We were surprised to find out that Hanna Ibraheem, a Senior Beauty Editor for The Stylist featured us in her list of black-owned brands to support today and always. It was a shock to be featured in such a well-known magazine. Okiki Skincare has been operating for four years predominantly through attending market stalls such as Ally Pally and Wanstead. But due to COVID we had to transition online which was a daunting process and we did not think we would gain much recognition so being featured on a list of brands to follow is very much a big deal to us!
