KIMAYA BEAUTY

I am Kimaya Nankan (21), the CEO and Founder of Kimaya Beauty by Kimaya Nankan Kosmetics (Pty) Ltd, as well as a Law student and aspiring Advocate.

After graduating high school with 7 distinctions, one of my proudest and most humbling achievements, Kimaya Beauty began with a dream and an intense desire to succeed!

Kimaya Beauty is a South African brand rooted in inclusivity, self-love and ethical care. At the age of 19, I launched my debut product, and have since had the honour of working with brands and organizations such a Glamour Magazine South Africa, Women’s Health, Get It, Gift of the Givers, Women for Change and many more. Kimaya Beauty specializes in high quality cosmetic products. Our proudly Vegan and Cruelty-free products range between The Mascaliner, a of mascara and eyeliner in one sleek piece of packaging, to our radiant Natural Glow Duo, a universally complimentary, multipurpose tint and highlighter as well as the nourishing Luxury Lipglass (Ed.1) range.

The vision behind Kimaya Beauty was not simply just creating a brand, but creating a brand with purpose, a brand with a strong foundation of uplifting others. We take our social responsibility very seriously and aim to utilize our various platforms for the greater good.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family, friends and the Kimaya Beauty Family and Team for the role they have played in bringing this dream to reality.

As a proud Hindu and Devotee of Lord Hanuman, all gratitude and honour goes to My Bajrangbali (another name for Lord Hanuman, meaning “one with a body as hard as a diamond or thunderbolt”).

The journey is just getting started, and we have so much in store!
