SAN DIEGO — As part of Women’s History month, we are highlighting a local entrepreneur that's changing the face of bath and body essentials.
“I had no experience in the beauty industry whatsoever,” says Velasquez. “I use to be a professional musician.” “I was at my parent's house. My father gave me a six foot table and I started to mix soap,” says Velasquez. “Everything was born here in San Diego, even using the Nopales that were in my parent's yard.”“As someone who is of Mexican heritage, we grew up eating Nopales,” said the bath and body brand owner. “So I really feel like we took it for granted because it is literally everywhere.”
“The brand really took off right away because I think the community was ready for the brand that they could see themselves in. That made them feel proud and made them feel seen,” said Velasquez.
