Joni Rogers-Kante, founder of SeneGence, on the volcanic ash plain of Mount Yasur, Tanna, Vanuatu, summer 2000.

The SeneGence legend

It began at the foot of a volcano.

SeneGence is the high-performance skincare and cosmetics company Joni Rogers-Kante founded in 1999 with LipSense® Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color, our transfer-proof long-lasting liquid lipstick. She carried one question to Vanuatu: How does life flourish in conditions designed to destroy it?

Why SeneGence

Long-wear color, anti-aging skincare and easy routines work together as one day-and-night system you can make your own.

Night

Use the remover made for your long-wear formula and settle into evening care.

More thought inside the bottle

We formulate to the European Union cosmetic standard, which prohibits 1,700+ substances.

The Naked Bottle Philosophy leaves out the individual retail outer carton, keeps ingredients and directions on the container, and puts the money that would have gone into cardboard into the formula.

The SeneGence Green Initiative has a wider goal of reducing our carbon footprint.

A founder’s question. A lasting beauty story.

Joni Rogers-Kante founded SeneGence with LipSense in 1999, inspired by a wish for lip color that would stay with her day. The name joins senescence and intelligence: aging intelligently. In the summer of 2000 she traveled to Vanuatu; follow that story into the orchid research, Nangai Oil and volcanic ash that helped shape the catalogue.
