In her own words
Like many persons, I too have issues with my hair, skin and nails that have caused me to feel self-conscious or insecure. I struggled for years with dandruff and nail fungus. I was at a point where I just did not want to be seen. Having studied natural products chemistry, I started Kihara Cosmetics to develop products that would prove beneficial to women who struggle with the health and beauty of their hair, skin and nails. Through Kihara Cosmetics I hope to inspire and encourage self love and acceptance of one’s self, looking and feeling beautiful the natural way.

What customers say
The KIHARA product line is actually what I hoped and wished for but didn’t think it actually existed. I have pretty much everything from the line — the body oil, bar soap, facial toner, face moisturizing oil, Charcoal Black Mask, cuticle oil and the Age Rewinding Serum. And they all work wonderfully. Within six weeks I started seeing noticeable results: fine lines and wrinkles are significantly reduced and my skin is firmer and supple. The Instant Age Rewinding Hyaluronic serum is my favourite. A little goes a far way. Kudos to KIHARA Cosmetics — thanks for restoring my natural glow!
This product is really amazing. My scalp was in a bad state and since I’ve been using it there has been a huge difference in its look and feel. It has a sensational cooling effect which I love. The daily application is never a hassle since it doesn’t weigh my hair down. A must-have product.
The products are really amazing. I use the Nail Treatment Oil to treat my toe nails, which were blackened due to weight training. Almost immediately my nails began to clear up. I highly recommend it. The body oil is also great.
I’ve never been a great fan of skin care products, because even as a teen I had no issues with my skin. I still do not, but I have found and started using this great product, and its effect is amazing — especially combined with the Kihara toner. I’m gaining excellent results, with smoother, healthier-appearing skin. I’m not one to brag, but my face is flawless.
This Peppermint Refresh body oil is a life saver. I have extremely dry skin, especially during the winter months, and this scented oil is great and does not leave an oily residue. I really love this product line.
As a parent, I want the best for my child, and having read the label I noted that the Hair Butter was made with all natural products, which made it the perfect choice. It provides lustre and just enough sheen. It is amazing on my daughter’s coils. We love it.
