About Bonjou Beauty
Welcome to our clean beauty renaissance!
Bonjou Beauty was founded by Samantha Wharton, an award-winning entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience bringing innovative products to market sustainably.
She's a lifelong beauty fan who was on the hunt for products that blended convenience and effectiveness with clean ingredients and ethical sourcing. It was also important that products offer a natural look to enhance features rather than hide them and were buildable for some glam days. Her dream was realized in the late summer of 2023 when she launched Bonjou Beauty!
