About
Hello! I am Israel Jones, a junior at Shawnee Mission West. I have always loved Skincare and sugar scrubs, but I have noticed that they aren't targeted at everyone. I want to create a business that creates sugar scrubs for everyone.
Problem
Everyone thinks that sugar scrubs are just for women. Wrong! They're skincare for everyone.
Solution
Making sugar scrubs for everyone.
