Faeeza Sacoor, the renowned Somatologist behind Sandton Beauty Clinic, has earned the trust of countless beauty enthusiasts through her expert care and dedication.
With over three decades of experience, she’s built a reputation that has seen her mentioned in Elle and Oprah magazines, praised as Gauteng’s ‘best brow and Brazilian waxer’, and even featured on Three Talk with Noeleen Maholwana Sangqu for her groundbreaking work on pigmentation.
Over the years, she’s also become the go-to skin expert for celebrities like Khanyi Mbau and Tarina Patel, to name a few, who swear by her touch.
But behind the glow, there’s also a little bit of shade — the skincare industry has long been divided over ‘glutathione’, with critics slamming it as overused, misunderstood, or even unsafe. Yet amid all of this, Faeeza is prepared to change the narrative.
Now, she’s introducing her latest innovation: Nanolite Glutathione Skin Brightening Drops, which promise antioxidant power, detoxification, and a radiant complexion in just three weeks.
In this exclusive interview with Africa Jamz FM News, Faeeza discusses debunking misconceptions, supporting the science behind her work, and explaining why radiant skin goes beyond mere appearance.
Challenging the myths around glutathione and skin brightening
Over the years, glutathione has often been criticised as unsafe or overhyped. Faeeza addresses these concerns by challenging the perception that skin brightening through glutathione is a dangerous shortcut, and instead presents it as part of a holistic wellness solution.
“Like many wellness ingredients, glutathione can develop a negative reputation when it is misused or abused. Unfortunately, the way some individuals — including celebrities and the general public — have approached “skin lightening” has contributed to this stigma.
“In reality, glutathione is not just about skin tone; it is a powerful nutritional supplement that supports the entire body, from detoxification to immune defense. When used responsibly and under proper guidance, it’s not a shortcut — it’s a wellness solution that enhances overall health, with brighter skin being one of the positive side effects,” said Faeeza.
Understanding the variability and effectiveness of glutathione treatments
Faeeza explains that taking just a few drops under the tongue can cleanse the body and refresh the skin within three weeks. She also discusses the scientific and clinical evidence backing this impressive transformation.
“Results vary depending on the individual, the formulation used, and the method of absorption. Sublingual drops, patches, or intravenous therapy tend to deliver faster results than capsules, which are metabolized through the liver.
“In practice, many of our patients notice improvements in skin clarity, hair growth, or stronger nails within weeks — though the degree of change differs from person to person. These results align with the known antioxidant and detoxifying properties of glutathione. While not every patient will see dramatic skin transformation, they will typically benefit in at least one area of health. If someone does not respond, it’s important to assess why and consider complementary treatments,” said Faeeza.
Why Nanolite Glutathione Skin Brightening Drops stand out in a crowded market
While many products promise ‘lighter’ or ‘brighter’ skin, Faeeza highlights what makes her Nanolite Glutathione Skin Brightening Drops unique compared to the vast array of creams, pills, and IV treatments available.
“We don’t compare ourselves to others — instead, we let our decades of experience and results speak for us. With over 30 years as a Somatologist, and having personally suffered skin damage from harsh treatments in the past, I was determined to create something safe and effective.
“Aura’ International products are manufactured locally in South Africa by a highly reputable, SABS-approved laboratory that also produces for some of the world’s most respected brands. Quality ingredients are at the core of everything we do.
“Beyond that, the proof is in the results — from before-and-after documentation, five-star Google reviews over the past 25 years, and growing demand from dermatologists, doctors, and surgeons who trust our brand after seeing what it does for their patients. Even a medical anthropologist specialising in cancer research has endorsed our work.
“It’s this blend of credibility, safety, quality, and proven results that sets us apart — and has earned us a loyal following for more than a decade,” said Faeeza.
Faeeza’s commitment to enhancing, not erasing, natural beauty
Some believe that skin brightening contributes to colorism and unrealistic beauty ideals. Faeeza shares her perspective on how she promotes a radiant complexion while also encouraging self-acceptance and embracing natural beauty.
“I always advocate self-love first: being comfortable in your own skin is the foundation of true beauty. When you are happy and confident, you radiate that “glow from within.”
“Unfortunately, the term glow was once misused as a marketing code word for skin lightening, which gave it a negative connotation. But for me, glow represents much more: the glow of pregnancy, the glow of happiness, or the natural radiance of healthy, hydrated skin.
“Aura International is committed to the latter. Through our Aura Skin Bars, we offer specialized treatments performed by highly trained technicians — always prioritising safety, knowledge, and skin health. When necessary, we involve medical professionals to ensure no harm is done.
“Instead of harsh bleaching, our philosophy is to rebuild and nurture the skin using ingredients like collagen, cocoa butter, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and glutathione. The goal is not to erase your natural beauty, but to enhance and protect it,” said Faeeza.
Faeeza on beauty as a reflection of holistic health
Beyond just enhancing appearance, Faeeza emphasises the antioxidant and detoxifying benefits of glutathione. She discusses whether these drops could shift our perception of beauty from focusing solely on looks to embracing overall holistic health.
“Absolutely. At 51 years old, I can confidently say that I advocate for skin health and overall body health — because they are inseparable. You are what you eat, and what you apply externally reflects from within.
“Skin issues often act as warning signs of deeper imbalances in lifestyle or health. Harsh bleaches, poor diet, or chronic stress all show up on the skin. Glutathione, by supporting detoxification and fighting oxidative stress, helps restore the body’s natural balance.
“So yes, the conversation around beauty is evolving — it’s no longer just about looking good, but about living well. Healthy skin is simply the mirror of a healthy body,” said Faeeza.
