Celebrating Women’s Small Business Month With Fran Ngong, Founder of Fran’s Organic Body Care

October is Women’s Small Business Month and we have an amazing businesswoman to highlight.

Fran Ngong is the founder of Fran’s Organic Body Care. Having suffered from Venous Insufficiency and extremely dry skin most of her life, Fran was introduced to natural Shea Butter and its benefits in 2005. When she incorporated the use of the butter with organic soaps, her skin maintained moisture and began to heal for the first time in her life. In 2008 Fran made her first batch of handmade soap utilizing organic Shea and Mango butters, fresh fruit and vegetables, and pure essential oils. In 2009, Fran’s family encouraged her to sell her beautiful soaps and moisturizers to everyone. It was the inspiration she needed to start her business and develop a full organic body care line. We had the pleasure of learning more about Fran and the inspiration behind the brand.
