Why are we here today?
We are here for the opening of the Nigerian branch of my
skincare and wellness brand, Moshea Glance. The brand was launched 6 years ago
in Maryland USA and today, Nigerians have the privilege to benefit from the
massive organic and herbal products that are designed for different types of
skins.
How did it all start?
Well, I like fashion and everything that has to do with the skin
but I started when one of my kids had problems with the skin, I mean a skin
defect. We tried everything we could lay our hands on in the United States but
the defect was still there. So, I decided to go herbal in Nigeria and it
started getting better. So I started getting more interested in the process; I
was applying something and started seeing the result after a while. So, I felt
that I could help more people with this, so I started selling. After I well, I
felt that it was necessary for me to go deeper into the business, so I decided
to study more about skincare. I searched for a school that I could attend, I
saw many but I settled for Cortiva Institute for Skincare Therapy in Baltimore,
Maryland. So at the institute, I studied about the skin and its products.
Impressive! 6 years down the line, what has the experience
been like?
Laughs… a lot of trial and error before I could really have a
good grasp of the business but after I went to school, I became really
confident in the products I prescribe to people.
I am sure that you must have had a few challenges before you
get to where you are today. Can you tell us about some of those challenges?
The skincare business is highly expensive and capital
intensive. You have to sort all the ingredients from all over the world. We
source other herbal ingredients from countries like the Philippines, Japan, etc.
all the organic oils here are sourced in the US and we have to be up and doing
to make sure that we source the right ingredient for each product and getting original
ingredients from different part of the world is very costly. People sometimes
get loans from banks and other financial institutions to set up this kind of
business but I didn’t. I worked patiently and slowly from scratch to get to
where I am today. Logistics is another major challenge people don’t consider
before setting up this kind of business. So those are some of the challenges
inherent in this business.
Let’s talk about some of the products that you have here and
what they do. Here is the Moshea Glance exfoliator, what does it do?
Moshea Glance Exfoliator helps you to exfoliate your skin.
This is necessary for everyone because the skin is being renewed every 120
days. It helps to remove the dull skin and then regenerate and renew.
I can also see Maxi Shea Butter, what does this do?
Maxi Shea Butter has essential oil and treatments that help
your skin to glow, if anyone has any problem with their skin, this can help. It
is also very safe for babies too.
Looking at a client like me, what kind of product would you
prescribe for me and why?
Obviously, you have normal to dry skin, I’ll give you the
glow oil, and caramel and I’ll give you fresh skin oil. Because you have normal
to dry skin, you need to moisturize your face and then, you have to exfoliate,
so this will be your lotion to retain your skin because you are not a dark
person but the sun has eaten deep into your skin.
Let’s talk about the event that is happening here this
afternoon. We have a few celebrity faces in the house, why are they here today?
Today is the opening of the Lagos branch of Moshea Glance
Skincare and Wellness and all the celebrity faces you are seeing here today are
part of the celebration and an integral part of the brand. Some of them have
been using our products for some years now and they can testify to the efficacy
of our products. I would not want to let the cat out of the bag yet, so, I
wouldn’t tell you why they are here yet but as time goes on, you will see for
yourself why they are associating with the Moshea Glance brand.
Privileged information also revealed that you are having a
2-in-1 celebration today, is that true?
Yes, it is. I am celebrating my birthday and also having this
opening so it’s a double celebration for me today.
How do you feel celebrating another year?
This Nigerian branch started 2 years ago, we got here about
two years ago but then COVID came and something else happened that I don’t want
to talk about. But then, finally, it is coming int reality and I give God the
glory for preserving my life, my family and my loved ones. To be here today is
only by God’s grace and I thank him for that.
What do your numerous clients stand to benefit from doing business
with Moshea Glance?
A lot, I will encourage people to patronize us, our logistics
is awesome because we ship all over the world, we have a standby customer
service 24/7. As you know, we are in the US and we are also here in Nigeria; we
can be reached at any time. We also don’t just take people’s orders, we find
out what they need it fir so that we can offer them the very best. We sell what
people need and not what they want.
Aside from cosmetics and skincare, what else does Moshea
Glance offer?
We do weight loss, and weight management, we sell detox products,
and we are also working on adding makeup and nails to what we do. We are a work
in progress and by the time we are fully settled, our clients will be the most
beneficial for it.
