About us

Biochemist, holistic esthetician, and skincare expert of 35+ years, Violet Mkhitaryan is the mastermind behind our award-winning products & treatments. Her simplistic approach to beauty comes from her Armenian background, where Violet earned an advanced degree in biochemistry and quickly became the country’s leading educator in the field of aesthetics and beauty. Inspired by her childhood, where, as a young girl, she mixed her own skincare with natural, raw ingredients. She learned that pure ingredients from foods, oils, and herbs were effective in improving various skin concerns.

Fresh skincare has always appealed to us the same way fresh food does—it’s more nourishing (bioavailable) and result-driven. By making product freshness our mission at Violet, we can offer consumers two distinct benefits: higher efficacy of ingredients and sustainable formulas that deliver like no other.



our family & future 

After opening our first Violet Skin Boutique on Boston’s upscale Newbury Street in 2004, and multiple “Best of Boston” & Boston Globe reviews and awards later, our mission remains simple – Fresh result-driven personalized products and natural hands-on facials that deliver results.

Violet’s twin daughters Rousanna & Susanna (both RNs with Masters degrees) brings a modern approach to Violet Skin Boutique by designing and perfecting our new advanced collagen induction treatments that enhance your natural beauty.
