How it all started
Growing up in Alaska, Jen Scott spent her long summer and cold winter days outside playing sports and keeping up with her brothers. There wasn't much time for dolls, dresses, and make-up, but skincare was always a priority because of the harsh conditions.
From an early age, her mom prioritized skincare over makeup. Mud masks were a weekly ritual Jen and her mom shared that she now does with her daughter, Lily.
Her love of skincare turned into a career working in Spas in Mexico and later spending 20 years at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resorts in New Mexico. There, Jen wore many hats—overseeing departments, designing spaces, and leading the spa program. In 2015, while searching for a clean, effective skincare line that reflected the spirit of the Southwest, Jen found nothing that met her standards. So, she created her own—RBA Skincare (formerly Round Barn Apothecary).
