Katie's interest in skincare began at the very start of the 1970s, when after a first career in the aviation sector, working on the Concorde project, Katie embarked on a two year programme focused on the use of plant materials and fermentation techniques in the food sector. As she came to understand the techniques that could release valuable amino acids from plant proteins, Katie realised that here was a technology that could be incorporated into skincare products, to nourish the young skin cells with the very building blocks of all protein. An interest in essential oils and herbs and their production in organic farming systems followed, and from this fusion the Yin Yang range of products was created.

Based at Beechgrove Herb Garden on the Oxfordshire Gloustershire borders, Katie continues to research the science of botanical actives in the care of the skin. If you have queries about caring for your skin or questions about Yin Yang products, Katie would be happy to hear from you: email her at katie.may@yinyangskincare.co.uk

Monica found Yin Yang Skincare in 1977 and joined the company in 1979 in order to advise women throughout the UK about the importance and benefits of practising good skin care. Whilst working with Yin Yang, Monica undertook an ITEC course in Massage Therapy and a Nutrition Course. Monica returned to full time nursing in 1987, practising largely in the USA before returning to the UK in 2006, shortly after which she began supporting Yin Yang once again.

Since finding Yin Yang Skincare in 1977, Monica has only used Yin Yang products on her skin, and has maintained a keen interest and frequent involvement in Yin Yang since that time.
