Raquel Roxanne Nowak is the founder of Matrescence, a botanical skincare line designed to support women through every stage of motherhood. As a prenatal wellness expert and mother, she created Matrescence to provide safe, effective skincare solutions that nurture both body and spirit during pregnancy and beyond.

Understanding the profound physical, emotional, and psychological changes that accompany motherhood, Matrescence is more than just skincare—it is a self-care ritual designed to help mothers feel confident, radiant, and empowered. The brand takes its name from the term coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael, which describes the transformative process of becoming a mother—from pre-conception through pregnancy to postpartum and beyond.

Matrescence embraces a holistic philosophy rooted in "mothering the mother," ensuring that self-care remains an essential part of the journey. With thoughtfully crafted formulations, the brand offers a luxurious way for mothers to care for themselves as they navigate the beautiful, yet complex, transition into motherhood.

Matrescence is dedicated to every mother—because when she thrives, so does her family.
