About

Founder and creative director of Obibo Skincare, Dr. Michael R. Ortiz, is a PhD organic chemist with a background in medicinal chemistry. After years of working as a staff scientist at a biotechs and leading research hospitals, he made the decision to step away from pharmaceuticals and fully dedicate himself to a deeper passion of creating high-performance, holistic skincare that bridges science and nature. 

His approach to skincare is rooted in the belief that true wellness extends beyond the physical. As a lifelong student of health and wellness, he integrates knowledge from chemistry, plant-based formulations, and energetic balance to craft products that nourish not just the skin, but the mind and spirit. Daily meditation with God guides this journey, reinforcing commitment to harmony both within and in the formulations we create. 

"Obibo is more than a skincare line, it’s an extension of my love for self-expression and creation. Every formulation is thoughtfully developed with a balance of scientific precision and natural wisdom, ensuring that what touches your skin supports both beauty and well-being, as within so without.

Welcome to Obibo, where science aligns with spirit, and skincare becomes a ritual of self-care and transformation."
