Personal Bio  

       

       Matcha was born in Suriname, South America but was raised from a baby in The European Netherlands. There she completed all her schooling through college , where she completed 1.5 years at the University of Amsterdam. As a result, Matcha had several jobs in the Human Resources field.

       However at the age of 21, she developed a true love for fashion, nails and make- up. It was this love that led her to complete various courses in make up, nail care and esthetics , not knowing yet what her purpose would be with these courses.

                 
                  Product Launch in Curacao
       At the age of 33, Matcha followed her heart, and was inspired to move back to Suriname, to pursue her love and passion for beauty.  It was here, after finding that many women shared similar skin issues, she decided to start to her own cosmetic company, with the goal of developing a full line of products that would be suitable for Ethnic skin.  Through research, Matcha determined the distinct differences between Caucasian skin and Ethnic skin.  She contacted several cosmetic laboratories, did more pertinent research, and engaged in testing on various Ethnic skin types, thus evolving her own unique product line.

                                                                                    

       At the age of 35, Matcha  opened a Beauty Academy in Suriname, teaching practical courses with her own products: make-up, facial treatments and manicure/pedicure.  The Academy and the products turned out to be a huge success in Suriname.

The New & Improved Product Launch

       By 2011, Matcha decided to move to the United States, where her products were manufactured.  Due to the success of the product in Suriname, she made a plan to expand sales in the United States and other Caribbean countries, to be exported from the U.S. It was this move that made her realize her focus needed to be right here in the U.S, where she heard familiar complaints of skin problems, inaccessible products, and  expensive prices for quality products. It was this dialogue that led Matcha to improve her product line even more, by coming up with a unique mix of all natural and organic products within her skin care line. She launched the renewed skin care line for all Ethnic skin types in May 7,  2015 in  the U.S.
