The inspiration behind SC SkinCare came from the Shalleya Codrington’s personal struggle with dry skin, particularly on her feet. After experiencing adverse reactions to mainstream skincare products, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and research into natural remedies. This led her to create her first product, the Shimmering Glow Shea Butter, which quickly gained popularity among friends and family. Encouraged by the positive feedback, she decided to share her creations with a wider audience and thus, SC SkinCare was born. Today, her brand offers a range of luxurious and effective skincare products that promote environmental protection, clean beauty, and a commitment to sustainability.   Sponsor: Brought to you by The Royal Gazette
