Purple Raina Self Care

Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called Life…

In these divided times we are all seeking common ground, especially when it comes to our individual and collective health physically and mentally.

Raise your hand if you use of have used topical creams for muscle pain.

Raise your hand if you use facial cleanser and moisturizer.

Raise your hand if you use perfume, cologne, or scented oils and lotions.

Most of us use at least one product for each of these needs.

What’s missing from the current selection?

• Most pain-relieving products overlook daily skin/hair care, personal grooming, and aromatherapy and have an unpleasant odor and ingredients that can irritate skin.
• Many products overlook the Mind and Body connection and focus on beauty rather than wellness and gender-fluid grooming.
• The skin is the body’s largest organ of the body yet is often overlooked as an integral part of a healthy immune system that must be nourished. The skin serves as the water retaining protective barrier for the body which is 75% water, making it necessary to hydrate from the inside out.

Dig if you will the picture…if you could have all this in just one brand?

PURPLE RAINA Self Care is a suite of hemp CBD-infused self-care and grooming products that soothe sore muscles, while providing skin health and aromatherapy benefits. 

These versatile products are created to be used from head to toe, and offer daily rituals invoking the 7 Chakras integral in yoga, meditation, massage, and aromatherapy.

Regardless of gender, ethnicity and age, adults desire the healthiest, most vibrant skin and hair individually possible. PURPLE RAINA Self Care seeks to appeal to our collective humanity, by focusing on our common need for daily grooming and self-care on a physical, mental, and spiritual level, going beyond gender and traditional beauty standards. 

PURPLE RAINA promotes “mindful self-care and grooming.”

PURPLE RAINA Self Care is essentially a topical multivitamin for the skin,

the body’s largest organ.

 What is the founder’s background and inspiration for creating Purple Raina?

My name is Raina Jackson and I created PURPLE RAINA Self Care for people like me seeking to soothe sore muscles/joints and to treat dry and sensitive skin through plant-powered products free of artificial ingredients and fragrances.

I am a cannabis brand strategist and product junkie with over 15 years of experience in personal care product development, sales and marketing management, and education.  After earning a B.A. degree with honors from Stanford University as a first-generation college graduate and an MBA in Marketing from the NYU Stern School of Business, I worked for top beauty/personal care companies like Shea Moisture and L’Oréal in NYC.  I trained as a hairdresser at the internationally acclaimed Vidal Sassoon Academy in London and later taught cosmetology at The Aveda Institute in SOHO NYC.

Since I was a young girl, I have loved the color Purple and have been a major fan of Prince, the musical cultural legend and fellow Purple lover. Purple is my chosen hair color and the color of my February Aquarius birthstone amethyst. Purple is a divine spiritual color that is rare in nature and vibrates at a high frequency.

The PURPLE RAINA brand name was inspired by Prince’s iconic Purple Rain movie and soundtrack, featuring his racially diverse and gender fluid band The Revolution. Since the early 1980s Prince sang songs promoting personal and sexual freedom, having a good time, and denouncing war and racial/sexual intolerance.

As an urban hippie born and raised in San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury neighborhood I have practiced yoga for over 15 years and am inspired by the Mind and Body connection and daily “mindful self-care” rituals to promote mental and physical balance. I want to build a Purple Posse of brand ambassadors who will take an active role educating consumers on plant-powered wellness products and and gaining their feedback.  

Actress Kristen Bell’s children’s bookThe World Needs More Purple People truly resonates with me as we seek to find common ground and focus on our collective Humanity. PURPLE RAINA is the Purple People’s brand for those who aspire to vibrate at their most elevated frequency to be as Purple as Possible for the Greater Good. I like to believe His Royal Badness Prince would be proud! 

REASON FOR CROWDFUNDING & HOW FUNDS WILL BE USED

As the sole proprietor, founder and CEO of GloWonderful LLC, I am seeking funding to finance the first production run of PURPLE RAINA Self Care, starting with the BALM WAND in May/June 2021. Subscribers will receive product monthly, along with  product knowledge classes and a series of masterclasses at the highest tiers. 

THE TEAM

Though I am a single member LLC, my Advisory Board is closely involved and has the necessary expertise to support the launch of a wellness brand like Purple Raina. My advisory board consists of a wide range of professionals at the top of their respective disciplines: the owner of an award-winning Silicon Valley public relations firm, a fellow Stanford-educated social media/online community-building guru, an AI cyber marketing company founder, a top East Bay chiropractor, and a world-renown cosmetic surgeon and instructor. My well-connected advisors will assist in the recruitment of my future short-term and long-term professional teams. 

THANK YOU!

Thank you for taking the time to explore my Purple-fied Purpose to provide plant-powered self-care products that serve the Greater Good by reminding us of our Divine Humanity.
