Meet the founder

“I have always wanted to start my own skin care brand. When I was 5 I started mixing formulations with anything I could find in the kitchen and garden. I documented everything in a turquoise and white notebook. In pursuit of this dream I studied chemical engineering and business. Eventually I ended up working for a big cosmetic company.

One day during my maternity leave I was watching day time TV and an ad for personalised snack boxes came up. This sparked an idea. What if you offer personalised skin care? What if I share my knowledge of chemistry and skin care science and empower women to choose what they want in the skin care, rather than having a marketing team at a big corporation do it for them. And so NINNI was born.”
