Hidden Gems: Meet Jenny Jones of Olive Tree People/Oliveda

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenny Jones

Hi Jenny, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started researching clean personal care products after having my first daughter in 2011. She had eczema and I wanted to find body products and home products that were safe for her skin. I then became very interested in what I was putting my own skin. I learned that so many conventional skincare products were filled with harmful chemicals. I wanted to share more so I joined a clean beauty company in 2018 and loved it.

I have always had a creative side. I graduated in 2008 from University of La Verne with a B.A. in Fine Art with an emphasis in Studio Art. I worked in the fashion industry for years before I had children. Once I had children, I wanted something for myself that I could do from home while taking care of my babies.

Come 2020, the pandemic hit and I was going through a divorce. I took a big step back from my beauty business but still shared occasionally. Years have now passed and that company unfortunately shut its doors in early 2024. I needed something else to financially support myself and my kids. At this same time I happened to stumble across a new clean beauty company that was brand new to the US and focused on holistic beauty and wellness products that are made in Europe. Enter Olive Tree People. This concept of ‘waterless beauty’ made so much sense. Products that are filled with so many beneficial ingredients for our internal health as well as external. I’ve been here for 6 months and I’ve never been more passionate about sharing a company and its products.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Living and working in California is challenging. It hasn’t been easy to support my family because of the high cost of living. However, direct sales and Olive Tree People in particular has given me the opportunity to thrive and build a business from home. I continue to show up for my business everyday so I can have the freedom and time to be with my kids as often as possible.

As you know, we’re big fans of Olive Tree People/Oliveda. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Most skincare on the market has water as the first ingredient. Olive Tree People developed a line of holistic skincare and wellness products, known as Oliveda, which replaces water with olive leaf elixir (Hydroxytyrosol). Hydroxytyrosol being one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet. The products contain 100% bioactive ingredients that fight inflammation and signs of aging from the inside out. The results are like nothing I’ve ever seen.
My work is sharing about waterless beauty and educating clients about the importance of ingredients in their beauty products. Our skin is our largest organ and whatever we put on it is being absorbed into our bodies. I want to get clean, holistic products into the hands of everybody. Through social media, my personal website and in person events I am able to share these innovative products.
I am proud to be apart of a company that prioritizes family, community and culture. The products are top-tier, the women are top-tier, the resources are top-tier. And I just feel so grateful for the opportunity to be a mom and build a business alongside that.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
For those who are just starting out, JUST START. Even if you are afraid, even if you are doubting yourself. Leave your comfort zone and show up for your business and yourself everyday. And it’s never too late to start. I’m a 38 year old mom of four who had to start over. If I can do it, you can too.
