Meet the Round Barn Team

 

Jen Scott, Our Founder

As a steward of two hot spring resorts in northern New Mexico—Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa and Sunrise Springs Spa Resort— Jen Scott has developed an intimate knowledge of skincare with almost 20 years of experience in the spa and beauty industry. Her incredibly high standards when it comes to what goes on her skin and into her waters inspired her to create a skincare line of her own.


Jen, a self-proclaimed recovering skincare snob, wanted to create natural skincare products that were consistently effective and honored the natural beauty & resilience of her surrounding environment.

Working with a team of certified chemists and sustainable farms throughout the Southwest, Jen developed an eco-conscious, organic skincare line that was not only devoid of harmful chemicals, fragrances, and colorants — it worked.

Round Barn Apothecary is an ode to triumph over extreme conditions and our own natural beauty.
