Frustrated that she couldn’t find a quality oil for her locs, Mary Gladden decided to create her own. Completely self-taught, she started with olive oil and peppermint oil, then later expanded after receiving a gift of shea butter from Mama Africa. In 2007, she sold her first homemade butter to her daughter’s teacher.

In the midst of one of the most painful points in her life, including becoming a single mother and having to take a break from school, she began reading motivational books to help push through and activate the healing process. During her timeout from college, she picked up the pace in her skincare business and decided to become a licensed esthetician.

Falling in love with skincare and the body’s amazing ability to heal itself, she also earned a degree in massage therapy. “God knew I was a massage therapist. He was preparing me all along. I was the one chasing the nursing dream to prove everyone wrong,” she said.
Following the sudden death of her daughter’s father in 2013, Mary began to gravitate towards a more holistic lifestyle in terms of mind, body, and spirit. Ensuring that wholeness component in her business became a personal goal. Getting her customers to look good and feel good on their journey to their highest selves is her life’s calling.
