Everything journalists and media contacts need to cover Native Nectar Botanicals. Brand story, founder credentials, product highlights, and contact information below.
Native Nectar Botanicals began not in a lab, but in the hardest season of a mother's life. After the birth of her child, founder Jess Taylor navigated postpartum depression with the tools she knew best: plants. A trained clinical herbalist and licensed esthetician rooted in Crested Butte, Colorado, she turned the daily ritual of skincare into something intentional — a practice of presence, of reaching for something made with care instead of chemicals.
What started as personal formulas for herself and friends became, in 2014, a brand. Native Nectar was built on a single conviction: that botanical knowledge — real knowledge, earned through years of study and relationship with plants — should be the foundation of everything you put on your skin. Jess brought her Cherokee heritage and deep study of mountain botanicals to every formula. The high-altitude wildflowers and medicinal herbs sourced from the Elk Mountains aren't marketing copy. They're the reason the products work.
Today, Native Nectar serves boutiques, spas, and wellness retailers across the country. But the brand has never stopped being personal. Every product carries the herbalist's integrity that started it all: formulated by someone who genuinely understands plants, grown at altitude, made with intention. The brand's three pillars — Plant Knowledge, Accessible Luxury, and Intentional Ritual — guide every formulation decision.
Clinical Herbalist & Licensed Esthetician
Founder, Native Nectar Botanicals
Jess Taylor is a clinical herbalist and licensed esthetician whose relationship with plant medicine spans more than a decade. Her Cherokee heritage informs a generational understanding of plants not as ingredients, but as living allies with documented purposes and synergistic effects. This depth of botanical knowledge is what separates Native Nectar from brands that simply label herbs as trend ingredients.
Jess trained formally in clinical herbalism and built her expertise through years of hands-on work with clients as a licensed esthetician. The combination — herbalist and esthetician, traditional knowledge and clinical practice — is what makes her formulations work differently. Every product in the Native Nectar line is chosen for documented efficacy and crafted with intention.
Jess founded Native Nectar in 2014, driven by her own experience navigating postpartum depression with plant medicine. Today she sources high-altitude botanicals from the Elk Mountains surrounding Crested Butte, Colorado, where extreme growing conditions produce plants with exceptional phytochemical profiles. She is available for interviews, podcast bookings, and press features.
