Beauty starts with healthy skin. This has been our philosophy at Lala Skin Essentials since we first began developing products, and we aim to help you achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin every day through our handcrafted products.

Our brand initially began as a part of our founders’ mission to find natural options that were effective for her skin concerns since mainstream products would irritate her skin even more. This process led to developing Lala Skin Essentials to help fill the gap for effective natural options for sensitive skin.

Through our extensive research and testing of product formulations, our philosophy has been at the front of our minds. We believe that the best way to achieve healthy skin is through 100% natural and organic products that naturally provide your skin with the nutrients needed to restore and maintain its health.

We carefully select each ingredient, always prioritizing those that are plant-based and organic, and we never use chemicals or synthetics. We truly believe these qualities are best for your skin and provide optimal renewal and repair.

Each of our products is handcrafted. Our natural ingredients are carefully selected to nourish your skin and leave you with skin that feels healthy and looks radiant.

Our ingredients include vitamin-rich organic oils and butters that nourish, heal, replenish, and restore the skin. Our results driven products help brighten, prevent breakouts, and keep your skin looking youthful and glowing.

Our Mission

Our brand’s mission puts our beliefs and values into action in a way that goes beyond their presence in each of the products we produce. Our mission includes:

To Uplift Individuals and Communities

Our focus is on uplifting communities while uplifting the confidence of our customers as they become comfortable in their skin. With each purchase, 5% of the net proceeds are being reinvested back in our communities to empower low-income women. We are passionate about empowering women within communities through opportunities like our brand ambassador program. This helps entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals.

To Create Effective Products for ALL Skin Types

Providing effective natural skincare products that are suitable for all skin types and genders is central to our product formulations. Our chosen ingredients gently take on skin concerns and provide nourishment to every skin type. This means that if you have oily, combination, dry, or sensitive skin, our products can help with your skin concerns. This is something that continues to drive our product formulations. With our philosophy being “beauty starts with healthy skin,” we’ve done, and continue to do, a lot of work to help our customers achieve healthy skin. We are a brand that cares for people and the planet, and we want the actions we take to reflect this at every move.

Meet the Founder: Madeline Nwokeji

Madeline Nwokeji founded Lala Skin Essentials in 2014. The journey to launching the brand was a personal one with its sights set on finding skincare options that worked for her sensitive skin. It was no easy task as mainstream options would irritate and worsen her skin conditions. This led her to approach the problem from a different vantage point, developing natural skincare formulas.
Realizing that conventional options were doing her skin more harm than good, she began creating her own products. She researched extensively to find the best ingredients to nourish and care for her skin. She paired her research with testing and training to polish her skills, and to start creating products that truly work and nourish the skin. She found success in this process and even began sharing her handmade goods with her family and friends — who received them with joy and were pleased with the results they saw. It was these reactions that drew her towards starting Lala Skin Essentials.
The products were instantly loved by customers for being eco-friendly, effective and luxurious. Now she continues to research and formulate skincare solutions to meet the many needs of all skin types. She develops results-driven formulations with her team, all while maintaining her belief that natural ingredients are the best for everyone’s skin and our planet.
Through Lala Skin Essentials, Madeline continues to give back to her community, through strategic partnerships that empower and provide opportunities for low-income women.
