Meet the Founder
Sejal Patel, PharmD
Sejal is a pharmacist and the founder of Plantkos. She meticulously crafted Plantkos, merging botanical extracts with lab-derived ingredients to create gentle yet clinically proven products.
It started 13 years ago whenSejal’s daughter was born with a rare skin condition called pigmentary mosaicism. As pharmacists, she and her spouse became curious about how ingredient synergies may affect skin physiology. They learned that the most common skin concerns across all ages, races, and genders were the same—dehydration, irritation, and hyperpigmentation—and often resulted from a weakened skin barrier and microbiome. They also discovered these conditions appeared more often and dramatically in people with melanin-rich skin.
They discovered a big problem! Historically, skincare products have been formulated for and tested on a very narrow audience: people with white or light skin. We recognized the need to create a clinically inclusive range of skincare that is proven to address the most common skin concerns for even the most compromised skin, making it effective for all types and tones.
Plantkos is a pharmacist-developed, clinically-inclusive skincare formulated and tested to address dehydration, irritation, and hyperpigmentation – all at once and for all!
