Founded in 2022 by artist and skincare alchemist Katini Yamaoka, whose childhood memories trace through Japan, Africa, and Australia—where she absorbed botanical rituals from her grandmother, mother, and land as a Black-owned, vegan, cruelty-free brand, Katini Skin champions ethical choices: wild-harvested, fair-trade, and sustainably sourced ingredients—and donates a portion of sales to Black Progress Matters.
