Honored to have @charbonplus go to print on @sdbusinessjournal ! 📰 We started testing formulations in my parent’s kitchen 2 years ago in Cameroon 🇨🇲 because my sister and I couldn’t find the right #skincare products that work for our #melanin-rich #skin. In 2020, despite my mother being a chemical engineer, my sister an honors chemistry student and me a pre-med student epidemiologist (my brother is a aerospace engineer & my dad is an architect), it took us 1 year of much trials and tribulations to finally harness the #healing #natural #power of #organic #African #charcoal from coconut shells 🥥 In 2021, we started looking for ways to commercialize our 1st invention : Le Masque Coco and are grateful to serve thousands of #Charboners in USA & Africa. Being a founder is challenging. Being a #student #founder is incredibly challenging. However, time + the right team can help to achieve successful outcomes. Thanks to my coaches @JeffEverage @danielle.the.acne.guru ! 🚀 Thanks to @entrepreneursorg San Diego judges @RoccoCortese , @kabloom and others for believing in our #mission to build the world’s most #inclusive and #sustainable skincare brand #MadeinAfrica. To more wins, LE #MadeinAfricaGuy 🇨🇲 #SanDiegoBusinessJournal #Diversity #Equity #Sustainability #CharbonPlus #GlobalStudentEntrepreneurAwards #PitchCompetitionWinner #EO
