Meet the Maker: The Heart Behind Salt & Shea

Hi, I’m Jayme, the maker, dreamer, and hands behind every Salt & Shea product. My skincare journey started long before Salt & Shea was even a thought—it’s been a lifelong passion. As a licensed esthetician, I used to run a treatment room, helping people navigate their skin concerns and find routines that truly worked. But my love for skincare didn’t just come from my profession; it’s deeply personal.

Growing up with sensitive skin, I could never tolerate those “smell good” mass-produced products that seemed to be everywhere. They’d leave me itchy, irritated, and frustrated. I wanted something better. Something gentle, nourishing, and, most importantly, clean. That’s what sparked my journey into creating my own products, and it’s been a labor of love ever since.

Living a natural, clean lifestyle has always been important to me, and that commitment shines through in every Salt & Shea product. I believe what we put on our skin matters, and I never cut corners when it comes to quality. Every bar of soap, every bottle of lotion, and every candle I make is carefully crafted by hand, using ingredients you can feel good about.

But Salt & Shea isn’t just about skincare, it’s about celebrating the little joys in life. As a busy mom of two young kids, I know how hard it can be to find time for yourself. That’s why I believe self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. Whether it’s a quiet moment with a beautifully scented candle or the simple comfort of using a soap that actually nourishes your skin, I want to bring those moments of joy and care into your daily routine.

Through it all, my faith and my family keep me grounded. They remind me of why I started this journey in the first place, to create something meaningful, to help others feel good in their own skin, and to celebrate the good in the world.

So, whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are just discovering Salt & Shea, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

With love and lather,
Jayme
