The Heart Behind Khya
Khya is more than just a skincare brand, it reflects my personal journey.
Born in Sierra Leone and raised in New Zealand, I have personally experienced the gaps in the beauty industry when it comes to caring for skin like mine. As I got older, I struggled with hyperpigmentation and began searching for products that would truly nurture my skin and help me regain my confidence during this new stage my skin was going through.
This journey led me to fall in love with self-care and discover the true power of thoughtful formulation. I learned to understand my skin’s needs, how ingredients can heal and protect, and that not everything on the market is designed for long-term skin health. With this knowledge, I gained confidence and a deeper understanding of beauty, allowing me to make wiser choices for my skin.
For Melanin-rich skin, skincare isn’t just about trending ingredients, it’s about thoughtfully selecting what truly works to protect, heal, and nourish our skin, beyond the present, for lasting care.
This realisation, inspired Khya. 
Every product is crafted with intention and tailored for Melanin-rich skin, because confidence is too precious to be robbed of. 
This belief is the foundation on which Khya is built: Your beauty, your story.
