The Founder

As a child, the founder of skin xo. found herself captivated by the world of skincare, creating her own concoctions as a hobby in the heart of Western Cape. This early fascination grew into a lifelong passion and purpose. She completed a Degree in commerce but felt unfulfilled.

After numerous experiments with formulations and skincare ingredients, she discovered the profound benefits of combining scientific result-driven skincare actives with natural skincare ingredients and perused a career in the skincare industry.
