Our Founder

 

Born and raised in St. Lucia, Cathy is the visionary behind Melavive Skin. A wife, mother, philanthropist, and former beauty queen, Cathy’s love for skincare was born from a deeply personal place; years of struggling with acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture without products that truly honored her complexion. 

Motivated by her own journey and inspired by her daughter, Cathy set out to change that. Her mission was clear: to create a skincare brand that celebrates various skin tones, honors Caribbean beauty rituals, and delivers luxury results backed by science, Melavive Skin is the embodiment of that mission. Where age old island remedies meet modern formulations, where every product is thoughtfully crafted with high-performance natural ingredients, and where melanin is not just acknowledged, but elevated.

This is more than skincare.

It’s heritage. It’s legacy. It’s skincare, redefined.
