MY JOURNEY
Founded From Lived Experience
NB Skin Science was shaped through lived experience and deep
respect for theory, education, and evidence-based practice.
As a teenager and young adult, I lived with severe acne and
psoriasis. I also experienced the emotional impact of having problematic skin — and a skin tone — that was not always understood or well supported by the products and treatments available at the time.
These experiences did not replace science — they motivated
me to seek it.
They drove me to study skin more deeply, question existing
approaches, and build solutions that work across all skin tones, while giving
particular care to skin of colour — which, for many years, had limited safe and
effective options.
NB Skin Science was born from this intersection of experience, education, and intention.
Humble Beginnings, Purpose-Driven Growth
NB Skin Science did not begin with a factory or a product line.
It began with one beauty bed, gifted to me by my late father
— and a commitment to do meaningful work with integrity.
From those early days in the treatment room, I learned that
real progress in skin comes from patience, consistency, and listening — not
from force or over-correction.
That foundation still guides everything we do today.
Recognised for Excellence — Built on Integrity
In 2025, I was honoured with Beauty Therapist of the Year –
South Africa by Professional Beauty International, recognising over two decades of contribution to advanced skincare, education, and ethical treatment
practices.
This recognition reflects a career built on resilience, continuous learning, and a
commitment to treating skin with understanding — not aggression.
Resilience, Education, and Global Perspective
Despite financial challenges early in my career, I remained
deeply committed to education and professional growth.
I graduated from a FET college as the only student to
receive international recognition, then went on to train internationally —
including advanced professional education in London and postgraduate studies in
Cosmetology in India.
These experiences broadened my understanding of skin
biology, formulation science, and — critically — the diversity of skin tones
and responses across different populations.
I am ITEC-certified in aesthetics and continue to pursue
lifelong learning, because skin science evolves — and responsible practitioners
evolve with it.
NB Skin Science
Where Skin Is Treated With Intelligence — Not Aggression
NB Skin Science is not just skincare.
It is a science-led system created to protect, strengthen, and transform skin without triggering it.
Built on over two decades of hands-on practice and continuous education, NB Skin Science was developed for skin that has often been misunderstood, over-treated, or overlooked — particularly sensitive, reactive, and melanin-rich skin.
We don’t chase trends.
We build skin for the long term.
A Different Kind of Skincare Philosophy
At the heart of NB Skin Science is one belief:
Skin responds best when it is respected.
Our formulations and protocols are designed to work with the skin barrier — not against it — using intelligent delivery systems, controlled actives, and a systematic approach that prioritises long-term skin health over quick fixes.
This is skincare for people who want results without regret.
Ethical by Design — Aligned With Global Standards
Ethics at NB Skin Science are built into formulation and process — not marketing language.
Our newer formulations are developed in alignment with:
• EU cosmetic standards
• Halal-compatible formulation principles
• Responsible ingredient selection and safety evaluation
• Cruelty free and vegan
Because ethical skincare must meet people where they are — culturally, biologically, and respectfully.
Designed for All Skin Tones — With Care for Skin of Colour
NB Skin Science treats all skin tones.
At the same time, we acknowledge an important truth:
for many years, skin of colour was under-represented and under-served in professional skincare.
In a country as diverse as South Africa — and in a global industry — inclusivity is not optional.
Our products and protocols are developed to support:
• sensitive and reactive skin
• melanin-rich skin
• skin prone to acne, pigmentation, inflammation, and barrier disruption
Because inclusive skincare means everyone is considered — and no one is an afterthought.
Built From Experience — Refined Through Research
Founded in 2006, NB Skin Science emerged from research into problem skin — but its true refinement came through years of real-world application.
Every product, protocol, and treatment sequence has been shaped by:
• real clients
• long-term observation
• ongoing reassessment
• collaboration with experts
This is skincare built on evidence, experience, and evolution.
Targeted Solutions. Intelligent Results.
NB Skin Science supports complex skin concerns through a barrier-respecting, systematic approach, helping improve:
• stress-related acne
• premature ageing
• hyperpigmentation
• uneven tone
• dryness and oil imbalance
We don’t overwhelm skin.
We teach it how to function better.
Treat, Don’t Trigger
This is more than a tagline.
It is the philosophy behind everything we create.
Because skin you respect today
is skin that rewards you tomorrow.
