• A collaboration of beauty solutions led by mother Lynn Jenkins & her two daughters Sydni and Soni.

Founding Principle: We could share countless stories about buying makeup only to find it’s not the right color, or the formulation just doesn’t quite blend well with our skin.

It’s incredibly frustrating and left us wondering, “Isn’t there a company somewhere that makes foundation and concealer that’s perfect for us?”

Founder(s): Sabrina Jones

Growing up with eczema, Sabrina Jones experienced the adverse effects of synthetic lotions and medicated treatments. Her struggle continued into adulthood. She suffered headaches, dry skin, allergies, and anxiety from a high-stress career in child protection.

When she became pregnant, she knew she needed to take control of her health and find a better way to deal with the stress and take care of her skin.

She researched essential oils and started combining them with other natural ingredients, such as shea butter and carrier oils. Her mental and physical health improved significantly, and she had a healthy pregnancy.

​

Her experience sparked a passion for helping others with similar health issues. In 2015 she founded SJC Body Love – her own line of hand-crafted skincare made with clean, simple ingredients and a lot of TLC.

Founding Principle: Never compromise on what you love
