Our story
Kita Skin’s story begins with founders Erica Profke and Sean Phillips, partners in business and life.
Their journey together began with a shared heritage and love for Japan, laying the foundations for their passion to bring the richness and traditions of Japanese skincare to their community in Australia.
A heritage of beauty inspired by ancient wisdom
Erica’s connection to Japan runs deep. Born in Japan, she moved to Australia at the age of four.
Growing up Erica would visit Japan once a year where she observed her mother’s unwavering loyalty to her beloved Japanese skincare products.
The radiant, youthful glow of her mother’s skin was a testament to the unparalleled quality and effectiveness of Japan’s beauty philosophy, sparking Erica’s fascination with Japanese skincare.
Our mission
In Australia, Erica noticed that no other skincare could match the results her mother achieved with Japanese products.
This led Erica and Sean to embark on an extensive journey of research – uncovering the history, innovation, and ancient traditions that make Japan's skincare so remarkable.
Together their mission became clear: to bring these extraordinary products, innovations and ancient philosophies to everyone in Australia and beyond.
