Sangre de Fruta Botanical was founded by Allison Audrey Weldon. Allison worked in fashion, trend forecasting and costume for film over the past decade, which brought her to Melbourne, Australia and London, UK. In 2011 Allison returned to her roots in Vancouver, finding solace in living on the edge of the ocean, growing her balcony garden and seemingly exponential number of house plants, all the while learning about holistic health and natural perfumery. After a few years of giving her signature creams away as gifts, the demand exceeded what she could produce as a hobby, and so Sangre de Fruta was born.
