Struggles:

In November 2015, a young mother, 19 year old Glenda Dela Cruz Victorio, suffered severe skin
eruptions on her face. This caused the bubbly Glenda to shy away from people. But together with her
husband Mart Crispher Victorio, she was struggling then to raise their first born by way of online
reselling whatever low priced products they can buy in a famous commercial center in Manila. She sold
candles, slippers, and all sorts of cheap goods. This simple livelihood provided her family’s needs but the
more work they do, the hours of travel, and stress- the more skin eruptions which affected Glenda’s
confidence. Until Glenda thought of a brilliant idea. A charcoal soap. With her husband, and their old
computer, they labelled the soap using stickers at home. Glenda’s positivity and her testimonial on her
charcoal soap, paved way for people to buy from her online store. And true enough, by word of mouth
and social media spread, the efficacy of the brilliant product flourished. Soon, the company Brialliant
skin essentials was legally established.

IT was always been Glenda’s dream to be a successful entrepreneurs, but unfortunately because of her
hardwork she suffer from a severe skin eruptions that makes her confidence lessen. Through her
determination of making her skin health she researched active ingredients that may help heal her skin
problems, and the black Glamour soap was born. With savings from their online selling, the charcoal
soap were produced. She used it on herself religiously and eventually gave positive results on her skin.
She was living proof that black glamour soap works. Thus begins the beginning of the rise of Brilliant Skin
Essentials.
