ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Faye and Shea's journey began in South Central Virginia, where maker Bonnie grew up as one of seven siblings in a family of sharecroppers. Despite financial struggles, her mother and grandmother used natural resources to create home remedies, sparking a lifelong fascination with herbal healing.

In 2005, she embraced the benefits of shea butter and African black shea soap, blending her knowledge from cosmetology school with a love for natural products.

Faye and Shea's mission is to empower others to create affordable home remedies, offering family-friendly products that keep skin hydrated and healthy, ideal for treating conditions like eczema, dry skin and more!
