Meet Faiza Hussain: The Cosmetic Scientist Revolutionizing Melanin-Inclusive Skincare with a proprietary matrix delivery system
Aug 30, 2024
A One-of-a-Kind Leader in Cosmetic Science and Skincare Innovation.
Specialised in advanced anti-ageing solutions, R&D for all skin tones and formulation development, with MA in Safety Assessments and Toxicology.
NEX Skincare stands at the intersection of luxury, science, and inclusivity, offering solutions that cater to all skin tones with a special focus on melanin inclusivity. This vision is brought to life by our co-founder, Faiza Hussain, an expert in cosmetic science whose passion for skincare is matched by her commitment to innovation and inclusivity.
Harnessing 15 years of scientific research and as the first MSc Cosmetic Skin Scientist and R&D product specialist in anti-ageing for all skin tone, Faiza Hussain brings an unparalleled blend of scientific expertise and practical experience to NEX Skincare. With an MSc in Cosmetic Science, specialising in advanced anti-aging solutions and organic skincare formulations, Faiza is a research and development specialist who truly understands the science behind skincare. Her qualifications extend beyond typical beauty industry norms, incorporating safety assessments, toxicology and advanced organic skincare formulation — making her a unique figure in a field often dominated by marketing rather than genuine scientific innovation.
From a young age, Faiza was captivated by the complexities of skin health. From as young as the age of eight years old, she was already writing about skin conditions like dry skin and eczema winning the BBC Blue Peter competitions. This early curiosity led her to create homemade formulas using natural ingredients, laying the foundation for her future career in cosmetic science.
A Vision Born from Personal Experience and Scientific Expertise
Her struggle of exclusion turned into a passion for innovation. That’s how Faiza Hussain came to swiftly disrupt the skincare space by bringing to the market research and skincare that nurtures melanin inclusive complexions.
As a mother with a fast-paced lifestyle, she faced numerous skin challenges, especially those related to melanin inclusive skin. Frustrated by the lack of effective anti-aging skincare products tailored to her needs, Faiza set out to create solutions that genuinely work. This determination, combined with her deep scientific knowledge, has been the cornerstone of her career, driving her to work with the most high-tech laboratories globally, bringing to market hundreds of products for leading cosmetics brands, and winning multiple beauty awards.
Bridging the Gap in Skincare with Science-Backed Solutions
Faiza’s extensive experience in research and development has highlighted a significant gap in the skincare market: the need for advanced anti-aging solutions that are suitable for all skin tones, especially those with higher levels of melanin. This understanding of a gap in the market led to a transformative meeting in the summer of 2021 with Syed Ahmed, an award-winning entrepreneur renowned for his business and technology acumen. Together, they recognised a shared passion for creating inclusive skincare solutions and formed NEX Skincare.
"I believe with the team at NEX Skincare, we could offer something that wasn’t already on the market — a medical-grade game changer," Faiza Hussain.
Nano Encapsulation Matrix Delivery System
The power of our matrix delivery system lies in our ability to deliver each ingredient in our formula to the precise location where it's needed most. Penetrating the various layers of your skin to accurately deliver the active ingredients, without overlap or wastage. Our tech-enhanced vegan ingredients that target irregular melanin, preserve natural skin tone, correct pigmentation, rough texture and age spots are encapsulated at a variation of molecular weights and particle sizes that are then formulated within our proprietary matrix. This ensures a depth of ingredient penetration and efficacy that is comparable to medical grade formulas - without the price tag.
Clinically tested and proven results
