Meet the Founder

Meet Shelissa Kearney, Founder of Shelissa Organics

For over 25 years, Shelissa Kearney has been a pioneer in clean beauty, long before "organic" became a buzzword. What started as a personal search for something pure has blossomed into a beloved brand trusted by those who care about what goes on their lips and into the world.

A former international model turned entrepreneur and children's book author, Shelissa knows that true beauty comes from nature. In 1999, armed with her own seed money and a vision for something better, she created the handcrafted coconut lip balm formula that remains unchanged today - because when something is truly pure and effective, it doesn't need to be reinvented.

Rooted in childhood memories of harvesting honey and beeswax on a Chesapeake Bay farm, Shelissa Organics represents more than skincare. It's a commitment to USDA Certified Organic ingredients, reef-safe formulations, and renewable wind power. 🐚
