Naturalicious was founded by Gwen Jimmere and is based out of Detroit, MI. Gwen is originally from Cleveland and is the first Black woman to hold a patent for a natural hair care product! When she launched her company, she was on the verge of homelessness as a divorced mother of a 2-year old.

Naturalicious is a 3-step process that gets rave reviews from users for reducing the overall amount of product they have to buy. This phenomenal product can be ordered online or found in retailers nationwide, namely Sally Beauty Supply stores!
