Meet Mantombi Makhubela , a 27 years old skincare content creator and Founder of SASEKILECOSMETICS from a small town in Mpumalanga, Nelspruit.

By taking something deeply personal, leveraging it, and dedicating countless hours to study and research, she embarked on a career dedicated to representing the unique skin care needs of People of Colour and providing skincare solutions for Black women. She then set herself out on a quest to seek products that served People of Colour so she could recommend these skin products as solutions, backed up by all her research and learnings to Black women.
