis?
Peña’s great-grandfather, who built the rural Oklahoma farmhouse he grew up in. A mythical figure of sorts, Leland’s integrity, patience, and hard-work was always present within the bones of the beloved family property. His legacy in Dillon’s life? A deeply profound appreciation of slow-living. And an inner-knowing that nothing is more luxurious than pure, natural ingredients.
