When we talk about the future of cancer care, a wholistic and multidisciplinary approach brings the best wellness and recovery.
Local skincare brand Skin Care for Hope emphasizes the importance of self-care in bringing hope to our Filipino cancer patients through offering gentle, moisturizing, and mindfully created skin products that are paraben-free, sulfate free, and specially formulated with natural ingredients.
Inspired by her book, “Staying Beautiful and Hopeful”, which shares the truths of self-care through skincare, board-certified dermatologist and book author Dr. Claire Marie Reyes-Habito founded Skin Care for Hope, which aims to bring hope and healing for those with compromised skin brought about by skin sensitivities or from medications such as chemotherapy and radiation.
Skin Care for Hope joins Healthway Cancer Center during the Wellness community event at Bonifacio High Street.
A strong collaboration: Skin Care for Hope and Healthway Cancer Care Hospital
“Skin Care for Hope partners with Healthway Cancer Care Hospital in its Oncodermatology Program packages which includes dermatology consultation and chemo and radiation skin care starter bundles. We encourage use of gentle, mild, moisturizing, and paraben-free skin products to help improve the skin barrier and bring better quality of life for those undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.” said Dr. Claire Habito, Skin Care for Hope President & CEO.
Skin Care for Hope’s most popular product, the Skin Relief and Moisturizing Cream is formulated with the unique blend of nata de coco, calendula, and buah merah, that helps calm and soothe dry and irritated skin. The Radcare Moisturizing Cream is a similar blend of nata de coco, calendula, and buah merah with additional olive oil that help in radiation therapy skin care.
The skincare brand also crafted skin care bundles that are purposely made to give Filipino cancer patients more opportunities to make better choices when it comes to skin care. The radiation therapy bundle helps address special needs of cleansing and moisturizing while calming the irradiated skin with calendula. The chemotherapy bundle helps address the need to gently cleanse and moisturize the scalp, skin and nails.
Skin Care for Hope believes in the well-being of the skin and soul. As part of Skin Care for Hope’s advocacy for cancer patients, the said local brand is inviting every Filipino to become part of their skin care community Skin Care for Hope Advocates that aims to educate, inspire, and empower one another in practicing self-care with a gentle skin care routine.

“Education on good skin care and self-care habits is one of the things that we want to emphasize and share in the local skincare community. It’s not enough to just have skin products, it’s important to know what, when, and how to apply them for better skin care. The Oncodermatology Masterclass, co-sponsored with Healthway Cancer Care Hospital, was one of our thrusts to help educate nurses and doctors to better care for cancer patient’s skin side effects. In the next months we look forward to continue to give education ads and videos in our Facebook page for our cancer patients. It is through this that we can bring hope and healing to many.”, Dr. Habito added.
Skin Care for Hope will continue to encourage not only its customers but also the local skincare industry to adopt environment-friendly practices and use products with ingredients that are natural and free from chemicals that potentially can harm.
