With skin in the game, entrepreneur looks to expand product line

After hitting 40, Jackie Rogers started getting skin breakouts. She had no idea what was causing them, so she sought the help of an aesthetician. To her surprise, it was precisely the products she thought she was using to take care of her skin that were causing her to have problems.

When she found out ingredients like vinyl had been going onto her skin, she took a different, entrepreneurial tack: she created her own products sourced from nature. “I was always mystified and interested and fascinated by products,” Rogers says.
