I founded illuminessence in January of 2017 after reading in a scientific study that Europe had banned 1,328 chemicals from cosmetics, while the United States only banned 30. Yup, 30.

 

So, illuminessnece was born! Skin is our biggest organ and what we rub into it matters, because whatever chemicals we use seep into our bloodstream. Call me crazy, but I'd like to know exactly what I am filling my veins with! 

 

My husband, Jim, is a dermatologist and has helped me create all the specialty formulas to assist with various skin ailments, help with aging, sun spots, acne, etc. Therefore, all of our products are dermatologist tested and approved. We only use all-natural, organic products and the only preservative we will ever use is Eco-Certified in compliance with Organic Labeling. 

 

Why put chemicals on your skin when you don’t have to? Let nature nourish your skin instead!

We welcome the new heart of illuminessence organics, Lati and Meri Hill! Janna sold her product line to Lati and Meri in March of 2025! Meri has always had a passion for skin health since a young teenager when her mother, a nurse took her to work to meet her Dr. who just so happened to be a dermatologist. From that day on Meri listened to the skincare tips she was given. Meri also has her aesthetics certificate from JCCC. Lati was happy to support Meri in her skincare dreams and he too has taken on healthy skincare habits!

As Meri aged her skin become more sensitive to skincare products, makeup AND even sunscreen! When she met Janna, Janna introduced her to her skincare line and the rest is history...
