About the Sassi Family
Sassi Beauty Products is a family hobby that has grown into a family business. SBP is owned and operated by the Hightower family from Prince Georges County Maryland. We started making products in our kitchen out of necessity. With our large family of seven's (9 if you count our inlaws) differing skin and hair types, we could not afford to buy all the products we needed, so we decided to make our own. As we made more and more products we wanted to share with our family and friends. After people sampled the products they started asking us to make more. After we gave them to family and friends we started posting online. Our next step was selling products at farmers markets where we continued to grow. Finally we started selling online and in our store.
