Meet the Founder + Maker
(Alende Jones, Founder & Chief Creator)
Born and raised in Chicago, I’ve always believed that intentional living, mental well-being, and eco-conscious choices go hand in hand.
As a psychology student pursuing a degree in mental health, and a passionate advocate for sustainability, my mission is to create products that nurture people while honoring the planet.
With the support of my husband — my greatest advocate — Melanated Stardust was founded to offer more than just fragrance; it’s a brand that encourages moments of calm, clarity, and comfort while protecting the Earth we all share.
Thank you kindly for supporting our small business.
