Our mission is to inspire and bring skin-body-soul harmony to every person on their sensitive skin journey.
Joy in Simplicity
Every person is on their skin journey. However, the benefits go beyond the surface and touch physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
At kansoskin, we champion mindful simplicity as the foundation for healthy, happy skin. By tuning out the distractions and tuning into your skin's needs, kanso helps to guide you towards a deeper understanding of what matters most to you.
It's more than skincare; it's a lifestyle that acknowledges the interconnectedness of skin, body and soul.
Skin Health is a Journey
Your skin is like a canvas, each mark and blemish telling a unique story. From moments of irritation to periods of hypersensitivity, your skin reflects the chapters of your life. Through the stress of daily life and changing seasons, we stand by your side.
No matter who you are, we understand the challenges you face and we're here to celebrate all your wins, big or small. We admire your resilience on this journey to find balance and welcome you to be part of our incredible community.
Meet the Founders
Hello! We’re Joanne & Deena, the duo behind kansoskin. Our journey didn’t start with skincare – Joanne globetrotted around the world as cabin crew with Singapore Airlines, while Deena spent over a decade deep in the world of banking on Wall Street.
Growing up, both of us watched our siblings struggle with sensitive skin and eczema. We know firsthand what bad skin days are like – the red patches, the discomfort and the silent hope that no one else notices. We’ve seen countless doctors prescribe topical medication and suggest dietary changes, but it always felt like something was missing.
In 2020, Joanne became a certified cosmetics formulator and crossed paths with Deena. We realised the importance of looking beyond the surface and treating skin as part of a bigger picture – physically, mentally and emotionally – a concept long recognised by ancient traditions like Greek philosophy, traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda.
Drawing from our rich Asian heritage, we believe healthy, radiant skin begins with skin-body-soul harmony. At kansoskin, we tune out the noise and focus on what truly matters. Skin health is a journey, and for us, better is always better than more.
"Real skin's got texture, pores, and its own quirks. Change takes time; be patient and trust the process. The goal is healthy skin, not perfection.”
Skincerely,
Joanne & Deena
