As we approach International Women’s Day on the 8th March, what better time than now to celebrate and uplift female-owned businesses that embody empowerment and sustainability.  

Effect Beauty Co., Glow Medispa, and KenzaKo aren’t just making waves in the beauty industry – they’re redefining it. Led by passionate women, these brands stand for authenticity, confidence, and innovation. Their founders are changing the game with high-quality products and service, with a commitment to empowering individuals to embrace and enhance their natural beauty.

Meet Taneia Hill, the Founder of Effect Beauty Co.

With a background in makeup artistry and owning her own beauty salon, Taneia identified a gap in the market for high-quality, reusable lashes that not only elevate one’s beauty but also contribute to a sustainable and eco-friendly beauty routine.

Effect Beauty Co. is set apart due to its commitment to sustainability and affordability that resonates with women from all walks of life.

Meet Elisa Osmo, the Founder and Advanced Dermal Therapist of Glow Medispa

With over eight years of experience in the dermal industry and having worked in distinguished establishments such as Endota Spa, Melanie Grant, and Face Plus Medispa, Elisa’s passion and dedication to achieving exceptional results for her clients, is the driving force behind her career. Her aim is to create a sanctuary where self-care is a priority.

Elisa works with individuals by understanding their skincare routine and identifying their skin type to create the perfect bespoke facial treatment. Each new client receives a complimentary 30-minute consultation upon visiting the clinic, as Elisa recognises that one size does not fit all when it comes to skincare.

Meet Hanna Shehata, the Founder of KenzaKo

A seasoned Metagenics professional with over 17 years of pharmaceutical industry experience, Hanna’s expertise in natural medicine and skincare inspired the inception of KenzaKo, driven by a commitment to research-backed formulations that deliver visible results. Recognising the over-saturation of complex skincare ingredients and routines across the retail market, she embarked on crafting a result-driven skincare line tailored to offer optimal benefits.

KenzaKo is a skincare brand deeply committed to ethical and sustainable practices, focusing on responsible skincare and environmental stewardship. Beyond sustainability, KenzaKo aims to restore confidence by nurturing both skin and spirit, empowering individuals to embrace their inner beauty.
