Safety & honesty

Questions, answered.

Honest answers to what women actually ask us. Tap a question.

Is it for me & does it work
Is Zamia for me?

If you're a Black or African woman — or anyone with a deep skin tone — yes. Zamia is built around how darker skin behaves, especially the dark marks left after breakouts.

Does this actually work?

Zamia gives you a simple, consistent routine grounded in real research and built for your skin. Skincare takes time — dark marks usually fade over 6–8 weeks of steady care, not overnight. She'll tell you honestly what to expect.

How is this different from Googling or other apps?

Generic advice is mostly tested on lighter skin. Zamia starts from yours, names the reasoning, only cites studies she's actually checked, and keeps you safe.

Safety & your skin
Will it lighten my skin?

Never. Zamia helps you work toward even tone and healthy skin — she will never lighten or bleach your skin, and she flags unsafe "brightening" products outright.

Can I use it if I'm pregnant?

Yes — just tell her. Zamia automatically removes ingredients that aren't pregnancy-safe and explains the swaps.

Is this medical advice?

No. Zamia is for skincare learning and care, not diagnosis or treatment. For anything painful, spreading, or worrying, please see a professional.

Money & products
Do I need to buy expensive products?

No. Zamia works with what's available and affordable where you live, and explains the active ingredient so you can choose. Often the cheaper option is just as good.

Privacy & the beta

Why is it a "beta"?

This is an early, closed test with Shifrah and a small group she trusts. Some things will be rough — use the Feedback link to tell us, and we'll fix it fast. Please keep it between us for now.
