We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kamilah Ferrari. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kamilah below.
Kamilah, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s been the best thing you’ve ever seen (or done yourself) to show a customer that you appreciate them?
I have always prided myself in customized service for each and every basedSKIN. client. I believe that skincare is vastly personal and that every customer matters significantly. I created my brand not only to introduce a different level of product to the market – but because I felt that many brands I supported in the past were just not personal enough with their customers. We work with and and every client that needs personalized service at no extra cost. Think of us as your own private skin care team. It’s so much more than a brand.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
basedSKIN. is a cruelty-free skincare line that takes a smarter, cleaner approach to skincare. We value high-quality ingredients, customized service, and conservation/sustainability.
Rather than just performing topically, our formulas work on a deeper, cellular-level to heal skin from the inside out. Our products also tend to last longer than most other skincare products due to clean, yet potent ingredients and the small amount of product required per application. Hence; a little bit goes a very long way.
Our serums promote 6 skin rebuilding skin essentials by up to 350%; including three different types of collagen, two types of proteins, and Hyaluronic Acid from WITHIN. Our cleansers, serums, and moisturizers work together harmoniously to adequately hydrate and balance the skin’s pH, reinforce your skin’s moisture barrier, heal and clear acne, treat and prevent eczema and dermatitis, reduce wrinkles, increase skin’s firmness and elasticity, fade scars and hyperpigmentation, reverse UV damage, and protect skin against free radicals and environmental damage.
Vegan & Non-GMO:
Free of fragrance, dyes, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, & all harmful chemicals and preservatives. By using active ingredients and avoiding the use of harsh preservatives/fillers — our products are concentrated and effective.
Fresh, Active Ingredients Only:
Our skincare products are made fresh and custom for every order and last 6 — 12 months from postmarked date.
For All Skin Types:
Products work with dry, oily, combination, acne-prone, sensitive, & mature skin while targeting a number of skin conditions. Ingredients are dermatologist tested and cleansers are also ophthalmologist tested and safe for contact-wearers. We carefully hand-picked ingredients and conducted in-depth clinical trials with real life consumers in order to gauge actual product opinions — from new skincare users, to skincare lovers/enthusiasts, to professional estheticians of all ages!
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable:
We do not individually box our products and instead design all packaging for re-use. Product packaging is reusable + recyclable and shipping/packaging is made from recycled materials. Additionally, we ship all products using the first-ever carbon-neutral shipping company in the USA (Sendle).
Customized Experience:
We are proud to offer a special, personalized experience to all. We will work with potential clients free of cost by helping match you with the right products for your particular skin type. Due to our customized service, basedSKIN. is becoming known in the modeling community of Los Angeles for catering to our clients and preparing them for their photoshoots and major productions/projects.
Can you talk to us about manufacturing? How’d you figure it all out? We’d love to hear the story.
I take pride in my brand’s all original formulas. Products are made-to-order and never sitting on a shelf. basedSKIN. has been carefully curated and tested for optimum results while improving long-term skin health.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
Every dollar put into my business was self-funded – as I strongly believe in these products and our message. My main focus is sharing my skincare with those looking to transform their skin. Nothing makes me happier than being able to affect the lives of those who have struggled with their skin for so long as well as those just looking for a positive change!
