#BeSkinPositive

Between a glass of bubbly and another, our two co-founders found themselves talking about the stigma of living with visible skin conditions. They had been so good at hiding it that, despite knowing each other for over five years, they had no idea that they had both gone through similar struggles growing up. 

Many skin conditions, like in their cases vitiligo and eczema, are very widespread, yet have virtually no representation in the media and the world of mainstream skincare resulting in a complete lack of awareness. 

This leads to many kids growing up surrounded by stigma and shame, controlled by the opinions and ugly commentary of peers, adults and society’s meaningless definitions of “beauty”.

#BeSkinPositive

On top of selling affordable, practical and sustainable cosmetics, we want to also spread a message of positivity and representation for all skin types, colors and conditions.

With our on-going #BeSkinPositive campaign we want to let younger generations know that it does get better - with time and support you’ll take back control of your skin and, eventually, you’ll learn your own way to be confident, powerful and beautiful. 

We’re available to exchange perspective and insight with parents and youths who are experiencing similar issues as we have.
