I, Georgina Tang, 60, a desperate mum, who took beauty courses to learn how to develop skincare after seeing my son struggling with psoriasis and hair loss, am now running a successful beauty brand.

My son, Alessio, who suffers from an auto-immune condition, was undergoing chemotherapy, causing his skin to crack, bleed, and hair loss.

After several trips to the dermatologist for his psoriasis and no improvement from steroid creams, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

My brand, Yours Naturally Naturally Yours Limited, started in 2014: This was never the plan. I was just a mum who wanted to do anything I could to stop my son from suffering. Chemotherapy can be devastating for people’s skin and hair. My son was so young; I would have done anything I could to help him.

I completed courses in how to make skincare and haircare products and started creating new recipes from my kitchen.

I realised I had the knowledge of how to make the products, and I just needed to try it. Within a month of using shea butter balm, his skin was clear. It was life-changing for him.

I had tried so many different products that when this one worked, it really felt like a miracle.

From there, I created shampoo and conditioner to aid hair growth, as one night, I found hair on his pillow that had fallen out. Devastated, I became determined to create the best hair care for my son. It wasn’t long before I realised I had a successful business on my hands.

When people saw his skin and how good it looked, they started asking me what I was using, so I started sharing it with people that were undergoing cancer treatments. I hadn’t ever considered selling it, I just wanted to help people, but soon I left my job to work on the business full time.

I then started learning more about anti-ageing products and developed Elixir, which celebrities and white-labelled beauty salons have used.

I never dreamt I could create something that would have such an impact on people’s lives. Customers call Elixir ‘Botox in a bottle’ as it literally turns back the ageing clock, and so many cancer sufferers have said how the products have made their treatment more bearable.
