SJC Body Love Growing up with eczema, Sabrina Jones experienced the adverse effects of synthetic lotions and medicated treatments. Her struggle continued into adulthood, when she suffered headaches, dry skin, allergies, and anxiety from a high-stress career in child protection. When she became pregnant, she knew she needed to take control of her health and find a better way to deal with the stress and take care of her skin. She researched essential oils and started combining them with other natural ingredients, such as shea butter and carrier oils. Her mental and physical health improved significantly, and she had a healthy pregnancy. Her experience sparked a passion for helping others with similar health issues. In 2015, she founded SJC Body Love – her own line of hand-crafted skincare made with clean, simple ingredients and a lot of TLC.
