Greetings From The Creators

 

 

 

B. Animwaa Osafo, CEO & Founder

As a child, I wondered why my African American friends and I did not have long hair like my friends from other ethnicities. Along with my younger cousin, a dear friend of mine that I met in junior high school also inspired me to research ingredients that help to grow hair, as she had the most beautiful head of hair; and she still does. As an adolescent in 2005, after getting one too many scabs on my scalp from relaxers, I decided to go back to my roots and grow out my relaxer; transitioning back to my natural hair. I began to carefully research, "how to grow stronger, thicker, healthier and longer hair", while creating a hair growth formulation that worked surprisingly well. Strong Growth Scalp Essentials Cream Oil grew my hair at a rapid rate. I documented the progress in an online hair album and viewers, friends and family members encouraged me to continue researching.

In 2009, I finally perfected my formula and started selling the scalp stimulating formulation to friends, family and those in need of healthier hair. Soon after, other products were requested (and are still being created) and a well loved hobby became a business. My Alma Mater, Rutger's University Newark, was the very first location to welcome our products at a student pop up shop event. I transitioned my hair from relaxed to natural in a time when natural hair was not accepted as it is today; I was and still am BOLD. My passion for hair care is shared with my family, especially my nieces as I teach them this business with love and pride. My goal is to leave a legacy for my family and our amazing customers to always know and feel that they are valued. Princess B Essentials is a legacy brand in the making focused on self care as we become better people once we take care of ourselves first. I am beyond honored to share these wonderful products with the world. I am looking forward to seeing your results and chatting with you soon. Thank you for the opportunity of servicing your hair, self care and beauty needs. It's an honor.

Love and Blessings Always,

B. Animwaa

 

Ivie James, COO & Co-Founder

Hi my name is Ivie James and I am partnered with Princess B Essentials. We dedicated several years to these products just for you and these amazing products will speak for themself. Our goal was to build a product that resulted to healthy, strong and beautiful hair for all coily, curly and natural hair textures; the cream oil. As a lot of commercial products may cause harmful effects, Princess B Essentials' products will moisturize and nourish the hair with its 98% organic ingredients. We take our time to produce our products with care and love. These products are handmade and packaged in the United States. We have grown from offering one product to an entire line of products; with more to come. This brand is important to me because I grew up first hand watching the hard work and dedication that my aunt has put into these products (and still puts into these products). Not only that, but we gained an angel in 2001 and she is also apart of this legacy. My aunt's hard work and prayer worked and I am excited that I am part of why she chose to share these wonderful products with the world. I am honored to work along side of my aunt to make sure that this brand continues to grow for decades to come blessing the lives of many. We built a foundation with something that works and I am excited to see the flowers that grows from the seeds that we planted. Looking forward to connecting with you and seeing your progress. Much love and blessings.

Sincerely,

Ivie
