Inspiring Conversations with Sabine Henderson of Sabine Jean

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sabine Henderson.

Hi Sabine, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story. 
Hi, my name is Sabine Henderson. I started Sabine Jean in my kitchen with only $99. It has been nothing shy of a challenge but a very empowering journey. I wouldn’t do anything different or change the course of path I had to take. It helped to shape me and the company into what it has become today!” I left Atlanta, GA, in 2017 to relocate to Los Angeles, CA, with $30 and a dream of becoming a celebrity hairstylist. I left everything behind to pursue a calling that I felt was placed on my life. Fortunately for me, it did not work out as planned, and I quickly had to pivot to a different market. Moving out to Los Angeles posed a challenge for me, as it was difficult to find black skincare that could cater to my skincare needs. So, I decided to re-create and reformulate whipped body butter I started in Atlanta. Instead of recreating the original scented whipped body butter, I decided to add emulsifiers to the formula, which produced a cream. With only $99 that I received from my mom, as well as being in the process of eviction from our apartment, I began to produce the body crème. I began selling it at a local church, which I was attending at the time, and turned it into the company we now have today! I am also blessed to be a celebrity hair stylist, working with the iconic Regina Hall. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road was extremely difficult and, at times, even downright discouraging. The biggest struggle I faced was in certain seasons of my life; I had to walk the journey alone. It was literally just me and God as one point. My dream was so big that at times I was met with doubt and disbelief from the very people I loved the most. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Sabine Jean?
I own a cosmetic company in which I develop and formulate all the products myself. As a license master cosmetologist of 20 years, I have experience in skin and hair care. We offer products that are the perfect blend of science and nature, that offer exceptional hydration and nourishment to the skin. 

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
We would love to be international!
