A Personal Journey

Vanessa Yan, Founder

Vanessa Yan

Founder, Sukina Apothecary

Yale-trained Scientist

I grew up being sick often. I was always prescribed something—antibiotics, supplements, quick fixes—but nothing ever felt like it addressed why my body was struggling in the first place.

As someone trained in science at Yale, I was taught to question, test, and look for root causes—not just temporary relief. When I encountered Traditional Chinese Medicine, I approached it the same way.

Ingredients from the
Imperial Pharmacopoeia

Each botanical is selected for its proven efficacy in both traditional texts and modern clinical studies. These are the same ingredients used by Chinese empresses to maintain their legendary beauty.
