Today we’d like to introduce you to Trang Nguyen
Hi Trang, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I started CVA Products out of necessity and passion. My journey began when I struggled to find skincare products that worked for my family’s sensitive skin, particularly for conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Frustrated by the lack of gentle yet effective options, I decided to create my own. Using natural ingredients like goat milk, turmeric, and essential oils, I crafted small batches of soaps and balms, and they quickly became a hit with friends and family.
Over time, what began as a personal solution grew into a full-fledged business. I expanded the product line to include candles, sugar scrubs, and wellness essentials, always staying true to our mission of creating natural, handcrafted products that prioritize skin health. Through local markets, word of mouth, and a supportive community, CVA Products gained traction, and we eventually opened our store in Keller, TX.
Today, CVA Products is a family-owned business dedicated to helping others feel comfortable and confident in their skin. Every product is thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients and a commitment to sustainability. It’s been a rewarding journey, and I’m proud to see the impact our products have on our customers’ lives.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road. Like many small business owners, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges along the way. One of the biggest struggles was learning how to balance the demands of running a business while managing family life. Being a parent while building CVA Products required a lot of late nights and early mornings.
Another challenge was navigating the world of entrepreneurship without formal business training. From sourcing quality ingredients to understanding marketing and managing finances, everything was a learning curve. Early on, I faced difficulties finding reliable suppliers for natural ingredients that aligned with my values, which often led to production delays.
Additionally, gaining visibility in a competitive market was tough. As a small, family-owned brand, it took time to build trust and awareness within the community and online. Participating in local markets and relying on word of mouth were critical stepping stones.
Most recently, I’ve faced personal health challenges like scalp psoriasis, which has pushed me to not only focus on helping others but also address my own needs through product innovation. While these struggles have been difficult, they’ve also shaped me as a person and an entrepreneur, inspiring me to create solutions that truly make a difference for my customers. Every setback has taught me valuable lessons and strengthened my commitment to our mission.

We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
One of my favorite childhood memories is waking up early on a cool morning and helping my family prepare homemade meals together in the kitchen. The laughter, stories, and smells of delicious food filled the air, creating a sense of warmth and connection. It taught me the importance of family and the joy of creating something meaningful with love—a value I carry into my business today. Those moments remind me of the simple joys in life and inspire me to bring that same care and thoughtfulness into everything I do.
