Our Story
Rooted in Jamaica. Crafted with Love.
Welcome to Taynas Body Care — where the lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and time-honoured beauty traditions of Jamaica are bottled into every product we make.
The Story Behind the Brand
My name is Tanya Edwards, and I am the founder, formulator, and heart behind Taynas Body Care. Growing up in Jamaica, I was surrounded by the island's incredible natural bounty — turmeric roots pulled fresh from the earth, lemongrass growing wild in the yard, and the wisdom of generations of Jamaican women who knew exactly how to care for their skin using what nature provided.
That knowledge never left me. It became the foundation of everything I create.
Taynas Body Care was born from a deep desire to share Jamaica's natural beauty secrets with the world — to honour the traditions passed down through generations while crafting products that are pure, effective, and made with intention.
Handcrafted in Jamaica
Every single product in our collection is handcrafted in Jamaica, in small batches, with careful attention to quality and consistency. We don't mass-produce. We don't cut corners. Each bar of soap, each body butter, each scrub is made by hand — because we believe that care and craftsmanship make all the difference.
When you use a Taynas product, you're not just nourishing your skin. You're holding a piece of Jamaica in your hands.
Our Commitment to Natural Ingredients
We are deeply committed to using natural, ethically sourced ingredients — many of which are grown right here on the island. From the golden warmth of turmeric to the soothing properties of Irish moss, every ingredient is chosen for its proven benefits and its connection to Caribbean heritage.
We believe your skin deserves the best that nature has to offer — free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and unnecessary additives.
For the Diaspora & Beyond
Taynas Body Care holds a special place in the hearts of Jamaicans and Caribbean people around the world. Whether you grew up on the island or carry Jamaica in your heart from afar, our products are a way to stay connected to home — to the scents, the traditions, and the warmth of the Caribbean.
And for those discovering Jamaican beauty traditions for the first time, we welcome you with open arms.
