Why I Created Kenzako: A Story of Self-Care, Anxiety, and the AHA Body Reset Scrub

There was a time when I felt completely disconnected from myself. As a woman, a mother, and someone who has always carried the weight of expectations, I was constantly giving—to my family, to my work, to everyone but myself. And in the midst of that, anxiety became a quiet but persistent shadow in my life.

I searched for ways to soothe my mind and reconnect with my body. Self-care wasn’t just a luxury—it became a necessity for survival. That’s when I found solace in small rituals, in the feeling of warm water against my skin, in the simple act of taking care of myself. But I struggled to find products that truly felt like they were made for me—products that weren’t just effective but also deeply sensorial, grounding, and created with real intention.

So, I made my own.

With my background in the natural pharmaceutical industry, I had the expertise to formulate something that aligned with both science and self-care. The AHA Body Reset Scrub wasn’t born out of a business plan or a trend. It came from a deeply personal need—to create something that helped me slow down, breathe, and feel present in my own skin. I wanted something that wasn’t just about exfoliation but about resetting—physically and emotionally.

When I first blended that formula, it wasn’t just about the silky-smooth glow it gave my skin. It was about the way it made me feel—like I was washing away the weight of the day, like I was allowing myself to exist in the moment, free from the anxious thoughts constantly buzzing in my head.

I never expected that this deeply personal creation would resonate with so many others. But when women started telling me how the scrub became their moment of peace, their way of reclaiming time for themselves, I knew I had created something special.

Kenzako isn’t just skincare—it’s self-care with purpose. It’s for the person who does it all and needs a moment to remember that she, too, deserves to feel good.

So if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or just in need of a reset, I hope this little jar of self-care can give you exactly what it gave me: a moment to breathe, to let go, and to feel like yourself again.
