The Only Skincare Brand Recommended by Oncologists During Chemo & Radiotherapy — Why VIXIN Is Earning Trust Where Big Pharma Fails

This Is Why I Created VIXIN
From Charmaine, Founder of VIXIN Beauty

Yesterday, something happened that stopped me in my tracks.

A woman walked into our world after being told by her oncology team at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, one of the most respected cancer hospitals in Australia that she could no longer use the big-name skincare she’d been relying on. Her skin, already vulnerable from treatment, couldn’t handle the chemical load. But her oncologist gave her a direct recommendation:

“Use VIXIN. It’s the only skincare I’d recommend during chemotherapy and radiotherapy.”

That moment… it shook me.

Because that’s why I started VIXIN. That’s what all the years of work, formulating, testing, pushing against the grain of big beauty — this is what it was for.

I knew I wasn’t building just another skincare brand. I was creating something real. Something that worked and was safe. Something that didn’t cut corners or pump your skin full of harsh actives or cheap fillers. I wanted every jar and every pump to feel like radical self-care. Not a gimmick. Not another pretty jar of marketing fluff. But actual, skin-loving care, backed by nature, designed for real people, and made here, in Australia, with standards I would never compromise.

To now hear that VIXIN is being recommended during one of the most brutal journeys a human body can go through, cancer treatment, is beyond humbling. It’s everything.

Because skincare isn’t just about vanity. Not for us. Not for me.
It’s about dignity.
It’s about reclaiming a sense of self in the middle of chaos.
It’s about looking in the mirror and still seeing you, even when everything else feels like it’s falling apart.

If VIXIN can be a part of that healing, if it can help one person feel held, strong, beautiful, still themselves then I’ve done my job.

To anyone going through treatment right now: I see you. I honour you. And I am so damn proud that VIXIN is in your corner.

With all my heart,
