Describe your company, and why is it sorely needed in the world?
For as long as memory serves, the beauty and cosmetics industry has been perceived as a surface-alone industry, with little focus on its impact or the potential benefits it could offer.
The world is currently veering towards more sustainable choices both in our individual lives and as a whole.?
S-RXN is a biotech powered beauty company that seeks to improve overall wellbeing by integrating biotech with cosmetics science to develop high performance innovative beauty products that are beneficial to you and the environment. S-RXN is powered by Labiome Tech labs. Through both companies, we are redefining everyday products into more meaningful and environmentally conscious ones.?
Do you have any latest company NEWS to share??
S-RXN is coming to a store near you very soon! Follow our story on social media platforms @srxnbeauty on instagram and LinkedIn.
Where did the business concept originate and how has the journey been so far??
During my undergraduate study, I developed a hobby for creative makeup artistry. I became quite obsessed with makeup legends like Francois NARS, Path McGrath and Bobbi Brown. All these, along with my ingrained passion to develop meaningful products birthed S-RXN. Imagine a powder that not only acts as a skin finish but also rejuvenates the skin health. I believe this is the future of beauty, and I’m happy to drive this dream and bring that future to you.

The internet, people, books, and experiences.

What is your take on doing business in South Africa??
