The entrepreneur has also expanded her business to market turmeric soaps that help with acne.

Vinolia explains that she wanted to help under-resourced young people who had skin problems and didn't have money to pay a dermatologist to treat them:

"The idea came with my baby daddy. He suggested that I should do something to help the youth with their skin.
"The soap is homemade. I started this endeavour in January 2024 because I noticed many people had skin problems."
