An article written for a natural health & beauty retailer, Naturally Better You.
In 1959, a group of independent thinkers wanted to create something new and innovative; they were tired of seeing brands use harsh chemicals and unnecessary ingredients when they knew nature could provide something better. Taking inspiration from their Californian heritage, they set out to discover simple, wholesome ingredients that were not only safer but proven to work in naturally effective ways.
And so the JĀSÖN® (which means "healer" in Greek) brand was born!
The team worked together to meticulously create body loving products, initially for family and friends but eventually branching out to provide fantastic products available to everyone. The developed a “Code of Honor” which is still followed to this day:
Select safe, gentle and effective ingredients
Rigorously test every formula to ensure safety and efficacy
Never test on animals
Constantly innovate and improve
As one generation has given way to the next, JĀSÖN® products have kept true to the founders, committed to discovering, developing and delivering even better ways to offer personal care solutions safer for us, our families and our planet.
