About Us + Meet The Owners

About Us

Sugar + Spruce is a female-owned bath and body boutique handcrafting our products at our shop in Downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia since 2012. Founded by Master Esthetician, Crystal, and operated by Co-Owner, Morgan, this mother-daughter duo are passionate about helping our community have fun with their self care without having to compromise on quality skincare. All Sugar + Spruce products are handmade with the highest quality standards. No harmful ingredients, no BS. Never tested on animals - only team members & partners!

Everyone’s skin is unique so why shouldn’t their skincare be? Our range of esthetician approved products are formulated to be gentle on all skin types so everyone can get in on the fun! We utilize coconut derived foaming agents and phthalate-free fragrances throughout the store as well as a selection of all natural, essential oil derived products. We also offer a selection of completely unscented products for those who may be sensitive to fragrance. 

 

Crystal Wellman - Founder + Master Aesthetician + Traveler

Crystal Wellman is a trained Master Aesthetician so taking care of the skin is her greatest passion! Crystal formulates most of our products by hand selecting every ingredient used and carefully choosing those that are gentle and safe for the skin, for the environment and for your family.  

How did Sugar + Spruce come to fruition? "Morgan and I attended a soap making class in Northern Virginia, so I started making soaps and lotions for myself and my many skincare clients. The response was overwhelming and I saw an opportunity to provide Fredericksburg, and the region, with quality, healthy, carefully formulated personal care products."

Crystal's favorite weekend activities - "This year has been an exploration into food and culture for me. Traveling and learning about different cultures and their relationship to food has made me take a deeper look a how I shop and prepare foods. 

Favorite things to do - "Heirloom gardening is the best! I love to use fragrant organic flower blossoms to make tinctures and glycerites for personal products as well as all natural perfumes. I have several heirloom rose gardens on my hobby farm so naturally Spring is my favorite time of the year. Recently, I started collecting vintage perfume bottles and taking photography lessons."

Crystal is from Hawaii so it's only natural that she loves everything about nature and natural skincare.

Morgan’s favorite things to do when not working - "I'm constantly on the go, so when I have free time, I really like to relax. Most of the time you can find me hanging out with my boyfriend or cuddling with my kitty Sasha reading a good book or binging a new tv show!"

Morgan’s Hobbies - "I am very much ADHD so I am the kind of person who loves to try all sorts of things. Baking will always be a passion of mine as someone who has a raging sweet tooth. One of my favorite things to do right now is metalsmithing and crafting demi-fine jewelry utilizing pearls and gemstones. I love working with my hands to create something special and meaningful for someone. Checkout Belladonna and Co. to learn more!"
