ABOUT


Pial Khadilla is the founder of Asia Essentials and expert trainer in natural skincare.

Europe trained and under the tutelage of Kolbjorn Borseth, a renowned complementary health and natural cosmetics expert in UK, Pial learnt the power and  health benefits of using natural ingredients and herbs especially in skincare. 

She started her business with selling Argan Oil and created a range of skincare products and sold it online as well as local markets in London. The response was overwhelming and she had lots of fun making the products from home.

Four years on, she decided that her passion is in teaching and want nothing more then to share her knowledge and experience in her home country and beyond.
