Maine Backfield Botanica is more than just a line of clean ingredient, skin healing products; it is born from the heart and dedication of Jessica Fagonde, a mother of two lively boys. Living on Beals Island, ME, where the nearest emergency room is over thirty minutes away, Jessica faced the everyday challenges of motherhood head-on. Finding healing options for her children’s scrapes and bruises was not just a need—it was a necessity. Frustrated by products filled with questionable ingredients that appeared on government cancer-causing lists, she knew there had to be a better way.
Holding two bachelor’s degrees in Biochemistry and Kinesiology, along with two decades of experience in the Maine Air National Guard Public Health office, Jessica set out on a mission. Her medical background equipped her with the understanding of what truly promotes healing, and her passion drove her to explore the rich, resilient plants that thrived in her coastal home.
Through her journey, she developed “Backfield Balm,” a science-backed solution that stops itching and burning while effectively killing germs. Each ingredient is carefully chosen for its healing properties, providing peace of mind to parents like herself. The local flora, nurtured by the harsh environment, became her allies in crafting effective, clean products.
Since launching, Jessica has expanded her line, continually drawing inspiration from the potent plants around her. Maine Backfield Botanica stands as a testament to her commitment to clean, effective healing, made with love and expertise, ensuring that no person ever feels helpless in the face of a wound again.
