When trying to navigate caring for their own
children’s ultra-sensitive skin, they discovered
it was difficult to find high-quality, effective,
natural choices. While working in pediatrics
and medical research, Pasaka decided to take
a scientific approach. She poured so much
trial and error into countless batches of salves
until she hit upon the recipe that worked so
well, not only for her own children, but for
friends and family as well.
When their youngest was born, the family
found themselves unexpectedly homeschool-
ing, and Pasaka left her training and a full-time
job to invest her efforts directly in the educa-
tion of their three children. As the kids blos-
somed, so did the budding business. By word
of mouth, the family’s natural skincare prod-
ucts gained a following enthusiastic enough to
push the venture to become a true company.
Pasaka’s brother, Justinas, came on board, and
with a lot of hard work Fabula Nebulae soon
turned into a full-time, family affair.
She tells us how the products are carefully
developed, “A background in science and
12
research commanded careful consideration
of ingredients, thorough exploration of their
qualities and, especially safety: meticulous
testing and tweaking of recipes before finally
sending them off to people we love with yet
another note saying, ‘would you like to try
this one as well?’ Sensitive skin and sensitive
noses in our home required that the formula-
tions be gentle, safe, mild, and as hypoaller-
genic as possible. For this reason, the base is
almost always Quiet the Storm.”
“Most all our products have a story: De-
sert Rain came about when Mom wished
forsomething lighter than Quiet the Storm for
her hands. Monsters Away was mixed up in
anexhausted effort to help our little boy make
it through midnight nightmares. The Muscle
and Joint Soother was made for Dad after a
day cutting fields on the steep slopes in West
Virginia made his back ache. Bumble Fairy
Sun Dust, a fun balm with a happy scent
and just a touch of glitter was mixed up for
a sweet friend’s little girl who broke her arm
and couldn’t go to school her very first day of
kindergarten.”
“Fabula Nebulae products are made with
much love, care, and precision. Everything
from mixing, pouring, labeling, and shipping,
to photography, web design, and communi-
cation, is done by our own hands. Our three
kiddos are taught at home, but they also learn
so much working alongside their family.”
Those lovingly family-made salves and solu-
tions can now help your own little ones, too.
Whether they have sensitive skin or not, you
may be surprised at the usefulness of the
Fabula Nebulae line of products.
