Startup, less than 2 years.
Location:
Sussex and London, UK
When did you launch the business?
June 2019
What led you to where you are today?
After successfully reversing the early symptoms of Diabetes Type-2, I felt inspired to create my own natural skincare products by harnessing the power of the same multi-functional, superfood ingredients that helped me recover. That's why I also call my collection a "Healthy Superfood Juice Cleanse" for the skin. Every product in my range is loaded with nutrient-rich extracts of fruits & vegetables to feed the skin with nourishing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omegas needed to stay healthy, glowing, and blemish-free.
What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey?
I wish I had built a community of like-minded individuals before embarking on my entrepreneurial journey. I have now learnt that it really gives a great advantage over your competitors and in the highly concentrated market.
What is the most difficult decision you've had to make regarding your business so far?
A decision to rebrand in the very early stage (within first 3 months of the launch). I imagine I am still fortunate to be able to take this decision in the very early days, as opposed to after spending a lot of money and resources. This decision also gave me an opportunity to align my brand's messaging with our core values and become even more influential than before.
What can you help the VEGPRENEUR community with?
I can share my expertise, experience and knowledge about trends in beauty and personal care industry. I am a big advocate of natural, minimalist and vegan beauty, so I imagine I can always be a great support on topics regarding plant-based lifestyle, plant-based beauty routines and other similar areas. I am also good at graphic designing, blogging and creative projects which needs a lot of brainstorming.
How can the VEGPRENEUR community help you?
I would love to network with like-minded individuals and seek ways that can help increase awareness of my vegan skincare brand. I would like some support in raising money to launch my next Minimalist/Multipurpose Formulation that will help consumers declutter their skincare masking stash. Would also love to find volunteers who can test my products to give an honest review that we could share on our social media :)
Fun fact about you:
I can fall asleep within minutes of drinking a cup of tea.
Anything else you would like to share?
Thank you for having me join this wonderful community :)
