Meet Dr. Hope Ijaola
As a physician, I noticed that many of my patients, and even I myself, struggled to tolerate certain prescription-grade skincare products, despite their proven benefits. Side effects like burning, stinging, and peeling often made it challenging to use them consistently.
This inspired me to explore high-performance natural alternatives - ingredients supported by science, yet gentle enough to respect the skin’s natural balance. I studied organic skincare formulation enriched with advanced training in organic cosmetic science, and I focused on botanicals that are known to:
- Support the skin barrier and help reduce moisture loss
- Lock in hydration for a softer, smoother feel
- Provide antioxidants that help defend against environmental stressors and maintain a youthful, supple look
From there, my mission became about more than formulation. I committed to sourcing ingredients responsibly and sustainably from trusted partners with meaningful stories. I built rigorous accountability into every step of the process: from sourcing and manufacturing to sanitation, filling, packaging, warehousing, and distribution. Dr. Hopiola was born from this pursuit: skincare designed to work in harmony with your skin, your values, and your well-being.
