During an interview with Ratliff, BGN learned about the history of her business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI started <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beijaflornaturals\/\">BeijaFlorNaturals <\/a>back in 2010. So, at the time there weren&#8217;t very many green, natural beauty brands, period, but especially those that cater to women of color. I had a lot of skin issues, so I had discoloration and really dry skin. It was just so hard to find products that did not contain petroleum because petroleum is a common ingredient used in skin care,\u201d Ratliff explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She understands the struggle to access skin products that are high quality and affordable, especially for those with skin conditions and easily irritated skin types. While living in Brazil, Ratliff began crafting her own skin products to help her skin, as she discovered there were many botanical ingredients available there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to focus on having the best quality ingredients and ingredients that actually work,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, they were tested over a number of years. I handcrafted them. I didn&#8217;t go to some random lab. I wanted to know a lot about my own products. So every product that I have, I made myself, I touched myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ratcliff showcases her dedication to providing natural products for all women, but especially Black women. When it comes to hair and skin, there are unique struggles that Black women often encounter, like hyperpigmentation and discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most beloved BeijaFlorNaurals products is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beijaflornaturals.com\/products\/amazon-antioxidant-treatment\">Amazon Antioxidant Treatment<\/a>, which, according to Ratcliff, is packed with \u201ca lot of vitamin C, and vitamin C is really good for evening your skin tone.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This product is a powerhouse for skin discoloration repair made from a Brazilian Butter blend that diminishes cell destruction and provides anti-aging, treats acne, eczema, and psoriasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ajanaturals.com\/\">Aja Naturals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"351\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/27100736\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-08-at-11.58.00-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72116 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/27100736\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-08-at-11.58.00-AM.png 501w, https:\/\/bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/27100736\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-08-at-11.58.00-AM.png 300w, https:\/\/bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/27100736\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-08-at-11.58.00-AM.png 370w, https:\/\/bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/27100736\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-08-at-11.58.00-AM.png 185w, https:\/\/bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/27100736\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-08-at-11.58.00-AM.png 20w, https:\/\/bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/27100736\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-08-at-11.58.00-AM.png 400w, https:\/\/bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/27100736\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-08-at-11.58.00-AM.png 69w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no forgetting the fabulosity that is Aja Naturals created by Aja (pronounced Asia). After having a scare at the age of 17 when she discovered lumps on her breasts (luckily just cysts), Aja had a life-changing realization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her surgeon was a smart and talented Black woman who helped Aja discover that her lumps were partially caused by some of the skin products she was using. It was then that Aja decided that it was unacceptable for her or any other person to have products containing harsh chemicals and harmful ingredients hurt their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That event in her life was a \u201cknow better, do better\u201d moment for Aja, and she has been leading the way with her business.
