Inspired by the rich beauty traditions of both Barbadian and Guyanese culture, Keren Kezia Beauty is a tribute to my Caribbean heritage, a celebration of radiant, effortless beauty passed down through generations. Born to Barbadian parents, I was raised with a deep appreciation for beauty, self-care, and the power of nature. My Guyanese grandfather had an entrepreneurial spirit, owning stores and selling a variety of goods, which inspired me to build something of my own.

My love for beauty began when I was a little girl, playing with my mother’s skincare collection and glittery creams. As I grew older, that fascination turned into ambition. In high school, I started sketching out product ideas, dreaming of owning my own beauty brand one day. I was also the go-to makeup artist for my friends, and before long, I began doing makeup professionally, honing my craft and deepening my understanding of beauty.

Wanting to take my passion even further, I became certified in cosmetic and skincare science, allowing me to merge my love for beauty with the science behind skincare and clean formulations.

My name holds deep significance for me and the brand. Keren-happuch means “horn of beauty” or “cosmetic box”, symbolizing adornment, elegance, and the art of self-care, while Kezia means “sweet-scented spice” or “fragrance”, representing the richness of nature and the essence of beauty itself. Together, these names embody the heart of Keren Kezia Beauty, a brand rooted in resilience, luxury, and the sensory experience of natural beauty.

With this deep connection to my roots, I created Keren Kezia Beauty to honor Caribbean beauty secrets while embracing modern luxury. Our brand is a fusion of nature and innovation. Each product is clean, sustainable, and designed to enhance the effortless glow that island beauty is known for. Keren Kezia Beauty is more than just a beauty brand, this is a movement, a celebration of culture, confidence, and self-care that empowers every person to shine in their most radiant, authentic way.

Join me on this journey, where beauty is more than skin deep, and every product tells a story of heritage, love, and island luxury. 🌿✨
