The Story Behind Crème

Joyful portrait of Samantha celebrating body positivity and sensual wellness journey

The Woman Behind Crème

Samantha Powell founded Crème because she needed it herself. As a Vancouver entrepreneur experiencing perimenopause, she created products that honor women's changing bodies with sensuality and reverence.

The Man Behind the Vision

Rafael Skala is the co-founder of Crème. He brings a grounded masculine perspective shaped by curiosity, emotional awareness, and a commitment to intimacy as a practice. His work at Crème reflects a belief that people can stay connected through every season, not only through effort or performance, but through presence.

Why Touch Matters

Touch becomes connection here rather than expectation. We designed Crème as a grounding ritual to bridge the gap as identities shift. It is a tangible way to say I am with you and stay close through simple acts of presence.

A candid moment between Samantha and Rafael, representing the brand's focus on maintaining intimate relationships and connection through life's transitions.

A Personal Journey to Purpose

Samantha's path to creating Crème began with her own experience of feeling disconnected from her changing body. Like many women, she found herself searching for products that understood the unique needs of menopausal skin without making her feel clinical or broken. When that search came up empty, she knew she had to create the solution herself.

Why Crème Exists

Crème was built on the idea that transitions do not have to create distance. The Juicy Middle™ names this season where a woman’s shifting needs call for more intention and internal space. This is not a threat but an invitation for men to move from reacting to relating. We believe couples can navigate this chapter together by replacing performance with presence and leading with steadiness to honor the woman you love. This is where connection deepens.
