OUR STORY

As a beauty stylist with a deep appreciation for my Caribbean heritage, I founded SILKTÁGE with a mission to celebrate and elevate multi-cultural tropical natural beauty rituals without the use of harsh chemicals. With over two decades of expertise as a celebrity makeup artist and hair stylist, I have always had a passion for natural, tropical-inspired beauty solutions that are gentle on the body and eco-friendly. I grew increasingly disheartened by the prevalence of styling serums and oils in the market laden with silicones, harsh chemicals, and preservatives. This led me to take matters into my own hands and create my own line of natural solutions.
Growing up in Trinidad, I was captivated by my grandmother, who concocted many natural health and beauty remedies using ingredients that grew right outside her front door. I remember when I was a child; I sustained a burn on my forearm that would have left me permanently scarred. My grandmother applied the gel from an aloe vera plant to my arm and covered it with soursop leaves. Within days, the burn was healed, and no scar was left. I experienced the transformative results of such natural treatments firsthand. Inspired by ancient wisdom, cultural rituals, and my affinity for natural ingredients, I felt compelled to create natural tropical-inspired solutions to improve the health and appearance of dry, dehydrated, damaged scalp, hair, and skin care.
This marked the beginning of SILKTÁGE.

Tropical Inspired. California Made.

Starting in her own kitchen, Robin crafted her first product, a hair oil using the purest, most sought-after botanical oils from Tropical regions around the world.
Today, Silktáge stands as a testament to Robin Emtage's unwavering commitment to celebrating and enhancing the beauty of diverse cultures. Each product has therapeutic benefits and is uniquely crafted to enhance the skin’s natural radiant glow, and the hair's natural vitality, catering individuals of all ethnicities, especially beneficial for those concerned with maturing skin and hair.
