About me
Hi, I'm Chris
I'm a Kenyan-born woman entrepreneur, living in Nairobi, Kenya.
I created Ynelav Skincare because I was tired of using products that weren’t made with our skin in mind; melanin-rich, beautiful, but often misunderstood by global brands. I wanted something that combined real science with our real skincare needs: acne, hyperpigmentation, oiliness, texture; all while facing sun, heat, dust, and hard water.
So I started with research. Ingredients that worked. Formulas that made sense. And a promise: no filler, no guesswork; just skincare that’s intentional, effective, and proudly African.”
