About Jen & Tonic
Hi, I am Jennie, founder of Jen & Tonic, kitchen witch since the early 1990s, and accomplice for as long as I can remember. I am so grateful you are here!
Throughout the years, I have been fighting for the rights of myself, my loved ones, and others in my community. Whether it has been speaking up about my school board banning books when I was 12, or voting in every election since I was old enough to vote, I have been an active member of my community, wherever that community may physically be. I was shot with wooden and rubber bullets by the police in 2020 during the George Floyd protests. I have rallied, organized, and worked with community leaders all along the way.
And in the middle of it all, I built Jen & Tonic from scratch. I had opened up a bottle of body wash that was supposed to be more natural than similar products, and the headache I got from the artificial fragrance was swift and lasted all day long. My skin was severely broken out from artificial fragrance. And every bug spray on the market I tried was either not natural enough or didn't even work. I thought to myself, there had to be a better way.
