The Founder
Hi, I'm Jeanne.
Founder · Rooibos Devotee · Midlife Skin
When I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder in 2015, my life changed. I stepped away from my PhD in law and a thriving human rights consultancy to navigate a new normal. My already sensitive skin became severely reactive, sending me deep into research on how stress and life's cycles affect the skin.
Inspired by Rooibos, my favourite South African ingredient, I earned my certificate in cosmetic chemistry and created FIGGI — a brand rooted in calm, connection, and original formulation. I now live in Portugal with my husband, daughter, and two Labradors, and am learning to be fully present in my life.

The Ingredient
Why Rooibos?
Rooibos is a naturally caffeine-free herb found only in South Africa's Cederberg Mountains. For generations, it has been steeped into tea, loved for its earthy flavour and calming properties.
But Rooibos holds deeper power — rich in antioxidants and polyphenols that help soothe, protect, and visibly reduce redness in the skin. At FIGGI, it's more than an ingredient. It's a thread to our founder's roots, a symbol of slow living, and the heart of every formula we create.

What people are saying
Real skin. Real results.
"I've finally found skincare that truly understands my sensitive skin. No fragrance, no irritation, just pure calming nourishment. My skin feels soothed, hydrated, and more balanced than it's been in years."
