Our Story
THE TULIP LOVE STORY
Did you know…The tulip is one of the only flowers that continues to grow after it’s cut!
Kim’s light tulip bulb moment was learning that tulips keep growing up to 2 inches or more even after they are cut! Married to a fourth generation Dutch tulip farmer, Kim quickly discovered that tulips are more than a pretty petal. Their blossoming love story inspired our clean, wildly effective products. After securing two Dutch government grants in research, we discovered the hydrating and rejuvenating benefits of the tulip. Kim’s mission was to create products which are good for you and better for the environment.
This desire, combined with her tulip bulb moment planted a seed that became Bloomeffects.
