In 2016, young Hannah Grace was challenged by her dad to make her own beauty products. This challenge was brought up because Hannah was growing an interest in bath bombs and her dad encouraged her to make them herself. Right away, Hannah jumped on the opportunity to make her own.
When Hannah Grace was 11 months old, she was diagnosed with Diabetes type 1. Her parents were worried about how she would grow up with her health issues, but they never stopped Hannah. She grew up to be a determined young girl and eventually became a CEO of her own company with her bath bomb-making skills. Now only 14, Hannah is doing whatever she sets her mind to and is still a successful young entrepreneur.
Jamika Martin, the founder and CEO of “Rosen Skincare”, broke into the beauty market as an entrepreneur when she was studying as a junior at UCLA. The reason she began formulating this product was simply because she dealt with acne and nothing seemed to help. Martin is quoted to say, “At that point in time I was really just trying to figure out what I was going to do about my skin,” ‘Martin shared.’ “I had these breakouts and going back to that acne care aisle at Target was super disappointing. It was the same products I shopped 10 years earlier.” She wanted to create a new product that would solve her problem. So, this idea began as a dorm room venture to solve her own problem, and it turned out to be a successful business that seeks to help all those dealing with acne. She started selling it in a small shop in her hometown in California, then she was chosen as 1 of 10 entrepreneurs to be placed in an accelerated program for their businesses after she completed her undergraduate degree. As this began, she became serious about Rosen Skincare. She began using Instagram as her main marketing platform and that really took off until this product was accepted into Urban Outfitters where it is sold even now. Additionally, it is sold on the online Nordstrom store. Lastly, Jamika Martin explains that the pandemic did not hinder the business but rather helped it grow because her main selling platform is online and because of mask mandates more people were dealing with acne issues which raised her customer profile, as well as, allow her to hire more employees which provided more jobs for people during a hard season.
