Running a multi-million-dollar skincare company is no small feat, but adding new motherhood into the mix is a whole other ballgame. Brittany Rickard, CEO of Kota Skin Care, knows all about this. She shared her incredible journey with us and how she managed to juggle both her kids – her company and her newborn son.
Britney’s Instagram family has been following her journey since the beginning. He witnessed the creation of Kota Skin from shipping his first order to opening his first pop-up shop. They were a huge support system for her during her pregnancy. Her fiancé was also instrumental in keeping the house clean, taking care of her, bringing food for her and even booking massages to keep her relaxed.
Britney’s inspiration for Kota Skin Care came from her late brother, Chavez Ricard, who was particular about his skincare routine. Britney wanted to create a brand that honored her brother’s legacy and connected with customers in a way that other brands did not. She takes pride in serving her clients via DM, offering encouragement and advice on their skincare journey.
When it comes to maintaining her glowing look, Britney keeps it simple by drinking lots of water, eating plenty of vegetables, and using her 24K Gold Serum. But the real secret to her success lies in her determination to never go small in business like her late brother Chávez.
Brittany’s advice to other women who need help balancing pregnancy is to find what’s best for them and their families. She urges them to listen to their bodies, do what’s best for them and their baby, and know their rights as a mother.
Looking forward, Britney plans to continue growing her brand and empowering Black women in the beauty industry. She wants to take Kota Skin even further and reach a wider audience by launching more marketing campaigns and sharing more real life testimonials from satisfied customers. Brittany is committed to providing day-in, day-out results, helping those in need of skin healing, and building generational wealth within the Black community.

Britney’s journey as a new mother and CEO has been nothing short of inspiring. Her dedication to her company and her son is a testament to her strength, determination and resilience. We can’t wait to see what’s next for Kota Skin Care and will continue to cheer Britney on every step of the way!
