Meet Kat. ❤️
Kat is my chemist and the woman behind Pure Artisan Labs in Albany, Oregon. She is also a HUGE part of what makes JF Ritual Beauty what it is.
I come to this woman with approximately 472 ideas at a time. 😂 I tell her what I want, how I want it to feel, how I want it to smell, what I want the experience to be… and then we work together to create it.
Kat knows formulation. She knows ingredients. She knows the science behind what we are making, and she uses INCREDIBLE ingredients. I trust her completely with something that has become incredibly important to me.
Could I buy products that are already made, put JF Ritual Beauty on the label and sell them? Absolutely.
But that’s not what I wanted.
I wanted to actually CREATE a brand.
I wanted to know who was making my products. I wanted to be involved. I wanted them made right here in Oregon. And I wanted to be able to stand behind what is inside every single bottle and jar with my name on it.
That’s what Oregon Made • Created With Intention means to me.
There are actual people behind this brand. There are conversations, ideas, samples, changes, excitement and a LOT of work happening before you ever see the finished product.
And Kat is a huge part of it. ❤️
So meet Kat, the chemist behind the ritual.
And Kat… sorry in advance for the other 900 product ideas currently living in my head. 😂😘
