We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ndidiamaka Okpareke. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ndidiamaka below.
Ndidiamaka, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
As a first generation Nigerian-American, I have witnessed the pervasive influence of colorism, where lighter skin is often equated with beauty and success. This harmful narrative not only affects individuals’ self-esteem but also perpetuates societal divisions based on skin color. I knew that something needed to change, and I felt compelled to take action. olivetree.skin was born out of a desire to challenge these damaging perceptions and empower people to embrace their natural beauty, regardless of their skin tone.

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.
My journey into the world of skincare and beauty began with a foundation in pharmacy. After earning my degree from the University of New Mexico and gaining valuable experience as a pharmacist, I felt a calling to explore the intersection of science and beauty. Drawing upon my expertise in pharmaceuticals and my passion for helping others feel confident and beautiful, I ventured into the world of skincare.
My journey started with the establishment of my first Compound Pharmacy, where I had the privilege of compounding personalized medications to meet the unique needs of each patient. It was during this time that I recognized the immense potential to apply the principles of compounding to skincare formulations. Driven by a desire to provide effective, personalized solutions for skincare concerns, I embarked on the creation of olivetree.skin.
At olivetree.skin, we offer a range of skincare products meticulously crafted using the highest quality ingredients sourced from around the world. From hydrating serums to nourishing moisturizers, each product is designed to enhance the natural beauty of the skin while addressing specific concerns such as hydration, aging, and uneven skin tone.
What sets olivetree.skin apart is our unwavering commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and empowerment. As someone who has witnessed the damaging effects of colorism firsthand, I am deeply passionate about challenging harmful beauty standards and celebrating the beauty of every skin tone. Our products are formulated to cater to individuals of all backgrounds and skin types, promoting self-love and confidence.
I am most proud of the positive impact olivetree.skin has had on individuals’ lives.
