Karishma Vijay, a 28-year-old entrepreneur and finalist on The Apprentice, is seeking a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar to scale her organic skincare brand, KishKin. The brand, launched in 2024, was born from Vijay's own five-year battle with severe acne, which she documented on TikTok and Instagram.
KishKin's hero product, 'Rosehip to the Rescue', is a 100% cold-pressed rosehip seed oil priced at £34.99 for 50ml. The oil is designed to hydrate, soothe, and support acne-prone skin. Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A and C, it aims to improve scarring, pigmentation, and fine lines while calming inflammation and balancing oil production.
The lightweight, fast-absorbing oil is suitable for sensitive skin and can be applied alone or with a moisturiser. KishKin also offers caffeine-based treatments and plans to launch an aloe vera product soon. The brand focuses on organic formulations to repair the skin barrier and boost confidence.
Vijay, who won twice as project manager during the series, will face fellow finalist Pascha Myhill, 22, who seeks investment for a healthcare recruitment business. The winner will be crowned tonight on The Apprentice.
