Zikel Cosmetics is a Nigerian beauty brand that is set to give all others in the same business a run for their money. The growing concern that's already shaking the beauty industry powerfully, has about '50 products' under their brand, and that's still growing too. In just under a few years of her existence, going to just 3 years to be more precise, it has extended her growing tentacles across Nigeria and even the West African sub-region via franchising and other marketing channels and its still growing steadily in leaps. Many who have used & are still using their various products, readily testifies to the reliability of the many products in the range.
A testament to how good their products are, is also in the level of their brand ambassadors, who have endorsed the brand in just 3 years of existence. They have had 3 brand ambassadors so far, and they are all very well known, quite stylish personalities in the entertainment industry, who all hold their own very well. There's Halima Abubakar, thr Kogi bombshell actress and producer, there's the awesomely beautiful Mercy MacJoe and then the most current and the biggest of them all so far, being the one and only Tonto Dikeh. Who was signed on, not too long ago with loads of fanfare, to a very 'lucrative contract', said to be one of the biggest in the country so far.
Zikel Cosmetics prides itself as an 'affordable luxury' range of beauty products made for the 'African woman of distinction', who wants to use beauty products that helps to bring out her best features, without having any adverse effect whatsoever on her skin. Their products, are clinically tested for the most delicate skins, so it's not just about selling alone, what the products help to achieve at the end is very important too. .
As part of the brand's ideology/philosophy to contribute her own quota to the society by been very 'socially responsible', it has organized its own unique type of beauty contest which it has called the "Face of Zikel international 2019" to empower young and beautiful ladies.

It has been fun galore at the camp as we speak, been the 1st day of camp, the gals had their accreditations done and were introduced to the products and then grilled on the rules of the camp and other things by their pageant manager who was assisted by the chaperones. After a quick change, they thereafter had a swell welcome party by the pool side of their camp venue. All were looking very hot🔥 & smashing in their swimsuits and bikinis.
