About Us
Lintons is a leading beauty brand in East Africa, founded in 2008 by Dr. Joyce Gikunda and Edward Gikunda. Lintons is on a mission to impact the lives of Africans through beauty. Currently, Lintons executes this mission through these 4 focus areas:
Lintons Beauty World, a multichannel retail business that has grown to 30 shops in Nairobi, Mombasa & Kampala offering top of the line skincare, color cosmetics, luxury fragrance, and day-spa experience. Through these shops, Lintons not only houses global brands such as Estee Lauder, Clinique, MAC, Clarins, Lancome, Chanel, Dior, but also offers a platform to upcoming local brands and manufacturers to reach a fast-growing consumer base. Customers are increasingly able to access Lintons’ wide range of products via digital channels such as Lintons ECP and Jumia.
Our Purpose
Lintons envisions a future where Africans are fully awakened to their inner beauty and use this to fearlessly transform the world around them. In this future, “Beauty” is not just a feel-good notion, but a high-impact highly-sought-after career pathway, a value chain uplifting many out of poverty and a catalyst stirring growth of local media, agribusiness, manufacturing & services.
Our Values
Lintons is motivated by 3 core values that are foundational to our culture, brand & business:
- Passion: we love what we do and put our customers’ needs first.
- Authenticity: we understand trust is earned by offering only legitimate, non-counterfeit products & services, over decades.
- Innovation: we continuously learn from our customers and partners, solving problems in new ways.
