Our Logo Story
Did you know that Raw Body Essentials' logo symbolizes inspiration? Our Founder & CEO, Ceandrys Black, designed it with the letter R, "transforming" the word WAR to the word RAW. As you review the overall design in detail...what do you see? The idea behind the design is two-fold: First, it was created to express the power of releasing oneself from past experiences or frustrations (conflict). Just as a caterpillar goes through the metamorphosis stage, so do we. In the final step, we reach our completion.
Our second design inspiration is, as you see it, a winged butterfly. This is where the final release into beauty manifests. In relation to skincare, it's important to remember that the products you choose to use now will affect the life cycle of your skin tomorrow. This brings us to the season you are in because your future is waiting, and we believe you have to open the door to see it.
