GESSISKIN

Unique story behind the brand and name

Gessi is a colloquial term originating from the isiZulu word Ugesi which means electricity. The term is used to describe the electric feeling that one gets when someone captures your attention. The idea of entering a room, exuding confidence and leaving people speechless is a feeling that we want our customers to experience when wearing our makeup.

How and why was the business started

We’ve witnessed the increasing demand in skin care products but also followed the evergrowing makeup industry which is taking the world by storm. We decided that we want to create makeup that would be gentle on the skin by incorporating ingredients that would nourish the skin while providing high quality coverage. We wanted our makeup to accentuate the unique features of our customers which would allow them to transform themselves into whoever they want to be.
