Hi, I’m Caitlin, founder of FATSKN.

I grew up in Montreal and moved to Calgary to swim competitively and attend the University of Calgary. After earning my BA in Political Science, I spent six years with SPEEDO Canada, four years as a flight attendant, and a stretch in oil and gas service companies. My résumé might look eclectic, but the thread running through all of it has always been health, performance, and what helps a body actually thrive.

It wasn’t until my husband and I decided to start a family in 2017 that everything clicked. I went into full research mode — natural fertility, digestion, fetal development, nutrients, supplements, and every rabbit hole that branched from those topics. A year earlier, I had worked with a hormone specialist to recover after ten years on the pill. That experience got me interested in food, hormone disruptors, and how the things we put in and on our bodies shape everything.

The first major shift happened back in 2015 when I tried keto and started reading ingredient labels. It blew my mind. Why did whipping cream and cottage cheese need carrageenan? Why did toothpaste have a chemistry set’s worth of additives? That simple habit — reading labels — showed me that the best things are usually the simplest: whole ingredients you can recognize and pronounce.

From there, I went through our home with a fine-toothed comb. All the harsh cleaning products? Gone. Dish and laundry detergents? Replaced. Anything with “fragrance,” “parfum,” or SLS? Out. Even makeup slowly fell away, not out of ideology, but because it didn’t feel necessary anymore.

This was 2017, before "clean" beauty had momentum. I hunted for Paleo and low-toxin options online, mostly from the U.S., and slowly rebuilt our home with products that aligned with what I was learning. But skincare remained the hardest category — and the most important one. Keto had taught me the foundational truth I still believe today: the best things come from whole ingredients.

That belief eventually led to FATSKN.

I’m not a scientist or a doctor .

But I am:
a critical thinker, a lifelong learner, open-minded, and a mother who cares deeply about what goes on and into her family’s bodies.

And FATSKN is simply the most honest expression of that.

xo, Caitlin
