Meet Our Founder
Founder and Chief Cosmetic Chemist, Jacine Greenwood
Jacine is more than just the visionary behind Roccoco Botanicals—she is an award-winning cosmetic chemist, skincare expert, and educator, dedicated to transforming the way we approach acne and sensitive skin.
Her passion for skincare was ignited by her own struggle with cystic acne, which began at the age of 14. Despite countless visits to doctors and dermatologists, she found no lasting relief. Frustrated by the lack of effective solutions, Jacine immersed herself in postgraduate studies and cosmetic chemistry, uncovering a shocking truth: even products marketed to acne sufferers were not formulated to truly support acne-prone skin.
Her drive to create change only intensified when her own children faced serious skin challenges—her son battling eczema and dermatitis from infancy, and her daughter suffering from cystic acne at 22. Seeing their struggles, Jacine knew she had no choice but to develop a skincare brand specifically designed for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
Passion, innovation and relentless pursuit of perfection
Originally trained as a beauty therapist, Jacine took the initiative to self-teach cosmetic chemistry before formally earning her qualifications. Now a member of the Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists for over eight years, she has become one of the most innovative minds in the skincare industry. Her groundbreaking formulations have earned global recognition, winning prestigious innovation awards two years in a row and making her a three-time finalistfor international accolades.
In 2011, Roccoco Botanicals was born, with the business officially taking flight in 2013. Today, Jacine is internationally recognized for her expertise, leading Roccoco Botanicals to the forefront of the skincare industry. With over two decades of experience as a beauty therapist and cosmetic chemist, her deep understanding of cosmetic formulation continues to fuel her mission: to create effective, science-driven, and skin-loving solutions for those who have been failed by conventional skincare.
