My skin feels so good now.
Your products work
I love this oil, when youu first apply it , it is kind of oily but it soaks in very quickly. It keeps my face hydrated and gives me a nice glow.
I use it every night and it keeps my face moisturized at night. It also gives me a nice glow.
This oil is phenomenal, I was so afraid of breaking out with an oil but no!!!! It leaves my skin soft and moisturized. I use it in the morning and at night before going to bed.

Did you know that over 10,000 toxins have been found in beauty products marketed to Black women—toxins linked to fibroids, cancer, and other diseases? Trust Dr.Kanks for clean, safe, and scientifically-formulated beauty products that prioritize your health.
Most brands formulate their products with medium porosity hair in mind, which often leads to ineffective results for other hair types. These products struggle to penetrate low porosity hair and fail to retain moisture in high porosity hair. At Dr.Kanks, we specialize in porosity-specific formulations that ensure every hair type—low, medium, or high—receives the targeted care it needs for optimal hydration and health.

Dr.Kanks specializes in porosity-specific hair care and plant-based skin products, using minimal synthetic ingredients and sourcing natural components from local and international suppliers.
When I first started formulating, I didn’t know about hair porosity. My journey began by giving free samples of a curly cream to women buying wigs from my first side hustle. Initially, feedback was positive, but then some women mentioned the product couldn’t penetrate their hair or define their curls.
Puzzled, I noticed a major difference when using the same product on a woman with high porosity hair—it defined her curls at first, but they vanished once her hair dried. This led me to dive deep into researching hair porosity during my PhD. I discovered that different porosity levels required specific formulations. Months later, I created a curly cream specifically for high porosity hair, tested it on the same woman, and the results were mesmerizing.

Hi, I am Dr.Kanks
There was a time when I hated my hair and wore wigs 24/7. It wasn’t until the Afrocentrism movement in Belgium that I learned to embrace my natural hair. That journey inspired my mission to create clean beauty products that help women feel confident in their skin and hair.
