Celebrating 30 Years with the 1989 Collection

In 1989 Jerry Pope and Brea Gratia set out to create a naturally effective, holistic product line based on the nourishment of marine algae, whole plant botanicals and essential oils.

At the time there were far fewer natural options on the market, and even less that could offer real results.

So, Source Vitál was born, with the goal to provide natural products of integrity for the skin, body, mind and spirit. By turning to the Earth’s source of healing elements, we hoped to help influence others to live a more healthy and peaceful life, and to pass it on to those they interact with in their daily lives.

These principles have guided us for 30 years now. They have helped us grow from a single eye cream, created in Jerry and Brea’s kitchen, into a healthy and vibrant family-run business, encouraged by the decades of friendship we’ve established with our many loyal customers.
