I’m Dr. Jeanne Retief — an international human rights expert turned beauty founder after being diagnosed with Panic Disorder. My life broke open in 2015, forcing me to confront trauma, anxiety, and the way high-achievers are expected to keep functioning while falling apart. I now speak candidly about anxiety recovery, the myth of “fixing yourself,” and how sensitivity can be a source of power. My skincare brand, FIGGI Beauty, was born from this breaking — a luxury, fragrance-free line created for sensitive souls like me, rooted in science and soul. Every product is vegan, cruelty-free, and made with calming South African rooibos. I was named Best Emerging Indie Brand 2025 and won Silver at the Universal Beauty Awards for our Miracle Mist — but what matters more is using my voice to remind others: you’re not broken. You’re sensitive — and that’s not the same thing.
