From a search for something better
Moving to Zug, Switzerland after growing up around the islands of East Africa, Omuok found her constant skin challenge was dried skin. And like so many of us, she spent years trying nearly everything.Â
The high-end stuff always overpromises to us and undersells on the efficacious ingredientsâwhile more honest, natural products are ideal in theory, but lackluster in results.Â
A daring thought laterâŠfollowed by studies in Skin Anatomy before deep diving into ingredients as she completed a Diploma as a Natural Skincare formulatorâŠOmuok started, knowing she could make something better.
To crafting skincare for real people
Developing skincare for real peopleâs skin profilesâfrom Omuokâs melanin skin type to her family and friendsâ fair-to-melanin skin typesâMUUOK was born to finally soothe, even, and moisturize all types of skin.
Instead of using familiar ingredients that often irritate the skin, we use effective substitutes that feel better on (e.g. Bakuchiol instead of Retinol).Â
But itâs never just about performance. Drawing inspiration from the islands of Lamu, Malindi, and the coasts of Ethiopiaâand sourcing oils and extracts from all over the worldâMUUOK brings the beautiful to your daily skincare.
