A young founder with a science-first beauty story.
In a world where caring for ourselves and the planet matters more than ever, Victor Kuzmanovsky's story brings clean beauty back to purpose. Victor lives in Ohrid, Macedonia, and says his interest in science and chemistry began when he was young. That early curiosity became the foundation for VVS Cosmetics, a beauty brand focused on day and night creams with natural, straightforward formulas.
The interview, led by Cristina Castillo, is less about hype and more about values: self-care, courage, community, responsible choices, and the belief that skincare should support both healthy-looking skin and stronger self-esteem.
The interview.
Since childhood, Victor says he has loved science and chemistry. When he began caring for his own skin, he connected that passion with his vegan and organic lifestyle.
His biggest challenge has been overcoming his own fears. He describes personal growth as ongoing work: learning from mistakes, staying present for himself, and continuing forward.
For Victor, giving back is a priority. He wants the brand to support loyal customers with gifts and also help people in need, animal shelters, orphanages, and other community efforts.
He wants customers to have clear, healthy-looking skin, feel good about themselves, appreciate nature, and embrace their own beauty.
The natural beauty of Ohrid is a constant source of inspiration. Victor says many ingredients are connected to nature, and he plans to create his own oils in the future.
Victor points to family, especially his mother, as a major mentor and supporter. He also credits friends who believe in his ideas and says faith in God gives him strength and direction.
His answer is simplicity. The goal is to make products effective without overcomplicating them, letting selected herbs and oils carry the work.
Because he is still beginning, the path has not been easy. Victor says passion and determination are what keep him developing the products.
He would be interested in acting, modeling, or business. The business side has always been part of his imagination.
Victor wants VVS Cosmetics to become a powerful project that supports people's skin, strengthens self-esteem, and brings positivity by embracing beauty in all forms.
Why this belongs in Wellness & Beauty.
VVS Cosmetics sits at the intersection of skincare, founder story, vegan-friendly beauty, sustainability, and confidence. For Perk Nation readers, the strongest angle is practical self-care with a human story behind the product.
Un fundador joven con una historia de belleza guiada por la ciencia.
En un mundo donde cuidar de nosotros mismos y del planeta se ha vuelto mas crucial que nunca, las historias de quienes se atreven a marcar la diferencia brillan con especial intensidad. Hoy presentamos a Victor Kuzmanovsky, un joven visionario de 24 años que vive en Ohrid, Macedonia.
Desde su niñez, Victor ha estado fascinado por la ciencia y la quimica. Lo que comenzo como una curiosidad infantil ha culminado en la creacion de su propia marca de cremas de dia y de noche, unicas por sus formulas innovadoras y naturales.
En esta entrevista, Cristina Castillo se sumerge en como Victor ha fusionado su amor por la quimica con un estilo de vida natural, vegano y organico, creando productos que buscan embellecer la piel, nutrir el espiritu y apoyar un futuro mas sostenible.
La entrevista.
Desde pequeño, siempre me ha encantado la ciencia y la quimica. Al comenzar a cuidar de mi piel, combine mi pasion por la ciencia con mi estilo de vida vegano y organico.
Mi mayor reto ha sido superar mis propios miedos. Aun sigo trabajando en mi crecimiento personal, aprendiendo de mis errores y siempre estando ahi para mi mismo.
Devolver a la comunidad es mi prioridad numero uno. Planeamos hacerlo a traves de regalos para nuestros clientes leales, donaciones a los necesitados, refugios para animales, orfanatos y otras buenas acciones.
Quiero que mis clientes tengan una piel clara y saludable, se sientan bien consigo mismos, aprecien la naturaleza y abracen su belleza.
La hermosa naturaleza de Ohrid es una fuente constante de inspiracion. Muchos de nuestros ingredientes provienen de la naturaleza, y planeamos crear nuestros propios aceites en el futuro.
Mis fuentes de inspiracion son muchas. Mi familia, especialmente mi madre, ha sido mi mayor mentora, siempre apoyandome y viendo mi potencial. Tambien me inspiran mis amigos, quienes creen en mis ideas. La leccion mas importante que he aprendido es que, con fe en Dios, todo es posible.
Nos enfocamos en la simplicidad, asegurandonos de que nuestros productos sean efectivos sin complicarlos demasiado. El poder esta en las hierbas y aceites que elegimos.
Como apenas estoy comenzando, el camino no ha sido facil, pero soy muy apasionado por esto y estoy determinado a seguir desarrollando mis productos.
Me encantaria explorar la actuacion, el modelaje o incluso los negocios. Siempre he tenido una pasion por el negocio.
Visualizo mi marca como un proyecto poderoso que ayude a las personas con su piel y aumente su autoestima. Quiero que se convierta en una fuente de positividad, abrazando la belleza en todas sus formas.
El cierre de Cristina.
La historia de Victor no solo trata de cuidado de la piel. Tambien habla de vencer miedos, elegir coraje y construir una marca con responsabilidad hacia las personas, los animales y el planeta.
Meet the people and brand.
