What People Are Saying
“
“Loving the beauty butter, one of Jenna’s latest creations! I have very sensitive, dry, “mature” skin and am outside in the winter often, a great barrier layer for dry winter air. LOVE it as a night cream, a little goes a long way! Despite some oil sensitivities in the past, I’ve had NO reactions to this and am so happy with results after just a few week’s use. Jenna knows her stuff, love the RN experience combined with holistic measures!”
