May Reflections: Honoring Skin, Self-Care and the Mothers Who Lead Us

A we come to the end of May, we here at Oxygen Botanicals Kenya stop to take stock, not just of the changing weather and changing skin needs, but of the incredible resilience of our mothers. This Mother’s Day month has reminded us all of the quiet strength, worry and resilience that mark maternal love. And in our own story, that resilience is represented by our CEO, Peris Mbuthia.

Mother’s Day comes once a year, but mothers’ sacrifices and love are continuously evident. It is in how they feed, guide and motivate quietly. Peris Mbuthia shines with that same passion as a CEO. She is not just a leader to many of us, she is a mother figure to the Oxygen Botanicals Kenya family, not only the staff but also to our clients.

Her empathy, intelligence, and instinctive nurturing influence not just our business direction but also our personal growth. She checks in on her staff. She celebrates our wins. She creates an environment where everyone, especially young women, feel seen and nurtured.

Skincare: A Mother’s Legacy of Care

Skincare is all about care in the end. And who teaches us about care in the first place? Our mothers. From the coconut oil they applied to our scalp to the family herbal recipes, mothers were always the first skin-care experts we knew.

During May, when the temperature begins to drop, our skin requires nourishment and water. For us at Oxygen Botanicals Kenya, skincare is a continuation of that maternal care.Warm, healing, and love-driven. Our products don’t just treat skin; they pay homage to the ritual of care our mothers taught us.

Peris Mbuthia: A CEO with a Mother’s Heart

Peris does not command with strength but with elegance. She chooses with firmness and softness. She is a model of what it is to be passionate about the goodness of the product, about the customer experience and above all, about people.

This May, we’ve celebrated her not only as the visionary behind our brand, but as the woman whose values Oxygen Botanicals Kenya more than just a company. She embodies the very essence of what Mother’s Day represents: unconditional care, patience, grace and relentless devotion.

In Gratitude

To all mothers, biological, spiritual, or choice, this month we honor you. For all the soft pushes to lotion up, for each supportive word, for each silent sacrifice you made so that others could excel, we salute you. To Peris Mbuthia, we thank you for leading this brand as a mother leads a home, with vision, heart and unisons love.
