These products are 100% vegan, natural, plant-based, chemical/toxin free, cruelty free, & made with passion! All my products are multi-use, unisex, safe to use on all age groups! It helps to treat popular skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, diaper rashes, stretch marks, dry scalp, and more!

Oasis Rain is a Cincinnati-based brand that was founded in 2020 by mother-of-four, Lolitha Perry, a licensed massage therapist, former educator, and expert in aromatherapy as well as sports medicine. Oasis Rain is the product-line extension of Perfect Touch Helps, a massage therapy service also founded by Lolitha in 2019. Lolitha opened Perfect Touch Helps to pursue her dream of healing the world through massage and educate the community about essential self-care and the medical benefits of massage and aromatherapy. Lolitha is committed to creating self care and cleaning products that won’t compromise your health and safety, after her firsthand experiences with the harmful chemicals in both. Oasis Rain products are created with all natural ingredients and essential oils. In 2019 Lolitha was chosen by Mortar of Cincinnati along with four other business owners to create Pause, an alternative wellness spot which opened February, 2020 amidst the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Oasis Rain products are sold in the brick and mortar location at Pause, as well as online. Both Perfect Touch Helps and Oasis Rain can be found on Instagram and Facebook under their company names, and products and services can be purchased online or in person at the Pause location.

Featured partners include Explore Ghana Tours, The Motherland Experience Travel Tours, and Zionland Creation. Four years ago, I turned 40 and declared to myself (and on my vision board) that I wanted to travel deeper. To me, travel deeper meant finally going to the Motherland, Mama Africa and connecting to the land of my ancestors. I am five generations removed from American slavery and a granddaughter of sharecroppers. But my story -our story- does not begin there. We invite you to join us and reflect, return, and be restored. We invite you to travel deeper with us.

We are a small family owned business run by two sisters. Multipurpose natural skin and hair care products. Our products are lightly scented and formulated for sensitive skin types. June 2014, I lost the only grandparent that was in my life. My granny was my heart and her death was devastating. PNBK2 was my prayer to God for many years. After experiencing the loss of my rock, God knew I needed something to keep my mind busy. So in 2016 PNBK2 was birthed. The brand I'm building has a much deeper meaning, that I hope to fully testify about it someday.

Taiann Eiland, founder and owner of PurpL & Prosper, has been passionately working and gaining knowledge of the skincare industry since she became a licensed esthetician in 2007. Over time, she has become extremely well-versed in ingredients and has fallen head over heels with the Green Beauty Industry. The development of the line was driven by her own insecurities that were brought on by complicated skin ailments. For over 10 years, she suffered with severe cystic acne that led to a terrible skin-picking habit called "dermatillomania." This brought on shame, and a huge lack of self-love. She would constantly switch up her regimen and purchase any gimmicky product that sounded convincing enough to try. However, she finally learned that for her skin, keeping it natural, intuitively eating and implementing daily self care was the best solution. Taiann truly believes in spreading the message of self-love and living a healthy, non-toxic lifestyle and how they determine the condition of your skin. She began developing her own line of natural skincare products that dramatically changed the quality of her complexion. Every item in the line is tangible reminder to give yourself love and care everyday. This line is developed with natural ingredients that Taiann fully believes in, as you will too by using PurpL & Prosper products.

Welcome Kings and Queens! I am Valerie King, the owner of Radiant Majesty Bodycare. I’ve always grown up with dry, sensitive skin and always struggled to find products that worked for my skin. Over the years I’ve been interested in using more natural, organic products. As a result, I started making my own body butters and scrubs and soon Radiant Majesty was born! Radiant Majesty Bodycare aims to provide your skin with a luxurious experience. All of our ingredients are sourced from vendors that provide 100% natural and organic butters and oils. We strive to provide a product that hydrates, softens and feeds the skin the nutrients that it needs to thrive and give you radiant skin.

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay in the loop of projects, events, and general going-ons. Redoux is built on change. Change that gives you space to learn, experience, and evolve. Redoux is the brainchild of Asia and Alejandro. Two friends with a common love for skincare and new experiences. Their passion for skincare led them to discover many products that permeated various shared memories, summer bee venom masks, the quintessential morning green tea cleanser, and the delicate but indispensable black orchid extract. Beyond skincare, however, there were also multiple tokens that became highlights of their friendship: the palo santo box from Asuncion, the Omija tea from Jeju, or even the nostalgic coffee scent from their breakfasts in college. Then one day it clicked. ‘We can bottle memories, through scent.’ Scent is a powerful catalyst. It can be infused to add a new dimension to make an unforgettable experience. It can be composed to create unique moments. And it can perpetually be harnessed to evoke emotions. Redoux is rethinking the power that scent has in our identities, our relationships, and our life experiences.
