our founder

As the founder of Koro Gaia, established in 2018, I am bridging traditional wisdom with modern innovation to transform the global beauty landscape. The journey began with an intensive four-year period of research and development, during which I immersed myself in understanding Kenya's diverse botanical resources and their historical applications in skincare. This meticulous exploration culminated in the launch of our carefully curated formulations in 2022.Drawing from Kenya's rich botanical heritage and combining it with cutting-edge scientific methodologies, I have developed a premium skincare line that honors traditional African beauty practices while meeting contemporary quality standards. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond product formulation to our comprehensive operational framework. We have implemented a rotational harvesting system that partners with small communities, ensuring the preservation of botanical resources while supporting local economies. Furthermore, our innovative recycling program addresses the full lifecycle of our products, providing customers with a structured pathway for the safe disposal of packaging and unused products.My vision extends beyond creating exceptional products; I am fostering a movement toward more sustainable and inclusive beauty practices. Each formulation represents a careful balance between generational knowledge and modern sophistication, ensuring that our international clientele experiences the profound benefits of African skincare traditions. Through Koro Gaia, I am not merely introducing products to the market—I am establishing new benchmarks for ethical beauty practices that create lasting value for both our customers and the communities we serve.
