OUR ROOTS: A JOURNEY TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN AND THE PLANET
Kigelia (Kigelia africana).
Origin: Sub-Saharan Africa. Kigelia, a key ingredient in Dr Jackson's formulations, promotes elasticity, helps tighten your skin and even-out the skin tone.
We are a young and independent brand, but our story started way back. The medicinal plant knowledge that we draw on can be traced back centuries.
Fascinated by the power of nature from a young age, our founder, pharmacognosist, Dr S. J. Jackson embarked on a successful career as a scientist and spent over two decades studying indigenous plants and their uses in traditional medicines.
During his studies, Dr Jackson developed a particular interest in Kigelia, the “sausage tree” found in Sub-Saharan Africa, whose fruit has long been revered by local tribes for its incredible medicinal properties. It was this that sparked his dream to establish a forward-thinking skincare and wellness brand based on natural remedies that have stood the test of time.
From academic research positions at King’s College, University of London, and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, he became an avid student who went far beyond the lab, travelling the world and learning from tribal communities, under knowledgeable shamans and healers in the Amazon, Indonesia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Dr Jackson was a specialist in melanoma and studied other skin conditions during his time at the Department of Dermatology at King’s College, he researched in the lab the efficacy of these super-plants /ingredients that had special healing properties for the skin, as well as “clean formulations” products available in the market at the time that could be recommended to patients going through chemo or radiotherapy. Clean formulations were seldom available then. Motivated by the data found, Dr Jackson created the eponymous range of unique skincare and wellness products.
Today, our company stays true to its original vision and ethos under the direction of lead scientist Kristijana Durakic, in her role as Scientific Officer. A professional in Biological Sciences, Pharmacy and Biomedicine, Durakic works in a team with other scientists and formulation experts, continuing the brand’s natural product development, supported by cutting-edge research, clinical trials and consumer studies confirming our formulations are beneficial addressing skin conditions such as acne, redness, eczema and severe dryness, we continue in our mission to bring solutions to problem skin.
