Where Skincare Meets Self-Care: A Chat with Skoah’s Chris Scott
Created in the heart of Vancouver’s vibrant Yaletown neighbourhood, Skoah isn’t just a skincare brand – it’s a philosophy rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel great in their own skin. Founded in 2001 by Chris Scott, Skoah introduced a revolutionary concept that combined personal training for the skin with powerful skincare products designed to deliver real results.
Skoah’s journey began with this simple vision from Chris: to create a fresh new skincare experience where customers could feel great from the skin in. Inspired by a deep background in athletics, coaching, and retail, Chris saw skincare as a natural extension of personal care – a way to bring a completely fresh perspective to the industry.
“Our product development originates in our facial shops, so they are rooted in deep, practical skincare expertise,” says Chris, “They are locally manufactured using world-class ingredients, so they are designed with purpose and created with care.”
Unlike other skincare brands, Skoah takes a personalized approach to skincare, offering tailored solutions that address individual skin concerns and needs. From acne-prone skin to aging concerns, Skoah’s range of products is designed to empower customers to take control of their skincare journey and achieve the glowing, healthy complexion they’ve always dreamed of. More recently, Skoah also launched haircare products – all made with the same philosophy of simplicity and absolute customization to best fit every hair type and goal.
But Skoah is more than just skincare – it’s a community of passionate experts and customers across the country. “I believe we learn more from our losses or challenging times than our victories,” Chris says, smiling. “The most recent big challenge that comes to mind is the experience of managing our facial shop business through COVID. I think it was an experience that really challenged leadership in unexpected ways.”
As Skoah continues to grow and evolve, its commitment to excellence remains unwavering. With a focus on clean beauty, personalized solutions, and positive experiences, Skoah is poised to lead the way in redefining the skincare industry for years to come – one of the many reasons the Hotel Victoria is thrilled to have them as our in-house bath and body products provider.
