Our Founder & Formulator
Anita Pinch
As a child, you would find me amongst nature. I fondly remember chasing butterflies, conversing with frogs, and exploring to find amazing stones and rocks around the garden while admiring the beautiful plants and flowers. Being fully immersed in the natural world around me. I loved to explore my grandparents’ garden and remember it as a magical whimsical place with an array of scents, colours and textures.
My love and connection with nature have been a constant throughout my life, my happy place. When I have spare time you’ll find me recharging in nature amongst the trees and birds. Exploring, and yes still chasing butterflies.
I chose the monstera leaf as a homage to my family. For the love and respect, I observed through their relationships with nature and the guidance and nourishment I too gained through these interactions which I hold deeply in my heart.
I’ve spent years in the hair and beauty industry with health and well-being high on my list of importance. With this interest I soon found myself training in yoga and teaching.
Going through a challenging time in life I battled to regain my health and well-being, which lead me to change the way I thought about my skin and my skincare regime. I fell in love with botanical oils not only for the skin-loving nourishing benefits and radiant glowing skin but also for the raw connection and comfort I felt when I used these beautiful gifts from nature.
I was hooked and my thirst for knowledge began. As a nature buff and with a love for science it seemed like a no brainer. I trained and gained my qualification as an organic skincare formulator and aromatherapist. My dreams for Kin & Co Urban Apothecary began.
It’s my passion to lovingly and meticulously design and formulate beautiful organic skin food blends using the highest quality organic, natural and naturally derived botanical goodness. My formulations are designed to embrace and enhance skin kindness, skin wellbeing, and skin ageing well while encouraging moments of self-care and connection empowering your unique infinite beauty.
Kin & Co is named in honour of the kinship with the natural world and the kinship we have with ourselves and our unique beauty.
I’m so very honoured to have my daughter as my teammate and I’m thrilled to share this journey with you.
