Meet Josephine

At Jera, our journey is rooted in nature and a passion for well-being. As a mother, I sought natural solutions to care for my loved ones, which led me to explore the world of alternative healing. Over the years, my belief in nature's benefits has only strengthened.

My experiences led me to study plants and their healing potential, ultimately becoming an aromatherapist and a long-time advocate for herbal medicine. With this knowledge, I founded Jera, a brand that embodies my vision of simple, effective skincare rooted in nature. I believe plants are our greatest healers, and I’m dedicated to creating products that reflect this philosophy.

From the Earth,

for the body

What we stand for

Honoring tradition

At Jera, we continue to use many traditional techniques long used in herbal and botanical preparation. Herbs are slowly infused, balms are blended by hand in small batches, and ingredients are handled with care to preserve their natural qualities as much as possible.

We believe there is value in slowing the process down. Allowing time, temperature, and whole plant ingredients to guide the making rather than relying on heavily processed alternatives. From solar infusions to simple botanical formulations, our approach is rooted in practices that honor the plants themselves and the long history of their use in everyday care.

Small-batch for potency

At Jera, we believe that quality starts with the freshness and potency of our ingredients. Each balm is thoughtfully blended, poured, and packaged by hand in small batches, ensuring that we maintain the highest standards of care. By producing our products in limited quantities, we not only preserve the integrity of each ingredient but also enhance their effectiveness.

True to nature

We pride ourselves on using truly organic ingredients. Due to their natural character, our ingredients may show subtle differences as seasons change, highlighting their unique qualities. You might notice slight variations from batch to batch, and we embrace these differences as they reflect the distinctive character of our products. This process is more than just making skincare; it’s about appreciating the beautiful imperfections of working with nature.

Building community

We are committed to fostering community. Our mission is to source from ethical producers and suppliers who share our values, ensuring our products promote well-being while honoring the environment.

By choosing Jera, you are supporting a woman-owned small business. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, let’s honor nature and deepen our connection to the world around us.
