Behind the doors of the Virginia Stone lab lies a world where science and nature harmoniously fuse into pure artistry. A subtle magic exists within our process. Our master artisans have perfected the balance between green chemistry and culinary creativity, transforming the expected into the extraordinary. VIRGINIA STONE offers three avant-garde collections - KAVESI for fair skin tones, JASARI for medium skin tones, and ODAJA for dark skin tones.
What was the trigger for the creation of your brand?
Disheartened by the questionable and destructive behaviour within my industry, I was motivated to create a brand that not only disrupted the current model, but offered an innovative and inspiring approach to skin care. Proving a brand can have a soul, Virginia Stone was built on a foundation of passion, purpose and an unyielding desire to lead the way into a new and sustainable future.
What was the biggest challenge that you managed to take up?
Our biggest and most rewarding challenge, was to design a packaging option that was 100% sustainable throughout its entire life span. An innovation in packaging, our custom-crafted stone Luxador offers natural luxury at its finest. Inspired by the beauty of nature - sand, stone, and water unite to create this exclusive piece of art.
What would be your advice to future entrepreneurs willing to launch a sustainable luxury brand?
My advice would be to never compromise, stay true to your vision, and surround yourself with a team of visionaries, artists, innovators, and out-of-the box thinkers.
On a personal level, you never start your day without…

What drives you and makes you get up in the morning?
A love and passion for creating, innovating, and contributing beauty to the world drives me. What gets me up in the morning? 3 rescue dogs all fighting to be on top of me to get their morning snuggles and love.
Which personality inspires you most these days?
Game changers, thought-provokers, rule-breakers, and explorers.
What is your motto?
Anything is possible, so never accept no for an answer. Also, reality is merely our perception of what is, so make your reality beautiful.
