Katini Yamaoka is a musical artist and founder of Katini Skin, a luxury facial oil brand stocked at Bergdorf Goodman and Sephora.

In this episode, Katini shares how her mother's natural beauty rituals planted the seed for the brand, what it was like building a luxury skincare line during the stillness of 2020, and the moment a Sephora buyer discovered Katini Skin.

She talks about why she chose to focus exclusively on oils, how she created audio rituals that pair original music with her skincare products, and why beauty and music are both forms of self-care— this is a founder story about heritage, intuition, and building something that means something.

I hope you enjoy!
