Some of the best ideas come from a need for a solution to an everyday problem. That was the case for Dana Jackson, founder of Beneath Your Mask.
Doctors diagnosed Jackson with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a rare and more severe form of Lupus. “Not only was my body attacking my kidneys, but I felt as if I were being personally attacked. The lifestyle that I was clinging to and the ‘me’ I thought I was (and wasn’t ready to give up), were all under attack. I refused to accept it,” she shares on the brand’s website.
Jackson’s condition quickly escalated over a short period of time. “In just a few months after my initial diagnosis, most of my hair had fallen out, my joints had locked up, [and] I had a severe rash all over my body. My eyes were swollen shut, and worst of all, I was retaining so much water that I had gained over one hundred additional pounds.”
After moving to Los Angeles, Jackson’s health improved after a mixture of Western and Eastern practices regulated by Lupus specialists. It was a long journey, but one that opened Jackson up to forgiveness, love and gratitude.
Her emotional and spiritual growth prompted her to confront the fear “beneath your mask,” a fear “to express yourself and reveal to others who you are.” Thus, Beneath your Mask began.
In 2012, the brand launched its hero product, the Heal: Whipped Skin Soufflé, a response to the need for safe, non-irritating and non-toxic skin care ingredients that would not affect the immune system.
