Dr. Milagros Hernandez.
Founder · medical doctor · breast-cancer survivor. Astoria, NY.
“After surviving breast cancer, I decided to take action against hormone-disrupting and cancer-causing toxins in my every-day products.”
Dr. Milagros Hernandez is a medical doctor based in Astoria, New York. Her passion for organic skincare began with a diagnosis: in 2010, as a young physician and a mother to a young child, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
During treatment she realized that roughly 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies — and that many everyday skincare products contain ingredients that are at best questionable and at worst carcinogenic. That was the pivotal moment.
She spent the years that followed researching every essential oil personally, testing organic botanicals, and studying hemp-derived CBD — a super-antioxidant that fights the aging process, encourages cell rejuvenation, and reduces inflammation.
The result is Doctor Milagros: a three-step routine of Scrub, Serum, and Cream, each infused with organic, USDA-certified CBD isolate from hemp. Packed with peptides, ceramides, and antioxidants. Hand-formulated and small-batch packed in Astoria.
Third-party potency tested by ProVerde Laboratories. Leaping-Bunny cruelty-free certified. Featured in Forbes, Bridal Guide, and Univision.
Her mission: to share what she’s learned with other women, and prevent the chemically-infused products known to cause cancer.
