The Mountain Gurl Story
HOW IT STARTED
About Sam
CEO & FOUNDER
As a former Spa Director at The Hotel Del Coronado, Licensed Clinical Aesthetician, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Certified Yoga Teacher with over 20 years of experience, I am delighted to bring you Mountain Gurl.
After searching fruitlessly for non-toxic products for my clients and myself to treat various skincare conditions, I was inspired to create my own line. I simply couldn’t find anything on the market that was lab-tested, plant-based, and truly good for both your skin and the planet.
Thus, Mountain Gurl was born. I am thrilled to share these hand-crafted, small-batch products—thoughtfully made for your glow and good for the Planet.
A Passion For Skincare
ANTI AGING SKINCARE
Drawing from two decades in top-tier luxury spas—from coastal Four-Star retreats in Miami and the historic Hotel Del Coronado to her leadership as Medical Spa Director at South Shore Skin Center in Boston—Sam Grout set out to redefine high-performance skincare. Inspired by a commitment to purity and efficacy, she founded Mountain Gurl to fuse the wisdom of Eastern Ayurvedic traditions with modern Western clinical science.
Designed for high-end boutiques and discerning clients, Mountain Gurl offers elevated, plant-based formulations alongside an expandable clinical collection. This dual approach allows for bespoke, customized skincare routines that target specific anti-aging and skin health needs. As the brand evolves into a comprehensive luxury wellness lifestyle line, every small-batch creation remains grounded in uncompromising quality, safety, and natural beauty.
Today, Sam formulates and crafts Mountain Gurl from her mountain sanctuary in Arlington, Vermont, where she lives alongside her two toy poodles, Bear and Bella.
