About Susannah Compton

Susannah Compton is the founder and formulator behind Florescent, a line of 100% botanical perfumes she blends in small batches from organic and wild crafted aromatics. Plant-based skincare and cosmetics are a way of life for Susannah, who writes about clean beauty and the benefits of botanical ingredients for No More Dirty Looks, Thoughtfully Magazine and Integrity Botanicals. Florescent, however, is Susannah’s personal expression of healthy beauty. Susannah has been working with botanical aromatics for years, blending first for therapeutic purposes before delving into the art of perfumery. Having rarely experienced the depth and complexity of true botanicals in conventional perfume, she learned the art of blending and created what her heart desired — a scent that would move her the way perfume should. In search of those elevating, ethereal bouquets of scent, Susannah honed her skills behind the perfume bench. She launched Florescent in the spring of 2015 to share the lush experience and pleasing ritual of real perfume.

Laurel Honey Berry Enzyme Facial Mask

  Laurel Whole Plant Organics is all about raw, unrefined whole plant ingredients, and I adore this brand’s concept.

Tinted Lip Balms for Color and Conditioning

  One of my favorite things about green beauty is that products are inherently nourishing and healing, even if they are mainly formulated for another purpose, like makeup. The botanical oils and butters that replace ingredients in conventional products (think mineral oil and other petrochemicals, emulsifiers, texturizers and fillers) are just what we need to […]
