In a world where skincare routines are often layered with complexity, PomPom Oil offers something rare: simplicity, intention, and integrity.
The Power of Simplicity: Inside PomPom Oil
The story behind PomPom Oil didn’t begin with a formula, it began with people. Two families, longtime friends, who came together through shared curiosity as well as a deep appreciation for the natural world. What started as an exploration into the potential of a little-known fruit evolved into something far more intentional: a skincare product rooted in trust, tradition, and simplicity.
At the center of it all is founder Kelly Lapinsky, who brings over 27 years of experience in the beauty industry. Having spent decades behind the chair as a hairstylist, she developed an instinct for what truly works, not just for hair, but for skin. “I’ve always believed that what you put on your skin matters,” she says. “After years in the industry, I wanted something honest-something simple that actually works.” That philosophy became the foundation of PomPom Oil.
One Ingredient. Handled Properly. Made Right.
At its core, PomPom Oil is exactly what it claims to be: one ingredient, handled properly, and made right. That ingredient is Maclura pomifera, more commonly known as the Osage Orange, a resilient and historically significant tree native to North America. Long before its place in modern skincare, the Osage Orange was used by Indigenous communities for crafting strong, durable bows and later planted as natural fencing across the Midwest. Its strength and longevity made it valuable then and those same qualities are what make it uniquely powerful today.
PomPom Oil is cold-pressed from the fruit shortly after harvest in Iowa , preserving its naturally occurring properties and ensuring the highest level of quality. The result is a lightweight, deeply nourishing oil designed to support skin hydration over time—without fillers, additives, or unnecessary processing.
Designed for daily use, PomPom Oil functions as both a moisturizer and serum. It absorbs easily into the skin, delivering hydration without heaviness and supporting overall skin health with continued use. With approximately 90% of its benefits focused on hydration, it works over time to improve the look and feel of skin in a way that feels effortless.
One Oil, So Many Uses
Its versatility is part of its appeal. Suitable for face, body, and hair, it can be used to simplify even the most complex routines, replacing multiple products with one thoughtfully made oil. But beyond its performance, PomPom Oil represents something deeper. It challenges the idea that more is better, instead embracing a philosophy centered on sourcing, process, and intention. Every step—from harvest to formulation, is done with care, resulting in a product that feels as honest as it is effective.
From earth to skin, every step is intentional. No shortcuts. No filler. And, no noise. Just one ingredient, handled the way it should be.
