I voluntarily spent the majority of my life working with other young women. From countless years spent on cheerleading teams to joining a public service sorority and mentoring younger girls, all my life I've been surrounded by girls and women always working together for a good cause. Throughout my journey in beauty, starting from skincare to makeup to natural hair care, I became a source of information and advice for my peers.

Growing through this beauty journey, it became apparent to me that the majority of the beauty industry is self-fulfilling and superficial. Though a lot of mainstream brands serve a functional purpose, they lack substance and integrity with watered-down products. I want to bring a bigger meaning to cosmetics and alter the superficial perception it possesses and bring effective, clean and sustainable products to the people. 

Cosmetics is deemed "superficial" but is an integral part of the human life and experience. It keeps us clean and healthy and improves appearance and confidence. Thanks to my background and a degree in Chemical Engineering, Tonic Essentials is the result of combining my passions for cosmetic science and service.
