Jessica has spent the last 16 years working on consumer products at Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue formulating in the lab and shaping the product development strategy and pipeline for brands such as Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, and Listerine, in product categories spanning cleansing, acne, moisture, anti-aging, wipes, and devices, such as light therapy and skin360, and most recently, mouthwashes.
