ABOUT
J A N V S is a personal care laboratory based in New York City, formulating natural skincare and body products for the modern man and woman.
Our mission is to create the purest personal care products from nature. We seek out natural elements that were used centuries across history for their rich, nourishing benefits.
"The technology of time itself has perfected the ingredients produced by plants, protecting them against the harsh elements of nature. J A N V S seeks to harness these naturally produced ingredients to develop products that refresh, rejuvenate and heal our bodies. We have used the best environmental and anthropological research available to find the purest ingredients possible. We have tested these products ourselves throughout the entire formulation process, which has culminated in the product line we offer today." - PL. BROWN
Sourcing
Ingredients for J A N V S products are sourced from certified organic suppliers, and ethical and sustainable practices are prioritized during the production of our products. We believe that treating yourself well with skincare includes treating society and the enviorment well too.
HISTORY
J A N V S was founded by PL. BROWN in 2016.
Following a trip to Cuba with food historian Joan Nathan conducting research for her book King Solomon's Table, PL. BROWN started to examine the idea of utilizing ancient herbs, spices, and ingredients with medicinal benefits in cooking, applying the same philosophy to skin and body care.
PL. BROWN began sourcing first cold pressed Argan Oil for J A N V S from Berber farms in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco in mid-2016. He then worked with herbalist Bethany Harper Walsh to research and formulate a product line of skincare products. Testing and production commenced in 2017 and the first product line of skin care hit the market.
