Sault'd Rose
What does your company do?
Sault’d Rose is a love letter to the women who came before me and the women we are becoming. Inspired by my grandmother Rose, our brand offers handcrafted sustainable wellness products rooted in ancestral healing, African herbology, and ritual. We create bath teas, oils, and self-care kits that are more than just products — they’re a return to self, to stillness, and to sacredness. We’re also building a movement through the Rosemary Global Foundation, which provides menstrual wellness kits, education, and entrepreneurship support to young girls in under-resourced communities. Our mission is to help women heal — emotionally, spiritually, and economically.
What is your biggest success?
My biggest success has been starting over on my own terms. After years of working as a Sustainable Wellness Director across cruise ships, the Maldives, and luxury resorts, I returned home in 2024 and rebuilt my brand from scratch. I relaunched Sault’d Rose from the kitchen, filled body butter jars by hand, showed up at local markets, and reignited our podcast to hold space for wellness conversations often left out. In 2025, I was awarded a scholarship to study herbal medicine in Italy — a full-circle moment that validated the work and legacy I’ve been nurturing. My greatest success is being fully present through it all, from international boardrooms to community rituals, from burnout to rebirth. I didn’t just build a brand; I reclaimed my purpose.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Our biggest hurdle has been operating and scaling Sault’d Rose with limited capital while staying true to our sustainable and ethical values. As a bootstrapped business, balancing product development, packaging upgrades, team growth, and marketing without external investment has tested our resilience. We’ve had to get creative with production, using shared spaces, borrowed equipment, and reworking timelines around finances and supplier delays. There were moments when we had to pause launches due to packaging shortages or raw material costs. Despite these challenges, we’ve kept going. We found ways to self-fund through local markets, built powerful collaborations and leaned into community over competition. This hurdle taught us not only resourcefulness but also deepened our understanding of what it means to build a conscious business from the ground up — with purpose, agility, and long-term impact at the core.
