A Home.Grown. Partnership with Local Entrepreneur Octavia Maxwell
Market 32 is proud to announce the launch of Skin Deep Naturals, a locally crafted skincare and wellness line now available in 10 stores across the Capital Region. Rooted in clean ingredients, natural solutions, and community empowerment, Skin Deep Naturals reflects everything we value in our Home.Grown. partnerships—local passion, local talent, and products made with purpose.
Founded by Octavia Maxwell, a dynamic entrepreneur, speaker, and community advocate, Skin Deep Naturals blends a decade of research with a mission to make luxury self-care accessible for everyone. What began as a personal journey to better understand natural beauty alternatives has expanded into a trusted line of skincare and haircare products, experiential wellness workshops, and private-label collaborations that support other small businesses.
Octavia’s work goes far beyond the products she creates. She is deeply committed to empowering women, families, and young people through education, hands-on learning, and confidence-building experiences. Her partnerships with schools, youth programs, and community organizations—including the YMCA Black & Latino Achievers Program—reflect her belief that self-care is more than a routine: it’s a foundation for leadership, wellness, and personal growth.
Today, Market 32 is thrilled to help bring Octavia’s vision to even more customers—right here at home. We’re honored to support a local maker who is not only creating exceptional natural products, but who is also uplifting our community and inspiring the next generation of innovators.

What are table grapes?
Table grapes are grapes that are specifically grown to be enjoyed fresh, as opposed to those grown for juice or wine. Today over 99% of the commercially grown table grapes in the U.S. come from California. With more than 80 varieties, they are in-season and in our stores from July through December. Table grapes can be red, green, or dark purple/black, and are different flavors, shapes and sizes. They are well-known kid favorites and offer all ages an easy way to enjoy more fruit.
