Born and raised in NYC, Christina Annor-Lappin first began creating skincare products as a way to escape the fast-paced environment. To her, it was a calming form of self-expression that was beneficial for her mind and body. As her love for skincare grew, Christina wanted to better understand and connect with the ingredients. While researching and learning about ingredients and their benefits, she began to meticulously design formulas that would create a feel-good experience. Soon after, Christina started sharing her new creations with family and friends. Her passion for skincare was evolving, and so was her interest in mental wellness and self-care. While experiencing the positive impacts of self-care, Christina created Sēk as a way for people to reconnect with themselves and escape the stresses of everyday life.
