I'm Dr Jeanne!
In 2015, I was diagnosed with panic disorder which disrupted my life, plans, hopes and dreams. From the ashes of my breaking, FIGGI was born.
Sensitive skin, exacerbated by anxiety, prompted me to create FIGGI. With an Advanced Certificate in Cosmetic Chemistry, I painstakingly developed products centered around my favourite ingredient, South African Rooibos extract. My products aim to restore the Calm with effective, but luxurious formulas specifically aimed at sensitives like me.
At Figgi we say YES to
Thoughtfully crafted skincare for dry, sensitive skin.
Consciously chosen ingredients with proven benefits.
Ingredient education based on safety, science & facts.
Transparency and clear communication about formulations.
Supporting small, self funded indie brands.
Doing our utmost to support environmental cause, with plans to grow our impact.
Avoiding ingredients proven to be irritants for sensitive skin.
And we say NO to...
All-purpose skincare products that cater to every skin type
Using broad "clean beauty" claims as a marketing gimmick to drive sales
Fear-mongering and misleading marketing around skincare ingredients
Avoiding certain ingredients based on unproven fears, leading to inflated product prices
Competing with big brand prices, tactics, and messaging
Animal cruelty and non-vegan products
Applying blanket bans on ingredients that do not cause the same issues for other skin types
