Meet Mantombi Makhubela , a 27 years old skincare content creator and Founder of SASEKILECOSMETICS from a small town in Mpumalanga, Nelspruit. In her quest to find her “muse,” Mantombi had to engage in deep introspection about what she truly desired to do. By taking something deeply personal, leveraging it, and dedicating countless hours to study and research, she embarked on a career dedicated to representing the unique skin care needs of People of Colour and providing skincare solutions for Black women. She then set herself out on a quest to seek products that served People of Colour so she could recommend these skin products as solutions, backed up by all her research and learnings to Black women.
