When she first explored the idea of creating a children’s skincare product line, Jennifer Adams Bunkers was a mother of five with another on the way, and serving as CEO of her international products manufacturing company, Velocity Source Group. As one can imagine, such a busy lifestyle left little time for a complicated regimen when it came to keeping her children’s skin protected and healthy. However, with her children participating in various sports teams under the sun and other outdoor activities, Jennifer realized that using skincare products on her children was absolutely necessary. How could she make sure that all five kids were protected? There weren’t a lot of children’s products on the market for her to choose from, and a lot of the stuff out there was chemical-filled and unhealthy, or smelled “yucky” according to her kids. While Jennifer was hesitant to use those products on her children, the straw that broke the camel’s back was when she found them playfully applying her wrinkle cream. She realized that a concoction used to zap crows’ feet probably wasn’t very suitable for their youthful skin, so she set out to make something that was. Using only natural ingredients, and essential oils to make scents that children love, she created an easy system, made up of products accompanied with fun songs and poems, that kids would want to use themselves. The rest as they say, was [TruKid] history. When it came to developing an effective and reliable product line, Jennifer was able to use her fifteen-plus years of experience in sourcing, product development and manufacturing. Before launching TruKid, Jennifer created two companies and acted as CEO to both. In addition to Velocity Source Group, she founded Funopolis, a toy company that sold products to stores nationwide. Furthermore, she has won a number of Parents’ Choice Awards for her children’s products. Jennifer’s story poses one question over and over again; how does she do it? Her answer is simple; because she believes that she can. (It doesn’t hurt that she has an uncanny ability to deal with stress and chaos). But most importantly, Jennifer is able to juggle all of this because she’s doing what she loves, whether it’s taking care of her family or developing the products for her company. As for what comes next, Jennifer has plans to launch the TruKid Foundation this fall. The Organization will be for kids, by kids, and it will focus on charity work around the Bay Area, including product donations, outreach activities, and educational projects-all of which will work towards fulfilling the TruKid™ mission of helping children learn to care for themselves, each other and the world around them.
