Our Story
CJ Essentials LLC was built on a foundation of resilience, passion, and purpose. Inspired by Carlen’s culinary background, her product formulations reflect a love for creating nourishing blends that heal, rejuvenate, and promote self-care.
Starting with handcrafted whipped body mousse and hair creams for her loved ones, Carlen witnessed transformative results and felt compelled to share her creations with the world. Today, CJ Essentials LLC, now known as The Spa Suite, offers a wide range of natural skincare, aromatherapy, and wellness essentials designed to uplift, restore, and empower.
As a state-certified Black business by USBC and a national minority woman-owned Black business, CJ Essentials LLC has expanded through partnerships with Amazon Black Business Accelerator Program, Amazon Handmade, Faire, and Etsy, reaching customers nationwide.
With a recent relocation to Florida, Carlen is focused on growing her brand, building a strong self-care community, and continuing to create products that inspire beauty, confidence, and well-being.
