Inspiration

Skovsona is inspired by my mother’s breast cancer journey. During chemotherapy, she experienced skin darkening and deterioration on certain areas of her body. She became most self conscious of her hands - an area that was hard to cover. This highlighted for me how important the presentation of certain body areas can be for our confidence.

Mission

Skovsona creates clean, effective solutions for body hyperpigmentation. Our areas of focus are the hands, elbows, knees and neck. These areas have different skin textures compared to other body skin and require specific formulations to tackle hyperpigmentation.

Giving Back

1% percent of all proceeds are donated to After Breast Cancer.

Ethos

My brand ethos is reflected in the name. Skov is a Nordic word meaning ‘forest’, a reminder to harness the power of botanicals. It’s also a nod to Nordic minimalism - a way of life and aesthetic that has had a significant positive impact on my life.

Sona is a Punjabi/Sanskrit word meaning beauty, gold & abundance. It pays homage to my Punjabi heritage and connects to my mission of making body skin youthful and radiant through the use of active botanicals.

Product Philosophy

All Skovsona products are performance driven, clean, vegan and made with organic active botanicals in Toronto. I work with Canadian chemists to formulate the products with specific ingredients, textures, absorption and sensorial experiences so that each area is treated effectively and given the unique care it deserves.
