Full Circle – THE REASON (behind the CANSA Approved Aftercare Serum)

If my Dad hadn’t been diagnosed with skin cancer, I probably wouldn’t have pursued my five-year dream and burning desire to create an after-care serum from pomegranate seed oil to soothe and moisturise dry skin.

After chemotherapy treatments, my Dad was struggling with thinning skin and also had ‘sunburnt’ patches from the radiation treatments. ⁠Being a world-acclaimed winemaker that was in the spotlight often, I picked up that he became very self-conscious about his skin.

Stick with these and you’ll thank me in 20 years.

Love
