I am a wife, mother, teacher, Pisces, science enthusiast, formulator and proud owner of 242 CheMpire. I have always had a strong connection and love for science, so much that I pursued an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and a master's degree in Science Education. And, guess what, I am currently a science teacher in the public school system for the past decade! I am naturally curious and have always loved creating and testing, and the pandemic afforded me the time to slow down and focus on this passion of mine. I decided to name this company 242 CheMpire by combining the words Chemistry and empire to signify the role science plays in the cosmetic industry.

What do our products provide? First and most importantly, all of our products are handmade which means that we are involved in every aspect of the process, making sure quality is a priority, from the ingredients being used to the resulting product. Secondly, we want to provide products that will not only produce results but also create a relaxing experience in the process. We believe that self-care is essential to our physical and mental health and we have formulated our products to help rejuvenate our bodies inside and out.

We have tested and sourced the best quality materials from the day we launched (12th July 2020) and have definitely enjoyed the journey so far. This website is another step in our journey and we are super excited about the convenience it will provide to our customers.

242 CheMpire is located on the beautiful island of Eleuthera and a proud Bahamian owned small business. Many of our products are inspired by aspects of Bahamian culture and our scented candles, bath and skin essentials are all manufactured here.

Welcome to our journey!
