Natural Skincare Products by Common Scents
Meet Common Scents Founder, Dr. Zoe Green
With a Doctorate in Pharmacy, a Bachelor of Philosophy, and certification in Special Education, Zoe has become a shape shifter in community health and wellness, particularly through her work with Common Scents. She emphasizes the importance of holistic health by illuminating a balance of healing methods among various paradigms.
Growing up in Hawaii has taught Zoe about the omnipresence of energy and our connection through vital means. While we are all influenced by external forces, Common Scents recognizes that true health begins from within—integrating mind, body, and spirit, alongside the use of natural skincare solutions.
Common Scents Beginnings
As a former athlete and model, Zoe struggled to maintain the strict balance between her inner and outer well-being. She loved being outside—playing sports, climbing trees, riding bikes, falling off bikes, and even playing soccer well into her twenties and thirties. However, collecting her fair share of scrapes, bruises, and broken bones made it challenging for Zoe to keep the near flawless complexion required for photo shoots (remember, this was back when photographers used film). There weren’t many products available that offered both preventative care and quick healing, and too many contained strong synthetic scents and additives that irritated Zoe's skin. Not wanting to compromise her outdoor adventures, Zoe seized this opportunity to blend her pharmacy background with her passion for nature, leading to the creation of Common Scents, a line focused on holistic health and natural skincare.

Giving Back
Amazingly enough, there's more to Zoe than her athletic capabilities, eclectic academic career, and modeling resume. She also has a fierce tenacity for being hands-on. Zoe gives back to the community in profound ways, such as raising funds for education, youth organizations, and community health. As a member of Ohana Medical Mission, a group of medical professionals who travel to disaster-prone areas to provide medical aid, she embodies the spirit of holistic health. After one of the most fatal typhoons in history hit the Philippines, she accompanied the group for a medical/surgical mission to assist with typhoon victims in remote areas that had been unvisited by other aid groups. Zoe is also passionate about promoting natural skincare through her work with Common Scents, which emphasizes the importance of using pure and natural ingredients.
