From Flight Attendant to Skincare Entrepreneur: Nana's Journey with Alpha Soap

Updated: May 14



In a remarkable entrepreneurial journey, Nana, a former flight attendant in her twenties, has successfully ventured into the world of business with Alpha Soap, a unique artisan soap brand from Hong Kong. After making a name for herself with her popular Q-version figurines business, Nana set her sights on a new entrepreneurial endeavor—bringing Hong Kong's local attractions and culinary delights into handmade soaps, bringing in innovative souvenirs ideas.

 

Inspired by the mesmerizing beauty and cultural richness of Hong Kong, Alpha Soap captures the essence of the city through meticulously designed and handcrafted skincare products. Each soap bar reflects iconic landmarks, such as Victoria Harbour at dusk, or the vibrant Central waterfront Ferris wheel, making them perfect idea for innovative souvenirs. Nana's creativity knows no bounds, as she draws inspiration even from Hong Kong's beloved drinks like red bean ice and iced lemon tea. Every artisan soap is a labor of love, personally designed and carefully crafted by Nana, ensuring a perfect blend of aesthetics and efficacy.

 

To ensure the highest quality, Nana collaborates with a dedicated studio for production, meticulously overseeing every step, from formulation and molding to printing. Each batch of newly designed soap takes a month to be ready for sale. Alpha Soap offers natural handcrafted skincare products, places great emphasis on post-use skincare benefits, incorporating natural moisturizing ingredients to eliminate the dryness associated with traditional soaps. 

 

Nana's decision to expand her business beyond figurines was driven by her desire to create "beautiful and useful" items that capture the essence of life. Alpha Soap allows her to condense life's precious moments into artistic yet practical skincare products. Unlike custom-made figurines that took months of communication and meticulous adjustments, Alpha Soap offers a shorter production time, making it more accessible to a wider audience.

 

With Alpha Soap already making its mark in Hong Kong, Nana's ambition to bring her artisan soaps to Singapore has been realized. Supported by the BUD Fund, she secured the necessary capital to establish a presence in Singapore. Recognizing the demand for distinctive and innovative souvenirs in the tourism industry, Nana aims to fill the void by offering visitors a piece of Hong Kong's cultural charm through Alpha Soap.


As Nana continues to explore new opportunities and expand her distribution channels, her dedication to capturing the essence of both Hong Kong and Singapore in her handcrafted skincare products remains unwavering. With Alpha Soap, she is not only creating a successful business but also spreading the beauty and uniqueness of her homeland to the world, one soap bar at a time.
