Every brand has a beginning.
Ours begins with Dr Mathilda Mostert.
As the founder of Upenya Cosmetics and Precision Oil Laboratories, her work in oil analysis and profiling sparked a passion for creating skincare grounded in science rather than trends.
Today, that same philosophy continues to guide Upenya.

Skincare does not have to be dramatic to work.
For young skin, the best routine is usually the one that is gentle, simple, and easy to repeat.
Cleanse. Moisturise. Target where needed.
Morning and evening.
That is the Upensya approach: science-led skincare made simple for teens and young adults.
3 steps. Twice a day. Every day.

Nature has spent millions of years perfecting Aloe ferox.
Native to Southern Africa, this remarkable plant stores a clear gel, rich in hydrating polysaccharides and naturally occurring plant compounds that help support the skin barrier.
At Upenya, we combine the benefits of Aloe ferox with carefully selected prebiotic inulin - to create skincare that's gentle, effective and designed for young acne-prone skin.
Because great skincare doesn't start in a lab. It starts in nature. 🌱

Mother Nature spent thousands of years perfecting the marula tree.

We know how overwhelming skincare can be when your skin is acne-prone. That's why we made our Discovery Set - trial sizes of everything, so you can take your time and find what truly works for you. 💫
“If you can’t measure it, don’t mention it.”
Dr Mathilda Mostert, founder of Upenya, explains why our foundation is built on research and scientific testing.
In skincare, claims should be supported by evidence, not marketing language.
At Upenya, we believe transparency matters.
