Uncover is a skincare company founded by entrepreneurs Sneha Mehta, Jade Oyateru, and Catherine Lee. The idea for the company came from Lee, a Korean economist and filmmaker living in Kenya. She noticed a gap in the skincare industry for African women and thought about a brand that will cater to their needs.

Mehta was drawn to the idea due to her own traumatic skincare experience years ago. According to her, she grew up with acne-prone skin and hyperpigmentation, and despite seeking treatment and medication from one of Kenya’s top dermatologists, the process left her with a burned face.
