Founder

It started with me...

Like many teenage men, I had bad skin. Oily. Acne-ridden. Full of blackheads and confidence game was, not-so-strong. 

The first battle was in the mirror, squeezing pimples and blind spots. But the tougher battle was the one that followed – constant dryness, itchiness and irritation that came from the harsh chemicals that were supposed to help. It was a nasty cycle that left me confused about what I should do next.

Craving the perfect solution. 

I never planned to start a brand. I only wanted to find solutions. I was craving skincare that was simple and pure, and I didn't see the products I needed. What began as a regime I created for myself, grew to be something effective for others. I sought natural products to combat acne and reduce blemishes. A holistic approach that was gentle enough to soothe, and strong enough to work. 

I wanted the right combination of active-ingredients to reduce the signs of ageing. Matched with production that never compromised on ethics or effectiveness.
