Are you looking for a fun but effective present this year? Look no further than Jades Scents and More.
Jade Ann Delos Santos started her business in 2020 initially, and after an extended break, she’s slowly been building it back up.
During the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, Delos Santos was in a very dark place. With her starting school and not being able to go anywhere, she needed something to occupy her time.
“You know I was in my first semester after transferring to West Texas A&M, and COVID happened,” said Delos Santos. “In the midst of that I felt like Jades Scents and More was placed in my spirit.”
Delos Santos got this idea when she was constantly going to stores to buy soap and realized most major brands that are marked for sensitive skin all had harsh chemicals.
From there her mind started reeling with ideas on what she could do to stop people from poisoning their skin. So, she started an official Facebook group and a business was born.
“I did a little bit of research and started coming up with formulas,” said Delos Santos. “That’s when I decided my shop is strictly a plant based shop. Meaning the ingredients in my products are organic.”
Delos Santos started with soap and from there moved on to candles, wax melts and lip care products.
“I started with soap and when I officially launched it and sold it I had a pretty good buy out,” said Delos Santos. “My customers kept on telling me how these products were helping their skin.”
School started back a few months after her launch and unfortunately she had to stop her business.
After going to school and getting her Bachelors degree in Science and Psychology in December of 2024, Delos Santos decided to relaunch Jades Scents and More.
She didn’t have the job she wanted or a call to anything, so she decided to aggressively market her business on Facebook.
“I noticed it really took off because my original customers came back and then along the way I was able to gain more customers,” said Delos Santos. “I really felt like business took off from marketing so much and I feel really blessed. The Lord had my hand from the beginning.”
If you or someone you know needs a gift this holiday season or just to splurge on yourself, Delos Santos has a business Facebook page called “Jade’s Scents and More” where there is a link to her Etsy site, or you can message her on her personal Facebook page to order any products that you need.
