FROM THE FOUNDER
MINA
I have used countless beauty products during my time as a makeup artist for 20 years, yet I rarely connected with their raw ingredients. For example, while I knew about the calendula extract, I had not deeply explored its colours, scents, or the environment in which it thrives.
When I met a First Nation's medicine man from Canada's Pacific Northwest, it changed how I connected to the living essence around me. He taught me how to wild harvest a medicinal herb called Devil’s Club and make a therapeutic balm from it. This experience opened my eyes to the fact that every piece of land is home to many medicinal plants which carry wisdom and unique stories passed down through the generations. This inspired me to explore the wonders of plants beyond their names.
In my journey of cosmetics development, I became increasingly aware of the industry`s chemical waste and their environmental impact. I began to embrace a more sustainable and natural approach to beauty. Creating botanical oils by engaging with seasonal plants has become the foundation of my natural beauty skincare.
For healthy skin, all it takes are natural clean products and a focus on overall well-being. Appreciating plants in our daily life can enhance our wellness and deepen our connection to nature.
At SHIKI Natural, I share the incredible gifts of nature through my creations, infusing them with daily healing and allowing you to feel the rhythms of the seasons on your skin.
