Jacara's Journey

JACARA was only a thought by Ramon, owner and co-creator OR better known as our mad scientist! He has been a practicing Acupuncturist/Herbalist and Massage Therapist for 17 years and always was intrigued by the idea of starting a company that focused on some type of health benefits. About three and a half years ago a patient came into Ramon’s office with a terrible skin condition. Ramon had really just begun to learn about Shea Butter and its benefits. He decided it would be great for this particular patient.

It was then that he called his daughter, Jasmine, Certified Aromatherapist, co-creator and owner.  Jasmine was currently in the thick of her studies, studying Essential Oil Therapy and Ramon was incredibly interested in the healing properties of the oils. The first time he asked for a recommendation was for the patient that had the skin condition. At that time, a blend of essential oils was made and Ramon added it to the Shea Butter.

Gaia’s Secret was born! The patient used it, loved it and recommended it. Patients began requesting this particular “balm”, and it was then that Ramon and Jasmine realized they had something great on their hands. After much experimentation and research, failed products and successful products Cathy, Health and Fitness Educator, and co-creator and owner was excitedly asked to join in their journey…..

Gaia’s Secret, our signature Shea Butter and JACARA was not a thought anymore, but a dream coming to fruition.

The rest is history!

Commitment to Our Earth

The JACARA Team has always had a strong commitment to our Earth and how much our current actions affect the future.  For many years on both a personal and professional level, each of us have been very passionate when it comes to the three R’s – Recycle – Reduce – Reuse, conserving water and avoiding the use of any product that may have a negative affect on our environment. In more recent years we have begun to purchase as many “green”  products as possible.

We work hard at only purchasing and using products that are Certified, Fair Trade, Natural and Organic.

Thus began the process of Creating Globally Aware Skin Care®. When we began creating the JACARA Therapeutic Skin Care® line we realized how much our new business could impact our EARTH in a very positive way. That is why JACARA is committed to creating products that not only enhance the well being of our customers, but the earth and those whom inhabit it and strictly depend upon it.

Our EARTH is what supplies us with the amazing ingredients that keep us happy and healthy. We believe in doing everything possible to ensure that our delicate system is being replenished and protected. That is why we…

  • Support sustainable farming

  • Avoid using any ingredients that are endangered or may endanger the environment

  • Support smaller business’s that are practicing sustainable growing, fair-trade/good-trade and keep the farmers/suppliers in mind in every way.

  • Fill our Products in Glass Jars and Recycled Tubes

  • Print our brochures, business cards and soap labels on recycled and or post consumer paper with soy ink.

  • Ship our products in recycled or recyclable shipping materials

  • Use  chemical free adhesives

  • It is our belief that each person deserves to be treated with respect and appreciation. The farmers and workers dedicating their lives to our EARTH must be paid accordingly and work in safe/healthy environments.
