In 2017, it was my sister’s birthday—and we were going out. Like I had done so many times before, I reached for my “trusty” Nair to quickly clean up my underarms. I followed the instructions, left it on for the recommended time, and wiped it off.
That’s when the nightmare started.
The top layer of my skin was gone. I had white burn spots under my arms. I couldn’t even lower my arms because the pain was so bad. And the worst part? I had to hop on a plane right after. The entire trip was uncomfortable, but I put on a brave face—for my sister, for the party, and for the moment.
But inside, I was miserable.
When I got home, I was determined to create something better—something that wouldn’t burn skin or leave behind scars. I had no clue how to start, so I turned to Google. That’s when I made my first DIY product, Le’Boom.
It sounded good, but it didn’t pass the friends-and-family test. You know it’s rough when your own people tell you, “Uh-uh. Go back to the lab.”
At the time, I was 27, living in New York, and working over 50 hours a week. I had no time to dedicate to the idea. So it sat—paused, but never forgotten.
Then came the p(b)andemic.
With time and money finally on my side, I searched online for a chemist. And I found one. Together, we worked through several rounds to develop what would become our flagship product: the Charcoal and Turmeric Hair Removal Mask—a natural, skin-loving solution for people who’ve been burned (literally) by the other stuff.
We named our brand The Organic Ones because, while the market is flooded with chemical hair removers, we wanted to be the go-to for organic hair removal that works without compromise.
