Safésha Product Development Philosophy: Blending Nature and Science

Objectives of cleansing, moisturizing and sanitizing are achieved while avoiding drying, cracking or sticky skin conditions.

About Founder Sylvia Andrews

Sylvia Andrews is a serial entrepreneur, proud mother, and founder of the Safésha company and product line. She first became interested in natural and green products over a decade ago, while running a janitorial company. Concerned that the chemicals she was using were harming her health and that of her customers, she began researching and testing the effectiveness of alternative products. Eventually, she developed a partnership with a local Minnesotan company to use and promote their natural products to her customers. However, she quickly realized that there were no natural, moisturizing hand sanitizers available. Disliking the runny texture of commercial sanitizers and how they left her hands feeling dry and rough, she began researching ingredients and formulas to create a natural alternative that both sanitized and acted as a lotion. Years of research and product development culminated in the release of Safésha’s natural, moisturizing hand sanitizer. Before launching Safésha, Andrews graduated from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a degree in Business Administration. After college she went to work for John Deere, and later, Lawson Associates. From there, she went directly into the insurance industry for 25 years, working her way up from field agent to District Manager and later, a Regional Sales Manager. She eventually found herself wanting more flexibility and independence to raise her two children, and consequently launched her janitorial company. She considers Safésha to be a manifestation of her deep commitment to a healthy, values-oriented, environmentally conscious lifestyle, and is fiercely proud of having turned her dream into a tangible product.
