Debra Myers

A licensed cosmetologist and aesthetician since 1986, Ms. Myers has worked in the skin care and cosmetics industry for over 30 years. Ms. Myers worked for several large cosmetic companies such as Elizabeth Arden, Chanel, and various fragrance companies prior to starting Enfusia. 

Enfusia is a bath products manufacturing company based in The Woodlands, started by Ms. Myers after she found no truly natural remedies to deal with her adult eczema. As a medical aesthetician, Debra knew exactly how she wanted her products to perform on the skin. Enfusia now focuses on the bath space and can be found in stores nationwide as well as online. 

Enfusia has stayed true to their principles. All products are vegan, free of parabens, SLS and dyes. Enfusia proudly manufactures all their products in Texas. They also give a part of every soap bar sold to Free the Captives, a faith-based organization dealing with teenage human trafficking. It is a fantastic way to give back to the community. 

Debra is highly active in her church and community and is a guest lecturer at the University of Houston Small Business Development Center.
