The Lagos beauty scene just got a whole lot more exciting! Uncover Skincare, a brand renowned for its science-backed, melanin-rich formulations, recently celebrated the grand opening of its first-ever experience center in the heart of Nigeria’s bustling commercial capital. This flagship store marks a significant milestone not only for Uncover Skincare but also for the broader landscape of Africa’s beauty industry.
The Uncover Story: Founded on Diversity, Fueled by Science
Uncover Skincare was founded by a diverse trio: Jade Oyateru, Catherine Lee, and Sneha Mehtu. Their journey began with a shared passion for empowering individuals to embrace their unique beauty and a desire to address the lack of inclusive, high-performance skincare options for melanin-rich skin.
Jade Oyateru, a Nigerian entrepreneur, brought her deep understanding of the African beauty market and a strong desire to celebrate African beauty in all its diverse forms. Catherine Lee, a Korean economist turned filmmaker turned entrepreneur, contributed her global perspective on technology and innovation in storytelling and brand building. Sneha Mehtu, an Indian financial expert with extensive experience in the beauty industry, provided her strategic acumen and leadership skills.
Combining their complementary expertise and passion, the trio embarked on a mission to create a brand that represented the diverse tapestry of African women. Uncover Skincare was born, offering a range of products formulated with potent ingredients and high-performance actives specifically designed to address the concerns of melanin-rich skin.
Introducing Sneha Mehtu: The Strategic Leader Guiding the Vision
While all three co-founders play crucial roles in shaping Uncover’s vision and products, Sneha Mehtu serves as the brand’s CEO, leveraging her vast experience to guide the company’s strategic direction and ensure its continued growth. Her vision for Uncover extends beyond offering exceptional products; it’s about building a community that empowers individuals to embrace their unique beauty and feel confident in their own skin.
Uncover has released a total of nine products, harnessing advanced, innovative K-Beauty skincare technology with indigenous African ingredients. Some of their notable products include: Aloe Invisible Sunscreen, I Am Spotless Pimple Patch, Baoba Glow C-Serum and Rooibos Glow Toner. Uncover is available to shop online at uncoverskincare.ng and in Medplus stores nationwide. For global customers they offer international shipping through their global website uncoverskincare.co.
