After years of unproblematic skin, Natasha developed adult acne and pigmentation in her late 30s. Products for “oily, acne-prone skin” just made things worse so Natasha began experimenting with basic plant-based ingredients in her kitchen. She realised her new passion for product formulation and skin science was effective and could also benefit others so she launched Apothaka® skincare, to sell directly to customers and through a few aesthetic clinics.
