RayEssence Skincare was born out of the desire to provide skincare products that support healthy and radiant skin, using safe ingredients. As a teenager, I struggled with skin concerns and as a mother, I watched my daughter struggle as well.

Additionally, I saw many people around me struggle with hyperpigmentation, dull skin, and uneven skin tone as a result of sun damage and aging skin.

The state and health of one’s skin contribute significantly to self-confidence and overall emotional well-being and as such has driven the search for affordable but efficient skincare products. However, the market is saturated with bleaching products containing dangerous and harmful ingredients for black skin.

All of these factors prompted my desire to study and acquire requisite knowledge on skincare. With a degree in Chemistry and a diploma in cosmetic science, I have developed products using safe and natural ingredients that will give healthy and radiant skin, and help people feel more confident in their skin.
