About Us

Welcome to The Unorthodox Gemz

Unorthodox Gemz was born from a deeply personal journey — one of healing, self-love, and rediscovery.

Founded by Keondra Kalpen-Collins, a mother, student, and woman who’s walked through the quiet battles of mental health, this brand is more than skincare — it’s a sanctuary. Self-care became her lifeline: a way to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with herself. Through warm baths, gentle rituals, and skin-loving ingredients, she found moments of peace in the chaos — and she knew she had to share that with others.

At Unorthodox Gemz, we believe self-care is sacred. Our handmade soaps, scrubs, masks, lotions, and calming essentials aren’t just products — they’re experiences. Designed with sensitive skin in mind, each item is crafted to be part of a ritual: a pause, a breath, a reminder that you deserve to feel good, inside and out.

Whether you're a busy mom, a student, or just someone in need of stillness, our products offer you peace of mind, confidence in your skin, and a moment to simply be.

We are a proud Black-owned, woman-owned, small business, rooted in the belief that healing is possible when you give yourself the care you truly deserve.

✨ At the end of the day, YOU MATTER. ✨
