Meet the RBA Team
Jen Scott, Founder
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 and now share with 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. Jen had many hats at Ojo, from running various departments, including the spa, to designing every room and community space and the spas.
In 2015, Jen was searching for a skincare line that resonated with both Ojo Caliente and Ojo Santa Fe spas. She sought a skincare line with clean, effective formulas, ingredients native to the Southwest and exceptional customer service.
When she couldn't find a company that fit all of this criteria, she decided to create it, and that is how RBA was born.
