The Evolution of ESOSKIN®

Following a spiritual awakening in 2005–2006 at the age of nine, founder CA Marollano experienced multiple Dark Nights of the Soul that would shape her lifelong search for meaning, purpose, and transformation.

From a young age, she was drawn to spirituality, esotericism, mythology, ancient civilizations, symbolism, and subjects often considered unconventional or taboo. This curiosity fueled a deep desire to understand the hidden aspects of human nature, consciousness, healing, and the mysteries of life itself.

Although deeply interested in manifestation, abundance, and personal development, she resisted the idea of healing, believing that change could be achieved through intention alone. This belief would later be challenged, ultimately becoming one of the key foundations behind Astro Northstar Collective™ and ESOSKIN™.

Astro Northstar Collective™ was founded by CA Marollano, with her best friend of over three decades, Alex, as co-founder and creative collaborator behind the brand’s visual identity, including its logo and early creative direction.

The catalyst behind Astro Northstar Collective™ was CA’s deeply transformative twin flame journey, which opened the path toward astrology, spiritual awakening, self-awareness, healing, and the search for divine purpose.

Inspired by the symbolism of the North Node in astrology, Astro Northstar Collective™ was created with a clear mission: to guide lost souls toward their destined path. Through astrology, education, self-awareness, and intuitive guidance, the community helped individuals understand their life lessons, reconnect with their purpose, and align with the path their soul was meant to follow.

This mission would later become one of the foundations of ESOSKIN®, carrying the same belief that transformation begins with self-awareness and becomes more powerful when integrated into everyday life.

BigBox ASNPH™ was launched as the merchandise extension of Astro Northstar Collective™ and originally served as a platform for founder CA Marollano to expand her abilities beyond astrology readings into business, branding, entrepreneurship, and product development.

During this period, the first versions of Cosmic Magic™ Lip Tint (CML™) were introduced, marking the beginning of the brand's journey into consumer products.

Although BigBox ASNPH™ was initially created to explore the intersection of astrology and business, Spirit ultimately had a greater purpose in mind.

What began as a single venture would eventually give rise to two distinct brands:

ESOSKIN®, dedicated to Divine Feminine innovation through skincare, wellness, healing, and conscious self-care.

Polaris' Secrets™, dedicated to bringing spiritual merchandise, ritual tools, sacred objects, and esoteric products from around the world to Filipino seekers.

On May 2, 2024, BigBox ASNPH™ officially evolved into Polaris' Secrets™, while the foundations laid during this chapter continued to shape the growth of ESOSKIN®.

On July 29, 2021, founder CA Marollano experienced a vivid dream she now refers to as the 'KA-RA' Dream.

What initially appeared to be an ordinary dream would later reveal itself as one of the most significant moments in the ESOSKIN® journey, planting the earliest seeds of the vision that would eventually become the brand.

ESOSKIN by Camille Antonette M.® was officially founded. The brand launched with the Phoenix Retinol Set™ as its flagship product, introducing an early vision of combining skincare with intentional self-care practices.

The original ESOSKIN® logo was first conceptualized through sketches created by an online friend whom founder CA Marollano had known through a shared fan community since 2009. The final brand identity and logo development were later refined with the support of her best friend and co-founder, Alex, helping establish the visual foundation of the brand during its earliest stages.

The company was officially renamed ESOSKIN Lab Co.™, marking a new chapter in the brand's evolution.

This relaunch followed a challenging period that included a public smear campaign and the strategic decision to transition away from its original reseller and distributor-based startup model. Rather than allowing these experiences to define the future of the company, ESOSKIN™ chose to rebuild, refocus, and establish stronger foundations for long-term growth.

This era also marked the launch of SUNEVOLV™, a product that would later become one of the brand's most recognized flagship innovations and serve as the catalyst for ESOSKIN™'s modern skincare direction.

A few months later, GLOW & DEFEND™ was introduced, bringing to life a concept that founder CA Marollano had originally received as a download in 2022. What began as an inspired idea would eventually become one of the brand's flagship innovations, embodying ESOSKIN™'s vision of combining skincare, intentional self-care, and conscious living into a single daily ritual.

Together, the launches of SUNEVOLV™ and Glow & Defend™ signaled the beginning of a renewed era for ESOSKIN®, laying the foundation for the skincare innovations that would follow.

BigBox ASNPH™ officially evolved into Polaris' Secrets™, introducing a renewed mission centered on sourcing spiritual merchandise, ritual tools, sacred objects, manifestation products, and esoteric lifestyle items from around the world for Filipino seekers.

This transition also introduced the first official co-branded product between ESOSKIN® and Polaris' Secrets™:

Polaris' Secrets™ Crystal Detox Soap™

The collaboration symbolized the growing distinction between the two brands while highlighting their shared roots. While ESOSKIN® continued focusing on skincare, wellness, and healing innovation, Polaris' Secrets™ expanded its mission of making global spiritual tools and sacred merchandise more accessible to the Philippine market.

In celebration of the first anniversary of SUNEVOLV™, Astro Northstar Collective™ and ESOSKIN® held their first major community event, marking a significant milestone in the company's history.

The event served as a symbolic reclamation of founder CA Marollano's innovations and intellectual property, including the complete return and consolidation of ownership over Cosmic Magic™ Lip Tint (CML™) and other flagship creations following the company's transition away from its former reseller and distributor business model.

The occasion also celebrated a newly formed business partnership and the beginning of a new era for the brand.

During this period, ESOSKIN® formally reclaimed and consolidated its flagship innovations, including HEBE 6™ and Cosmic Magic™ Lip Tint (CML™), while clearly defining the distinct roles of its two sister brands:

ESOSKIN®: Skincare Innovation, Wellness, Beauty, and Conscious Self-Care

Polaris' Secrets™: Spiritual Merchandise, Ritual Tools, Sacred Objects, and Esoteric Lifestyle Products sourced from around the world for Filipino seekers

ESOSKIN® was honored as Admired Beauty Brand of the Year at the ASEAN Excellence Achievers Awards 2024, recognizing the brand's innovative contribution to the beauty, wellness, and conscious living industries.

ESOSKIN® received the Innovation Distinction Award at the ASEAN Excellence Achievers Awards 2025, further affirming its commitment to pioneering new approaches to skincare, wellness, and transformative self-care experiences.

The recognition came during one of the most challenging chapters in the company's history. Following a period marked by public controversy, online attacks, misinformation, and reputational challenges on social media, ESOSKIN® faced what founder CA Marollano often describes as one of the brand's greatest "death and rebirth" moments.

Rather than allowing adversity to define its future, the company used this period as an opportunity to strengthen its foundations, refine its mission, and recommit itself to innovation, integrity, and service. The award became a symbol not only of innovation, but also of resilience, transformation, and the brand's ability to rise stronger through challenge.

The symbolic end of ESOSKIN Lab Co.™ took place, marking the intentional closing of an old chapter and the completion of a cycle that had defined the brand's journey since its inception.

Just as ESOSKIN® was originally inspired by the Kara Dream in 2021, founder CA Marollano received another powerful intuitive calling in November 2024 that she now refers to as the Rose Dream. The dream led her toward Egypt, a place deeply connected to the symbolism, mythology, and spiritual themes that had long influenced the brand's identity.

The following year brought one of the most challenging periods in the company's history, including a major reputational crisis fueled by public backlash, online attacks, misinformation, and what CA viewed as a coordinated effort to damage both her personal reputation and the image of the brand. At the same time, she released music internationally under her alter ego, Rose Ivy, including the track "Beyond Beauty," inspired by ESOSKIN®'s deeper story and philosophy.

By October 2025, it had become clear that ESOSKIN Lab Co.™ had fulfilled its purpose.

What followed was a symbolic death of the old brand identity, business model, and direction, making way for a new vision that would soon be reborn in Egypt.

During a pilgrimage in Luxor, Egypt, ESOSKIN® underwent its symbolic rebirth.

Inspired by years of study in neuroscience, consciousness, spirituality, energy healing, skincare innovation, and global healing traditions, the brand emerged with a renewed vision: to serve as a bridge between science and spirituality while making healing rituals more accessible through everyday self-care.

This rebirth marked the beginning of the modern ESOSKIN® philosophy and the continuation of its mission to integrate beauty, wellness, consciousness, and transformation into a single holistic experience.
