Founders Beauty officially began in 2019, but founder Sonam Uttamchandani began formulating
products for herself as early as 2012, which is what inspired the making of the brand. Official
formulation of the products began in 2017. Read more about our brand story here.

Over multiple brainstorming sessions and dinner discussions, Sonam and her husband wanted to
come up with a name that would perfectly encapsulate the brand’s ethos and values. Finally, one
evening while dining at their favourite Japanese restaurant in Singapore, they realised that the
brand stemmed from love. After all, love is the foundation of our being — and it made sense to
incorporate it into the brand name too. Moreover, the ingredients are derived from nature’s roots,
which is also the foundation of our being. As the word ‘foundation’ continued to be a mainstay in
conversations, this lead to another lightbulb moment.

Everything that is created starts with a founder. From organisations to entire movements, all it
takes is one person to create a lasting legacy. Moreover, being a founder means leading the
empowerment of one’s self and other communities. And so ‘Founders Beauty’ was born, and the
rest is history.

In general, once a week should be enough. But everyone’s skin is different, so it’s important to use
it based on your own needs. If you feel like your skin needs an additional detox, feel free to use it
more throughout the week. Just remember to observe how your skin reacts and adjust accordingly.

Gua Sha, which comes from the Chinese word for ‘scraping,’ is a technique used in traditional East
Asian Medicine. It is mainly to promote circulation and remove muscle tension. The Gua Sha tool
can be used on your whole body and your face as well!

Facial massage rollers date back to seventh century in China. For years, these tools have been
used to prevent puffiness and increase circulation on the face. It comes with other benefits of a
facial massage too.

Our brand stands on transparency, and it is important for us to share that no cosmetic product on
the market with an extended shelf life can be 100% organic. To ensure that your products last for a
good period of time, we need to add some preservatives. The only way a product can be 100%
organic is if it comes straight from your kitchen or nature! However, rest assured that all ingredients
we use are non-toxic and will do no harm on your skin. Nonetheless, please make sure to check
for allergies and sensitivities before using our products.

reduce our carbon footprint.Moreover because we are doing this we have complete visibility into
their supply chain— being able to ensure that they only use ethically sourced ingredients that are
rated safe and sustainable by law in New Zealand. Finally, the sachets are 100% recyclable, and
we intentionally used them for ease of recycling.

No, they do not.

Yes, slight redness is normal. Clay naturally increases the blood supply to your skin, and some
redness simply means that it is flushing out toxins and irritating substances in the cells. Plus, clay
also helps in cell renewal and improves skin texture. Don’t worry, redness should fade quite quickly — eventually revealing your regenerated and detoxified skin!
