In this episode, our host Jennifer Norman sits down with the remarkable Jana Blankenship, a renowned herbalist, artist, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for plant-based beauty. Jana is the founder of Captain Blankenship, a brand that focuses on using the best organic plant-based ingredients and lush, essential oil-based scents to create exquisite beauty products.
Jana's journey in the beauty industry started at a young age, making her own potions from plants in their garden. Her passion for creating natural and potent formulations led her to become an herbalist and cosmetic chemist. She speaks passionately about the benefits of essential oils and their role in skincare, haircare, and overall well-being.
Throughout the conversation, Jana shares her deep connection to nature and the transformative power of plants. She discusses the importance of working directly with farmers who have a long history of caring for their land and sourcing ingredients responsibly. Jana is critical of greenwashing in the clean beauty market and emphasizes the need for transparency and sustainability.
In addition to her work in the beauty industry, Jana is also the author of "Wild Beauty", a book that is like a love song to nature that brings the wonder and wisdom of the natural world to your beauty routine, and the book "Seasonal Family Almanac," a collaborative project that focuses on connecting families to nature through recipes, herbal remedies, and nature-based crafts.
