Innovative Strategies and Philosophies Jacine’s journey into the world of skincare was born out of personal challenges. Struggling with acne-prone sensitive skin and witnessing her children develop eczema without finding effective solutions from existing products, Jacine felt compelled to seek a better way. This led to the inception of Roccoco Botanicals, a brand dedicated to addressing the unique needs of various skin types.

Sustainability in Skincare Jacine sheds light on a common myth in skincare—the belief that products labeled as “non-comedogenic” are inherently acne-safe. In reality, many products with this label may not be acne-safe, leading to confusion among customers who may experience breakouts after using them. This highlights the importance of educating consumers about the mythsof product claims and ingredients. Roccoco Botanicals has consciously decided to collaborate with suppliers who prioritize sustainable practices. A significant number of the brand’s ingredients carry Eco certification. In their manufacturing process, water is recycled for cooling, and efforts are made to recycle the fill or packaging received. Jacine acknowledges trends but doesn’t always embrace them. For her, innovation is about finding alternative solutions to problems that are either quicker or more effective.
