Hello! My name is Jennifer Ralston

Growing up on a dairy farm, I developed a connection to nature from an early age. We loved our family, our community and worked hard every day with no vacations. When I was 10 years old, my younger sister suffered a traumatic brain injury and our family was never the same. We had to readjust our daily routines around this life altering event and I had to grow up quickly. Before you knew it, my brother got into an accident and experienced a similar injury that required around the clock care. My life was spiraling and I was in a fog for much of my life. I needed direction and purpose to be the wind in my sails when I was sinking fast.

I have always loved bath and body products and began to get curious about ingredients used in the products I enjoyed. This began my journey into natural and clean skincare. I started puttering about in my grandma’s kitchen where I made some of my most cherished memories with her. It was a crisp fall day when I made my first product- a fresh, seasonal and aromatic pumpkin and honey body scrub. I began creating more items and gifted them to friends and family who encouraged me to begin selling these works of passion.

I introduced my products at the Rockford City Market, a small vendor farmer’s market in Downtown Rockford, Illinois. I feel joy and fulfillment in shining light and love on everyone I interact with as well as providing education on skincare and the ingredients I use to bring out my customers beauty and confidence. At the market, I quickly developed regular customers– many of whom became my most loyal cheerleaders who spread the word about my product line.  More and more customers returned weekly to seek out new indulgences and purchase their favorite products until I discovered the demand required me to open up my own storefront where I welcome everyone to come in and leave with happiness and hope.

We continue to hear from our customers how much they enjoy using Bath + Body Fusion products.  The feedback from Dream Cream, however, has been profound.

Dream Cream started as an accident while experimenting with a new scrub formulation. The resulting buttery cream has now become our most successful product which has far exceeded my dreams and has become a saving grace to many who have used it. It is our hope to share those stories with others suffering from similar skin conditions.

We hope you’ll feel the love, joy, and hope that we pour into every single B+BF product in the store. 

Best Wishes,

Jennifer Ralston
