OUR STORY
MEET ROBIN EMTAGE, FOUNDER
Robin Emtage,
hairstylist, makeup artist and natural beauty enthusiast devoted her career to helping actresses and models look their best. She have been frustrated that most styling serums and oils in the marketplace were full of silicones, harsh chemicals, and preservatives. She grew up watching her Trinidadian mother and Venezuela grandmother use pure botanicals on the skin and make coconut oil for the hair. This led her on a quest to find a natural alternative, something truly pure and natural that would improve the health of the hair while making it silky, smooth, and shiny. After many fruitless searches for a pure hair styling product that she loved, Robin decided to create my own hair oil, using the most natural, organic, nontoxic oils inspired by ancient beauty traditions from around the world. Drawing from those ancient wisdom, in 2011, Robin launched her first product SILKtage Rejuvenating Styling Serum by Emtage Beauty.
