The creative vision for the The Shades of Melanin founder came to her over 25 years ago whilst working on the cruise ships as a fitness instructor. Every day off, every port that she disembarked at, was a rush with colleagues to the nearest beach.
Health & fitness has always been her passion, especially skin care and the importance of protecting her skin from the harmful radiation rays generated from the sun. It was a great challenge to find a sunscreen that catered for her melanated skin.
The only products at the time were either not moisturising, they contained harmful chemicals and also left a white shade after applying. Knowing how important it is to protect her skin from the harmful sun rays, she embarked on her journey to create her own product. It was during the Covid ‘lockdown’ years, her passion for her own SPF skin care range was finally born.
