I'm so sorry that you had to go through this and that they are refusing to remove your name and story from the website. I can't imagine how frustrating that is for you!
I emailed the companylast month asking if you still are involved with the company and they said its "Manufactured under Kenna's direction" which I found very vague and misleading.
i’m glad you made this. i had no idea you’d sold altilis, or that you were going through this mess. i enjoyed altilis for the two rounds of product i’ve used, but the fact that it was your company is what had me sold on it, and without your good name and ethics behind it, i think i’ll find something else. it sounds like this whole situation is causing you some trouble and i wish you the best in getting it all sorted out. 💙
I just received an order and planned on continue using the line. Since the line is no longer be run by you, this will be my last order. Be proud that you are staying true to yourself and in turn to us.
Oof, Kenna you are so young and smart, and this whole thing is such a learning experience for yourself as well as all your viewers who might also want to be entrepreneurs themselves. The next skincare line you create will be such a treasure and you'll know just what to do and not do when scaling up. Thank you for sharing this story and I can only imagine how frustrating this was to go through! Stay strong!
it kind of reminds of what Kathleen lights went through with her first nail polish line and how they started created nail polish without Kathleen approval and using her name and face.
Oh shut I forgot about that! That really pissed me off when I watched her video! But hey at least she same back and has her own brand now and if better than ever!❤️
I didn't really see it tbh until she got pregnant and her face has rounded out as Shailene has a slightly rounder face. Now it's very similar. It's so weird how much of a woman's body changes when pregnant. I always thought when I was younger that it was because people put on "baby weight" but in fact that is only a small part of the changes. Who knew that someone's face needed to change to give birth lol!
I would love to see a video of ethical and sustainably sourced skincare brands that you trust. I’m a beginner at looking for environmentally friendly skincare and would love to learn more. Love your vids 💕
Thank you for your update Kenna! We totally understand your reason for leaving the parent company! It's sad to hear that they're still using your name and face for the skincare line when you aren't a part of it anymore. I hope you will start a new skincare line in the future! ❤❤❤
It all sounds frustrating and unfair. Business can be cruel, and I imagine it feels even worse when its tied to a project or product you believed in and wanted to thrive. Good on you for maintaining transparency and I believe everything will turn out for the best. 💕
Even though idk what happened, I feel like I “know” you and I’m sure all you did was from an ethical perspective. I know you’re a super smart person and you have your heart in the right place. You’ll build a new and even better brand and I’m sure you will succeed in whatever you do. 💜
Appreciate the update. I had been wondering about how you hadn’t mentioned the products in some time. Interesting because I remember around May was when the cleanser shipped with an off consistency. I like hearing behind the scenes details. I was just going to reorder and now I’m torn.
That’s so messed up they can just continue to use your face after everything. Sorry to hear all of this Kenna!☹️ I can tell how passionate you are about bread fruit and the sustainability of it. I hope one day we can see more skincare from you. 🙏🏻 I trust your opinion and expertise!
This must be so tough. I really appreciate your content Kenna ! It really changed my relationship with skincare / self-care / acne. Thank you for your work and i wish that everything will be okay for you in your professional life.
I JUST left you a comment on one of your last videos mentioning that I’d just come across your skincare line, and was going to be supporting. Thank you for your clarification.
I am so sorry this happened to you, I was looking forward to your line when you had made that video last year. I hope things get better. I'll be waiting patiently until you decide to make a new skincare line ☺️
Oh Kenna! I had ordered your skincare a while ago before the packaging change and I loved it! I hadn’t reordered, and I’m so sorry you’re going through this! You’re a smart woman, and you are doing a great job!
I think you might be able sue them for “defamation of character,” but I don’t know much about law so I cannot confirm if this is the case. However, in my opinion I think you should consult an attorney about your legal options.
Ashna Nair As she stated, the company that is using her name sells psychedelic substances such as mushrooms. Associating her name with that type of company, at least in my opinion, is harmful to Kenna’s reputation. Again, I am not an expert on law so I may be incorrect.
In the US (this may be different for Canada) you can only win a suit for defamation if you can prove that actual monetary damage occurred because of the defamatory act. Kenna would have to prove monetary losses caused by the company using her image, which hasn't happened (she sold the company and has no expectation of earning money from it in the future). Or she would have to prove that they have in some way permanently impaired her ability to make money in the future, which they haven't (she is still free to start a new company and her 218k followers here suggest people still trust her enough to buy her products in the future). Its commonly misunderstood, people think you can win a suit because someone made you look bad or misrepresented you but in fact you can only win if there are provable monetary damages. Because of freedom of speech in the US, you can say wtf you want and that in of itself is not a crime or a tort. Its only when your words cause monetary damages provable in court that you're in trouble. For example, I can say on national news a million times that Oprah assaulted me, but until Oprah can prove that my words actually cost her money there's nothing a court can do about it.
So sorry to hear about this! But, knowing you've had so much passion ans success in the past with things you put your mind to, I'm sure we'll see more great work from you in the future. You've accomplished so much already at such a young age and that is definitely something to be proud of!
Dang, I hate to hear this :( you seem to have an incredible head on your shoulders and that is inspiring! I have no doubt you will blossom a new company in the future to continue your sustainable skincare journey!
Aw I can hear your voice shaking I really feel for you and no matter what your such an inspiration to me you are so young and appear to have everything really together and you have achieved so much success
Companies in this industry are prone to taking advantage of smaller companies and also the ambition of those who have no prior experience in the industry. I want to go a similar direction myself and I’m glad you are open about this. Makes me more careful in my decisions. I think you are much smarter than me , and if they will do you like this they deff could do me the same way. All the best
Thank you for sharing. I applaud your transparency and your courage to stand by your values. Life doesn't always go the way we planned, but often it leads us into even more amazing and beautiful journeys than we originally imagined. :)
I did purchase the products when you announced it and really enjoyed it but when you left I didn’t reorder. Thank you for clarifying anyway. You look beautiful and radiant
Kenna, I can't begin to imagine how frustrating some of this must be for you. At the same time, you are such an awesome person and I'm excited to see what you do in your next ventures! I know that myself and many others will be here to support you for you and what you represent! Thank you for your commitment to sustainability and transparency; it's truly one of the most important things that we can do as scientists, and you deserve the utmost respect because of it. The future is bright :)
I hope you’re okay Kenna! I can only imagine this is a very difficult thing to deal with. I’m sure that many others agree, but I appreciate your transparency. I subscribed to you because I trust your knowledge and insight, and I look forward to what you have in store in the future!
Hey Kenna. Altilis Beauty was the first ever skincare line that actually worked for my skin. But after hearing your statement, I’m no longer keen on buying these products. I would be eternally grateful if you could make a video on other skincare lines that can be good alternatives for us who now want to switch from Altilis 🙏🏼
I really appreciate a creator that informs others. Thank you for doing your best. I can see how that's more bitter than sweet. I hope one day in the future you can be a bigger part of the breadfruit industry.
i just hope that they continued what you started and not change a thing especially when it comes to how they obtain their resources, just as respect to you, the founder. anyway we’re happy to see you happy and stories like these acknowledges more humble scientists that chose passion over money ❤️
All I know is that you have such a bright and incredible future ahead of you. I’m sorry that this happened. What a heart breaking thing to happen to you ❤️ thank you for speaking up and letting us know what happened.
I am glad you made this video and am really sorry about with situation. I hope you’ll come up with a new skincare line / company in the future, your personality, knowledge and ethics really sold me to altilis beauty. But overall I just wish you happiness and growth whatever career path you choose!
I'm so sorry all this happened to you. And makes me all the more happy for you that you're having a baby. I can tell that you're going to be a wonderful mother!
What a difficult situation. I'm so sorry that things took such an unpleasant turn. The thing that made Altilis Beauty unique and special was you. You are the mind and heart of whatever endeavor you choose to pursue. You bring the successes that you have earned with you, and your journey is only beginning. There will be many wonderful and magical adventures in the future. There will be new discoveries and new projects in which to invest your talent...and we, your loyal fans, will be with you all the way.
I got it when you were in it around November early December. I haven't gotten it since and kinda glad. I hope you keep recommending products you like to use
I’m so sorry. You seem so genuine. Unfortunately, this just happens. It’s happened to me, too. Just a helpless feeling! You will prevail! I have so much confidence in you! You go girl!
I’m glad you made this video. I was just telling my mom about your product and the breadfruit idea, nd we were so bummed we couldn’t order it from the US. I’ll be keeping an eye out for your next products :) can’t wait to see if you show us your (undoubtedly) adorable baby 🤓
I liked the moisturizer, but I trust YOU & your ethics. I will definitely be there if you ever decide to create a skincare line that you truly believe in again. :)
Hello Kenna! I love these types of videos where you share your experiences both school and business. I’m an aspiring biologists and truly appreciate your information. 🙂
That's so frustrating, I'm shocked that companies can legally use someone's name and face who's no longer associated with them but I guess it depends on the contract? Thank you for sharing, it's a good learning experience for yourself and for all us viewers xx
Aww Kenna, I'm so sorry about Altilis and the way things went. It must be frustrating. I'm sorry they continue to use your image....that's certainly disturbing. Wishing you best of luck with baby and future ventures.
It so hard to trust bigger companies. Especially with your baby (products you develop). That's really crappy. I hope you get a chance to develop a new line and have it be a good experience. (If that's what you want.) Glad you're able to keep working in a field you enjoy. Hope you and baby are well. ❤️
Sees this video released the day she receives her Altilis products... I hope they are still honoring your best practices. Looking forward to what you do next!
I am glad you made this video, ...so sorry to hear that happened to you. It's deplorable that they continue to use your face, but I am glad you seem to be doing more than well on your own no thanks to them.
Can you expand on why the company transitioning into the psilocybin space is problematic? Is that just a personal opinion? (I personally don't view that as a negative on you, your old brand, or anyone associated with you/the brand..)
Yeah this would be helpful, I don't know enough about that space either to have any formed opinion on it. I'd be really curious to know the cons too, and what the company perceives to be the pros.
I’m curious too as recently it’s come out that Psilocybin are an effective treatment for PTSD and treatment resistant depression and there’s been a big investment into studies to further explore this.
A lot of the work in the psychedelic space with hosting retreats in international countries is not regulated. Often times the people running the retreats have no qualifications and there are no medical staff to help should any problems arise from a physical or psychiatric perspective. I also know here in Canada a lot of respected organizations (such as our major counselling associations and universities) do not support that type of work and since Kenna clearly has a relationship with such industries it's important for her to distance herself to maintain her professional relationship. Not saying ANY of that is true by the way, I'm just making assumptions on what I do know about the industry :) I think she is doing the right thing.
The retreats are likely recreational and not actually a medical care event. Them hosting events like that can hinder scientific research because of the inevitable problems that will arise from giving powerful hallucinogenic drugs to people with no oversight or understanding of the potential issues. The research into this and other things that are not used for medicine at this time is fragile due to the controversial nature of the substance and the misinformation that uninformed people are spreading. No scientists would want to be associated with such unprofessional conduct and they may even be held responsible for anything that goes wrong because of their education and duties to report things based on what they know and laws regarding their industry.
I'm sure it's a legit personal choice. Many people would not want to be associated with that scene, not forgetting there is also the social stigma surrounding the issue which can be very detrimental in terms of reputation and future opportunities.
The power of social media🤔🤔🤔 I’m here thinking maybe Kenna asked to be removed but they wont bc they are making money from her image. But we all know how we as the consumers can make change happened. What if we made ourselves heard we don’t support brands being so shady. Like there a video on front n center of their page were Kenna is claiming to be CEO and that’s not true no more.
This is such a common story when a brand is sold. I just looked at their site and can well understand your frustration- this is 2 months on from your video and they are clearly still capitalising on your name and face, .
Ugh, just 3 short years. That's a lot to deal with in such a short time in addition to having a child. There's something even more successful in the future for you Kenna.
Dang it, I just reordered a few days ago. I trusted the product because I trust you. Do you still use it from time to time? This has got to be hard on you, so sorry!
I grew up eating breadfruit and It's so interesting that you were able to make products with it. Sucks that happened to you. Good luck in your next venture
Wow Kenna I’m so sorry. I’m really disappointed in the parent company but I can’t say I’m surprised. I really do hope you get to create another company and that things flow the right way. You deserve that.
Yes I was wondering... But didn't know if it would be rude to ask y'know? Ugh yeah that's a hard pass on a "Psychedelic Experience". I'm not cool with them using your beautiful face 🤦♀️ can't imagine how that makes you feel. Well Beautiful Science Babe, You definitely have a bright future 💖. I'm a mama myself, it's an amazing experience. *Congratulations* XOXO
I would have only bought from Altilis because of you Kenna! The company you sold to sounds shady. They are using your face and name because they know that you are trusted and loved. I hope you find resolution to this, and when the day comes that you create a new skincare line we’ll be waiting!
I'm so sorry that you had to go through this and that they are refusing to remove your name and story from the website. I can't imagine how frustrating that is for you!
I realize it's kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online ?
@Joseph Zayd Try Flixzone. Just google for it =)
I hate that they’re using your face and name! I can’t imagine how frustrated you are!
True but... that's the business. Always know your rights before signing on the dotted line.
I bought the stuff 2 months ago just before she made this video TAT
I emailed the companylast month asking if you still are involved with the company and they said its "Manufactured under Kenna's direction" which I found very vague and misleading.
That sound really fishy..
That just sounds like an outright lie. Her directing is no longer involved at all.
Unbelievable that under "our values" on the website they put transparency and a Jenna's photo!!! :O
I dont typically like to encourage people to negative "review bomb" but. That is unethical and gross.
i’m glad you made this. i had no idea you’d sold altilis, or that you were going through this mess. i enjoyed altilis for the two rounds of product i’ve used, but the fact that it was your company is what had me sold on it, and without your good name and ethics behind it, i think i’ll find something else. it sounds like this whole situation is causing you some trouble and i wish you the best in getting it all sorted out. 💙
Same Same
I just received an order and planned on continue using the line. Since the line is no longer be run by you, this will be my last order. Be proud that you are staying true to yourself and in turn to us.
That's how I feel I really loved the products
I really like it too.
it's unfortunate the company was sold and maybe a few months before it could have taken off.
the face wash is outstanding.
Oof, Kenna you are so young and smart, and this whole thing is such a learning experience for yourself as well as all your viewers who might also want to be entrepreneurs themselves. The next skincare line you create will be such a treasure and you'll know just what to do and not do when scaling up. Thank you for sharing this story and I can only imagine how frustrating this was to go through! Stay strong!
Virginia shailene definitely...and a little bit of Dakota Johnson too
Yep she is young enough that she has an even brighter future. Lots of greatness in front of her.
You are so wellspoken!! Also, very interesting video, I had no idea you had your own company. I admire you!
She’s a scientist. Of course she is.
Can you put something in your Instagram bio or something? If people click to you from Altilis they can see right away you're no longer connected?
it kind of reminds of what Kathleen lights went through with her first nail polish line and how they started created nail polish without Kathleen approval and using her name and face.
Oh shut I forgot about that! That really pissed me off when I watched her video! But hey at least she same back and has her own brand now and if better than ever!❤️
Does anybody else think she looks just like Shailene Woodley?
yesss, i have to remind myself she is not a famous actress lol
I didn't really see it tbh until she got pregnant and her face has rounded out as Shailene has a slightly rounder face. Now it's very similar. It's so weird how much of a woman's body changes when pregnant. I always thought when I was younger that it was because people put on "baby weight" but in fact that is only a small part of the changes. Who knew that someone's face needed to change to give birth lol!
For some reason I see a little bit of Laura Prepon.
I noticed that RIGHT AWAY
We still love you! Thanks for the update and hope that it all works out for the best. How frustrating.
I would love to see a video of ethical and sustainably sourced skincare brands that you trust. I’m a beginner at looking for environmentally friendly skincare and would love to learn more. Love your vids 💕
Thank you for your update Kenna! We totally understand your reason for leaving the parent company!
It's sad to hear that they're still using your name and face for the skincare line when you aren't a part of it anymore. I hope you will start a new skincare line in the future! ❤❤❤
I am so sorry! I’m sure this is stressful, especially going through this while pregnant. 😞
I applied for a job as a bio chemist at Altilis right before the pandemic, and I have never been so happy that it didn’t work out.
I think small business owners often don't understand the downside of selling their company.
such a naive move
Why? Not saying it's not true, just genuinely interested as i don't know much about these things
It all sounds frustrating and unfair. Business can be cruel, and I imagine it feels even worse when its tied to a project or product you believed in and wanted to thrive. Good on you for maintaining transparency and I believe everything will turn out for the best. 💕
I was so excited to support you but thank you for making this video! I hope you continue making your own products and sell them in the future
Even though idk what happened, I feel like I “know” you and I’m sure all you did was from an ethical perspective. I know you’re a super smart person and you have your heart in the right place. You’ll build a new and even better brand and I’m sure you will succeed in whatever you do. 💜
Appreciate the update. I had been wondering about how you hadn’t mentioned the products in some time. Interesting because I remember around May was when the cleanser shipped with an off consistency. I like hearing behind the scenes details. I was just going to reorder and now I’m torn.
That’s so messed up they can just continue to use your face after everything. Sorry to hear all of this Kenna!☹️ I can tell how passionate you are about bread fruit and the sustainability of it. I hope one day we can see more skincare from you. 🙏🏻 I trust your opinion and expertise!
This must be so tough. I really appreciate your content Kenna ! It really changed my relationship with skincare / self-care / acne. Thank you for your work and i wish that everything will be okay for you in your professional life.
I JUST left you a comment on one of your last videos mentioning that I’d just come across your skincare line, and was going to be supporting. Thank you for your clarification.
there’s gotta be a way you can hire and attorney or lawyer because this sounds heartbreaking 😰🥺🥺 this is very unfair
Molly Hope To be fair she might not be able to talk about it because she is in a legal battle with them currently.
Maci Pullen ou true, id hope she’d win it
I am so sorry this happened to you, I was looking forward to your line when you had made that video last year. I hope things get better. I'll be waiting patiently until you decide to make a new skincare line ☺️
Thank you for the transparency!
Oh Kenna! I had ordered your skincare a while ago before the packaging change and I loved it! I hadn’t reordered, and I’m so sorry you’re going through this! You’re a smart woman, and you are doing a great job!
I think you might be able sue them for “defamation of character,” but I don’t know much about law so I cannot confirm if this is the case. However, in my opinion I think you should consult an attorney about your legal options.
Java how is that defamation? I don’t understand....

thank you so much for your hardwork! you're so hardworking, honest and transparent and i ONLY WISH good things to happen in your life.
THANK YOU for your honesty & transparency! Wishing only the BEST for you & your new family!🥰
So sorry to hear about this! But, knowing you've had so much passion ans success in the past with things you put your mind to, I'm sure we'll see more great work from you in the future. You've accomplished so much already at such a young age and that is definitely something to be proud of!
Will you start a new skincare line, as i would trust and feel good purchasing formulas created by you!
Dang, I hate to hear this :( you seem to have an incredible head on your shoulders and that is inspiring! I have no doubt you will blossom a new company in the future to continue your sustainable skincare journey!
Aw I can hear your voice shaking I really feel for you and no matter what your such an inspiration to me you are so young and appear to have everything really together and you have achieved so much success
I’m so sorry things turned out that way for you. You’re a smart and capable woman and I know you’ll come back bigger and better in the future 😊💖
Business can be ruthless! Jenna you've built up a good fan base, its hard but whenever or if ever you start a new line I'll be eager to see it.
I really liked the products but now I’m going to switch. I hope you can create again someday soon❤️
Companies in this industry are prone to taking advantage of smaller companies and also the ambition of those who have no prior experience in the industry. I want to go a similar direction myself and I’m glad you are open about this. Makes me more careful in my decisions.

Love you Kenna! Stay strong. You're going to come out on top in the end because of your hard work, dedication, and passion.
Hey Kenna.

I got it when you were in it around November early December. I haven't gotten it since and kinda glad. I hope you keep recommending products you like to use
I hope you make another skincare line
I’m so sorry. You seem so genuine. Unfortunately, this just happens. It’s happened to me, too. Just a helpless feeling! You will prevail! I have so much confidence in you! You go girl!
😳 I’m never this early ! I’m sorry that happened to you & your brand. I know the future holds something greater and bigger for you.
I’m looking forward to see what you’ll create in the future! ✨
I’m glad you made this video. I was just telling my mom about your product and the breadfruit idea, nd we were so bummed we couldn’t order it from the US. I’ll be keeping an eye out for your next products :) can’t wait to see if you show us your (undoubtedly) adorable baby 🤓

Just wanted to say congratulations on the new chapter of your life, you'll be a wonderful mother.
I hope your staying healthy and not getting too stressed. ♥️
Hello Kenna! I love these types of videos where you share your experiences both school and business. I’m an aspiring biologists and truly appreciate your information. 🙂
That's so frustrating, I'm shocked that companies can legally use someone's name and face who's no longer associated with them but I guess it depends on the contract? Thank you for sharing, it's a good learning experience for yourself and for all us viewers xx
Aww Kenna, I'm so sorry about Altilis and the way things went. It must be frustrating. I'm sorry they continue to use your image....that's certainly disturbing. Wishing you best of luck with baby and future ventures.
I commend you for staying true to yourself and standing your ground. I personally know that can sometimes be high price to pay for that
I'm so sorry that it all happened like that! stay strong
☹️ sad to hear. I bought the serum and moisturizer back in November.
I'm so sorry! I've been wanting to try Altilis Beauty because I trust you so much!! I can't believe that they still have you all over their website 🙄
It so hard to trust bigger companies. Especially with your baby (products you develop). That's really crappy. I hope you get a chance to develop a new line and have it be a good experience. (If that's what you want.) Glad you're able to keep working in a field you enjoy. Hope you and baby are well. ❤️
Sees this video released the day she receives her Altilis products...
I hope they are still honoring your best practices. Looking forward to what you do next!
So sorry this happened :( you deserve better!
I have so much respect for your integrity.
Hi Kenna, I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you can start another beauty company again.
I am glad you made this video, ...so sorry to hear that happened to you. It's deplorable that they continue to use your face, but I am glad you seem to be doing more than well on your own no thanks to them.

Often times the people running the retreats have no qualifications and there are no medical staff to help should any problems arise from a physical or psychiatric perspective. I also know here in Canada a lot of respected organizations (such as our major counselling associations and universities) do not support that type of work and since Kenna clearly has a relationship with such industries it's important for her to distance herself to maintain her professional relationship. Not saying ANY of that is true by the way, I'm just making assumptions on what I do know about the industry :) I think she is doing the right thing.
The retreats are likely recreational and not actually a medical care event. Them hosting events like that can hinder scientific research because of the inevitable problems that will arise from giving powerful hallucinogenic drugs to people with no oversight or understanding of the potential issues. The research into this and other things that are not used for medicine at this time is fragile due to the controversial nature of the substance and the misinformation that uninformed people are spreading. No scientists would want to be associated with such unprofessional conduct and they may even be held responsible for anything that goes wrong because of their education and duties to report things based on what they know and laws regarding their industry.
I'm sure it's a legit personal choice. Many people would not want to be associated with that scene, not forgetting there is also the social stigma surrounding the issue which can be very detrimental in terms of reputation and future opportunities.
The power of social media🤔🤔🤔 I’m here thinking maybe Kenna asked to be removed but they wont bc they are making money from her image. But we all know how we as the consumers can make change happened. What if we made ourselves heard we don’t support brands being so shady. Like there a video on front n center of their page were Kenna is claiming to be CEO and that’s not true no more.
I love your knowledge and skincare advice. I look forward to seeing what you create in the future!
P.S. I love your new intro.
This is such a common story when a brand is sold. I just looked at their site and can well understand your frustration- this is 2 months on from your video and they are clearly still capitalising on your name and face,
.
My products just arrived in the mail today :(... oh well. I will try them out anyways. Thank you for letting us know!
I hope you start a new lone one day, I really wanted to try Altilis but now I don't think I will.
Do you have a video speaking on why you are passionate about breadfruit?
Ugh, just 3 short years. That's a lot to deal with in such a short time in addition to having a child. There's something even more successful in the future for you Kenna.
i hope she makes another skincare line :( Altilis was so good
Dang it, I just reordered a few days ago. I trusted the product because I trust you. Do you still use it from time to time? This has got to be hard on you, so sorry!
Sorry that you’re going through this and I hope everything works out for you 🥺💖
I grew up eating breadfruit and It's so interesting that you were able to make products with it. Sucks that happened to you. Good luck in your next venture
You did the right thing making a statement! Wish you all the best
Wow Kenna I’m so sorry. I’m really disappointed in the parent company but I can’t say I’m surprised. I really do hope you get to create another company and that things flow the right way. You deserve that.
They thought they would get away with this?? So glad you made this video!
Im so sorry to hear this 😭
Very beautifully explained
Cute Awesome girl 🥳🥳😘😘
I feel the need to do something about this. This is not fair. Any ideas how we can help her?
Yes I was wondering... But didn't know if it would be rude to ask y'know?
Ugh yeah that's a hard pass on a "Psychedelic Experience". I'm not cool with them using your beautiful face 🤦♀️ can't imagine how that makes you feel.
Well Beautiful Science Babe, You definitely have a bright future 💖. I'm a mama myself, it's an amazing experience. *Congratulations* XOXO
I'm really sorry about what happened. That must be really heartbreaking.
Have you thought about working in liah yoo's company? Krave beauty seems like a perfect fit for you!
Goodness, I've never gotten so many ads in an eleven minute video
Weird ,I didn’t get one until the very end .
@@PinCushionQueen I think I got all your ads, by the time I was halfway through I had had four!
I would have only bought from Altilis because of you Kenna! The company you sold to sounds shady. They are using your face and name because they know that you are trusted and loved. I hope you find resolution to this, and when the day comes that you create a new skincare line we’ll be waiting!
I m glad to hear you lott of ideas, beautiful, I like you
That’s got to be so hard to see the change the company took. All the best to you Kenna!
Is that new skincare from inkylist behind you??? If yes please do review
Hi Kenna, I can see Time revolution by Missha in the background, what do u think about that product, do u like it ?
It took me so long to find a face product that I trusted. Need to star looking again.
