Melaney Crees, the founder of a Savannah-based botanical skincare brand called Aureterra, will be visiting Ethos in Los Gatos ahead of the day we honor our mothers, and the mother figures in our lives.
Organizers say “Reset the Ritual: A Mother’s Day Experience” is an afternoon event that’s designed to feel less like shopping and more like pressing pause on your life.
“Guests can explore peptide skincare workshops led by Melaney, sample Aureterra’s botanical products, and spend the afternoon in a space built around intention and care,” a spokesperson said in a release. “Whether visitors are shopping for their own mothers, treating themselves, or simply curious about what goes into the products they use, the event is open to everyone.”
What to Expect:
Hands-on peptide skincare workshops with Aureterra founder Melaney Crees
Botanical product sampling and personalized skincare guidance
Gift-ready selections perfect for Mother’s Day
A relaxed, community-centered atmosphere
Crees’ approach to Aureterra resonated with sustainability-focused Ethos, founded by Meredith Keet, who says they’re both rooted in care for people and the planet—with thoughtfully sourced merchandise that’s made to last.
Ethos, it is a low-waste living shop and refillery with three locations: Capitola, Los Gatos and Los Altos.
They try to make “conscious consumerism” feel practical, offering refillable home and body products alongside a curated selection of goods from brands that share their values.
Ethos’ officials say its shops have already become a gathering place for shoppers who want to make more thoughtful everyday choices—but without sacrificing quality or style.
