Reverend Bristol drawing on mother nature for organic body care

Reverend Holliann Bristol formerly known as Holliann Pluck, stepped away from teaching in 2016 before being ordained in Fort Lauderdale, United States of America alongside her husband Reverend Dexter Bristol. Together they pastor at Faith Fellowship Empowerment Ministry which is located in Kingsland, Christ Church. 

Bristol is the owner of Natural by Nature Organic Body Care. The Guyanese native with extensive knowledge of botanicals (flora) is operating her business from Barbados and offers a wide range of natural skincare from her Kingsland, Christ Church location. 

Her company has been in operation for almost three years with natural skin-care products that cater to everyone’s needs, ranging from anti-ageing to aromatherapy services that have been well received by Barbadians and Guyanese alike.

“Natural by Nature Organic Body Care has been well received in both countries. Most of my customers who are repeat clientele have been with me from the very start of my business over two years ago. In order to spread my wings this past year I stepped out of my comfort zone of being introverted and became the face of my company on social media. The response was phenomenal,” she said. 

The former student of the Cyril Potter College of Education who has a Certificate in Education Secondary Science, with 10 years of experience teaching Science, especially Biology and a Diploma in Interdisciplinary Studies in Bible and Theology from the West Indies School of Technology, is guided by Revelation 22:2 which states “The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations”. She said she decided to start Natural by Nature Organic Body Care in 2021 because of her love for beauty as the women spoken of in the Bible were beautiful.

“I was always obsessed with my pheomelanin (black) skin as I always wanted to make it shine and glow as I hardly wear makeup. As a young lady I was always admired because of my complexion and its beauty. I slowly realized that my purpose in life was to help others to achieve theirs. I utilized my college education after learning Saponification of soaps (soap making) in chemistry at the Teacher’s College, to realize my dream and start my business,” she said. 

Bristol who also has certification in Cosmetology and Advanced Nails from the International Academy of Cosmetology said she made the decision to have all-natural products after realizing the way in which natural remedies worked on her skin over the years.

 “Growing up my mother used [herbs] for many of our ailments and gave us herbs to use on our skin whenever we were afflicted with anything. Our skincare entailed oils and butters, especially coconut and cocoa butter. My mother took care of our hair with her own natural hair products, and we all had long thick hair. When I had the opportunity to create my own products, I wanted to use some of what I experienced as a young girl growing up to make my products. Being a scientist, I absolutely love researching and would spend hours researching plants for their benefits and the best way to utilize them. To date, Natural by Nature Organic Body Care products have helped hundreds of other persons not only in Barbados and Guyana but customers spread across the region as well,” she said. 

As the world celebrates the start of 2023 the owner of Natural by Nature Organic Body Care is hopeful that her company’s products can be distributed internationally. 

“Last year I opened my business in Guyana and my goal is to have products all over the world. My next location is Grenada. I have customers in Turks and Caicos, United Kingdom and the United States of America who are all interested in having my products in a physical location. My vision for the future is to become a household name within the next five years,” she said. 

Bristol wished to thank her husband Reverend Dexter Bristol for his financial support throughout her entrepreneurial journey, her mother, family, members of her church and customers for all of the support they have given to her since beginning her business.
