From Struggle to Glow: How Sikoja Was Born

From Struggle to Glow: How Sikoja Was Born

For as long as I can remember, my skin has reflected my health. Sometimes glowing, other times struggling. Living with sickle cell anaemia and granulomatosis with polyangiitis meant my body was constantly fighting battles, and my skin stood the brunt of it. 

The medications, the treatments, the hospital visits—all took a toll. My once-vibrant skin became unpredictable, marked by dryness, dark patches, and inflammation that no store-bought product could seem to fix. I tried countless skincare products, but nothing worked. Instead of helping, most products left my skin irritated, unbalanced, and even more sensitive than before.

I felt like I had lost control of my own skin.

I tried countless skincare products, but nothing seemed to work.I found it too harsh, stripping my skin rather than nourishing it. I needed skincare that understood the delicate balance between hydration, healing, and protection something that could work with my skin, not against it.

This struggle led me to Sikoja. I turned to the power of plant-based ingredients, carefully researching and formulating blends that would restore, soothe, and strengthen my skin. What started as a personal mission became a brand dedicated to helping others regain confidence in their skin.

At Sikoja, we believe skincare should support and celebrate your natural beauty, not mask or damage it. Our products are designed with melanin-rich complexions in mind, using gentle yet effective botanical ingredients to nourish, heal, and protect. Whether you're facing skin challenges due to health conditions, environmental stressors, or simply the ups and downs of life, Sikoja is here to help you reclaim your glow naturally.

This isn’t just skincare. This is self-care, empowerment, and a celebration of resilience.
