My Story
Ilona Emanuelsson
Founder of SPArkling Femina
Welcome to SPArkling Femina
I am so excited to introduce myself to you. SPArkling Femina is all about learning and practicing how to care for and nurture your body and the skin you live in through products that come from nature.
As the founder of SPArkling Femina, I would like you to know about my background and what you can expect from me to come.
I have taken on many roles in my professional career, from skincare expert, educator, business owner, womanpreneur, and skincare/health food researcher - just to name a few. I come from three generations of food experts, as my grandmother was a chef and my mother is a food technologist. So, you can say that a passion to help others live a healthy lifestyle is something I was born with!
My desire for healthy living all started while growing up in Lithuania’s most famous seaside resort area of Palanga, known for its beaches and spas on the Baltic Coast. I moved to Vilnius to attend the College of the Arts. Then, I later moved to London to study at the Academy of Vidal Sassoon. While initially only planning to stay in London for one year, I ended up staying for 10 years and grew significantly while running Virain Spa.

While initially only planning to stay in London for one year, I ended up staying for 10 years and grew significantly while running Virain Spa.
During my time in London, I was working for some of the top A-list celebrities, tv presenters, and many famous businessmen and women. So, as you can see, I am quite familiar with serving a very high maintenance and VIP clientele. This experience allowed me to sharpen and strengthen my entrepreneurial skills, eye for detail, and desire for improvement amongst beauty care solutions.
I eventually relocated to Switzerland as an aesthetics expert, specifically in anti-aging and health. However, when I arrived in Switzerland, I was unable to find some of the top professional and home beauty products that were available in London. I knew I had to do something about this, which led to the birth of one of my businesses, Teaser Boutique.
Teaser Boutique, founded in 2011, is co-owned by three womanpreneurs, and is a beauty products supplier and the sole distributor of Lycon Cosmetics, MineTan, IBX Nails by Famous Names, and Emmanuel Levain creations. Teaser Boutique only works with body and skincare products that are known for their excellence and premier status in the beauty and skincare industry. Teaser Boutique is an environmentally conscious company.
As the face of SPArkling Femina, I bring my years of experience and wealth of knowledge in cutting-edge beauty, health, and wellness technologies as it relates to nature. As a skin expert and educator, who specializes in using undiluted potent organic ingredients such as succinic acid and Baltic amber oil-based serums for face and hair, I provide research, explain, and teach the benefits of these products and how they can transform anyone’s beauty and health regimen.
I am health food obsessed and I enjoy making detoxes and creating eBooks with vegan and raw recipes. I am also a research freak and I enjoy creating hydrosols from organic produce as part of the beauty and health routine, as well as in cooking.
