Speaking
Women in business, D2C and brand building.
The skincare issue
Skincare made for our weather.
I founded a skincare brand that formulates for Pakistani skin, heat and humidity, sold online across the country.
ProfileSaira Bano
I started in my kitchen with one sunscreen I could not find in Pakistan. Five years later we have a lab partner, a small team and customers in every province.
We grow slowly, test everything and answer every customer message ourselves.
