Botanical Enzyme Peels
Reveal. Refine.
Glow from within.
The step between a facial and a clinical peel — enzyme peels deliver real, visible results using the power of botanical actives. No chemicals, no downtime, no compromise. Just fresh plant enzymes doing exactly what nature designed them to do.
🌿 Botnia Skincare — Fresh-blended botanical enzymes
🌸 Eminence Organics — Certified organic fruit enzymes
✦ What is an enzyme peel?
Enzyme peels use naturally occurring plant enzymes — papaya, pineapple, pumpkin, citrus — to gently dissolve dead skin cells without the irritation of chemical exfoliants. They're completely within basic esthetics scope, safe for most skin types including sensitive, and require zero downtime. Results are visible immediately — smoother texture, brighter tone, more even skin — and cumulative with regular treatments.
Botnia Skincare
The Express Enzyme Polish
Quick, bright, done.

Melissa Graham
Soon-to-Be Esthetician · Ogden, Utah · Expected Licensure May 15, 2026
Botanical. Intentional. A little wild.
Skincare that works with your skin — not against it. Rooted in plant-based ingredients, barrier health, and the science of how skin actually functions. Not fluffy, not clinical. Warm, direct, and real.

I believe results compound over time. That consistency beats intensity. That your skin should feel like yours again — not a project you're constantly fighting.

Thorn & Thistle was built to be the studio I always wanted to find — botanical, intentional, and a little wild. Because real skin care is all three.

Currently completing esthetics licensure through the Utah Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL). Expected licensure date: May 15, 2026. This site is for informational purposes only until licensure is confirmed.

My approach
"I don't believe in aggressive over-treatment. I believe in your barrier, the right ingredients, and letting your skin do what it already knows how to do."
— Melissa Graham · Licensure Pending Through Utah DOPL
When you come in
What to expect
at Thorn & Thistle.
1
A real conversation about your skin
Not a quick intake form. I'll talk with you about your goals, your history, what's working and what isn't. Your treatment is built around you — not a menu.
2
Treatments that are actually customized
Everything is adjusted to your skin on the day — not a script. If your skin needs something different than what I planned, I pivot.
3
You leave with a plan, not just a glow
Every appointment ends with home care guidance specific to your skin. What to use, what to skip, what to add next. The work continues after you leave.
