Founder: Crystal Kassi

Christal Cosmetics is a brand that celebrates the unique beauty of Black and ethnic skin. Founded by Crystal, a seasoned makeup artist and beauty therapist turned cosmetologist chemist, the company provides top-tier botanical skincare.

Crystal’s journey from artist to scientist highlights the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation in skincare. While basic skincare needs are the same for everyone, darker skin tones can be more prone to certain issues. These may include keloidal (raised) scarring, hypersensitivity, ingrown hairs, and stubborn hyperpigmentation that lingers long after trauma, such as blemishes, scratches, burns or acne, has healed

A bit more about Christal Cosmetics

Any makeup artist who works regularly on clients’ facial skin will eventually take an interest in dermatology. I was no exception. I also began to question whether the products I used daily were truly safe for my clients. I focused especially on my Black clientele, which led me to take several courses related to better skincare and finding more effective moisturising products. I experimented with many of my own formulations, and over time this grew into a full-fledged cosmetic range. That’s how Christal Cosmetics was born.

Christal Cosmetics is a rising star in the specialised ethnic skincare industry, not least because every product is created by a woman with decades of experience treating Black skin. Crystal has a deep understanding of the importance of high-quality moisturising creams. It’s no surprise that sales of Christal Cosmetics continue to grow, with the brand becoming increasingly popular among consumers. This success is a fitting reflection of Crystal and her team’s dedication.
