In a bold move that positions Nigeria at the forefront of the global beauty tech revolution, Nuban Cares, a leading skincare brand, has unveiled the country’s first-of-its-kind Artificial Intelligence (AI) Skin Decoder. Demonstrated live at the 17th Lagos Makeup Fair, the tool provides personalized skin assessments and product recommendations, signaling a significant shift toward data-driven consumer experiences.
The launch, led by founder and CEO Stella Ndekile, transformed the fair into a hub of digital innovation. Attendees at the Nuban Cares booth were given a firsthand look at how the technology works, showcasing a seamless integration of science and self-care. The AI Skin Decoder’s user-friendly interface simplifies the complex process of skin analysis, making it accessible to a wider audience, from seasoned beauty professionals to everyday consumers.
The reception has been remarkable, with over 1,500 users already signed up. This initial success highlights a strong demand for solutions that are not only effective but also tailored to individual needs.
“The rise of AI in beauty isn’t about replacing human touch; it’s about enhancing it with data to simplify and deeply personalize the consumer journey,” said Stella Ndekile. “Witnessing the positive reception has filled me with immense pride and gratitude. This innovation cements our profound shift from celebrating external beauty to empowering women with the tools for holistic well-being.”
The introduction of the AI Skin Decoder is a natural extension of Nuban Cares’ mission to empower its customers, especially women, through innovative, personalized solutions. “Our journey has always been about more than aesthetics,” Ndekile explained. “It’s about fostering confidence and well-being by giving women the tools to understand and care for their skin.”
While the AI Skin Decoder debuted in Nigeria, its implications extend far beyond the country’s borders. The global beauty industry, valued at over $500 billion, is undergoing a transformation as consumers demand more personalized, technology-driven solutions. This resonates deeply in Nigeria, where the beauty and wellness industry is rapidly growing, driven by a young, dynamic population eager for solutions that reflect their needs and identities.
Ndekile, who founded the company as Nuban Beauty in 2015, began with a mission to redefine makeup standards and instill confidence. With the launch of Nuban Cares, she is now expanding that philosophy to skincare, proving that true beauty radiates from within.
