How did Brown Rose Essentials get its start?
Brown Rose Essentials was conceived during 2020, when many of us in the world had time and energy to focus on bettering our minds, bodies, and souls. However, the journey to even conceiving the idea rested in my own health issues. Throughout college, I faced debilitating digestive issues. With very little answers from doctors (well, at least, very little answers that resonated with me), I began doing my own research and dived into a rabbit hole of information exposing the many harmful toxins, not only in our foods, but in personal care products that we use multiple times per day. If folks are anything like me, then they are a girly who loves their shower and personal care time. This information didn’t sit right with me, so I took upon myself to run with an idea that God gave me and began creating cleaner versions of the products I loved.
What inspired the name Brown Rose Essentials?
This makes me giggle a little, mainly because the name is a spin-off of my personal, decade-old, Instagram profile (@PrettyBrown_Roses). I’ve always been a floral print-loving, prissy, girl and woman and I love my pretty brown complexion! So, why not, right? Paired with what I knew, I wanted to create for people that looked like me, who may have also been seeking cleaner lifestyle practices. Which are the “essentials,” personal and skincare products that we literally cannot live without! Lastly, my first name is Brianna, making my nickname is Bree; Brown Rose Essentials written as an acronym is literally my nickname (B.R.E.)! So, it was a culmination of many things that felt aligned to me in that phase of my life.
What does holistic healing mean to you?
Holistic healing means taking an inventory of many areas of your life (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc.), and intentionally finding (or creating) methods to successfully address and overcome these insufficiencies, and to function as a healthier person. This can look like meeting with a therapist, using herbs in your diet and as medicine, finding a low-cost, low-stress hobby, or even carving out time to complete a thorough hygiene routine. For me, the very beginning of my holistic healing journey involved a lot of meditation, journaling, clean eating (mainly for my health concerns/body, but also for my mind), bi-weekly appointments with my therapist, and crafting skin and body care products. These practices, paired together with time, allows me to show up as my best self in the many different areas of my life.

What inspired the Turmeric & Vitamin C Facial Bar?
I have never really had problematic skin (as far as daily concerns), but I without a doubt will get dark marks from pimples and minor acne breakouts. I also felt as I got older, my skin became more prone to looking dull. As I was on this journey to living as clean as possible, I discovered the brightening power of Turmeric and anti-aging benefits of Vitamin C. I thought what better way to target this very common skin concern and to use them together. Paired with skin nourishing goat’s milk; I like to say God gave me this recipe.
