Berry Beautiful: Antioxidant-Packed Skincare Delights

Berries aren’t just breakfast material anymore. They’re skincare gold — and no one is juicing this trend better than Hale & Hush. Known for creating luxe formulations for sensitive and health-challenged skin, Hale & Hush is turning berry skincare products into serious skincare results. But behind the scenes of this antioxidant action is a visionary with a unique blend of brains, beauty, and business.


Meet Kris Campbell: The Skin Whisperer Behind the Brand

Let’s spill the berries on Kris Campbell, the brains, heart, and hustle behind Hale & Hush. A licensed esthetician, entrepreneur, and all-around skincare savant, Kris brings a rare combo of technical formulation know-how and empathetic client care to the professional skincare world.

With degrees in Supply Chain Management and Retail Merchandising, Kris made a bold and brilliant move into skincare in 2002. Her early career took shape inside an FDA laboratory, where she served as Special Projects Manager and Director of Sales — a backstage pass to ingredient efficacy, safety, and regulatory processes. It was there she spotted a major gap in the market: the need for advanced, gentle products for extremely sensitive and health-challenged skin.That realization led to the launch of a skincare brand focused on oncology cosmeceuticals. But Kris saw an even bigger opportunity — creating solutions not just for oncology clients, but for all sensitive and sensitized skin types. So in 2015, she bought out her partners and gave birth to Hale & Hush. Fast forward to today, and the brand is trusted in 5,000 spas, across all 50 states and in five countries, including elite destinations like the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.


Why Berries Matter: Kris’s Ingredient Innovation

What truly sets Kris apart as an industry thought leader? Her fearless innovation and boundary-pushing use of ingredients — like berries.

Berries are packed with antioxidants, hydration boosters, and skin-loving nutrients,” Kris says.
“They do more than just taste good—they elevate skincare results in a BIG way!

She’s not exaggerating. These superfruits are skincare Swiss Army knives — helping with everything from brightening and barrier repair to hydration, rejuvenation, and soothing inflammation. In Kris’s hands, they’re not just trendy add-ins — they’re evidence-based tools that estheticians can trust to deliver results, especially on the most delicate and reactive skin.

That’s why every Hale & Hush formula feels like a love letter to sensitive skin — crafted with clinical precision, yet bursting with botanical brilliance. And you can bet if it contains a berry, it’s part of a larger commitment to functional, innovative berry skincare products designed to support real skin health.
