Jenn Thatcher organizes products from her clean brand, ZEBRA, at her home office in Argyle, TX, on Jul 12, 2024. The 35-year-old Dallas-based mom who transitioned from a corporate executive to in-demand artist launched Zebra, her line of personal care products such as deodorants, toothpaste and floss, in May.
After her daughter’s diagnosis, Thatcher suspected that store-bought grape juice may have been a factor after the manufacturer was sued for including hormone disruptors in its juice.“It is hard as a consumer to know what’s in your products,” said Thatcher. “It was a wake-up call.”Six months later, Thatcher’s son had a stroke, and doctors discovered a mass on his brain. Thatcher decided it was time to investigate the ingredients listed in the products her children were using.
Thatcher looked for products that were a combination of effective, clean and visually appealing to her as an artist. She found she had to sacrifice good ingredients for a subpar product or get a “clean” product with uninspired packaging, she said.“I said to myself, ‘OK, I’m just going to have to make my own products.’ It’s at that moment that Zebra was born,” Thatcher said.
