Dlamini officially launched her skincare range, MD by Minnie Dlamini, in 2019. The products, which included body lotion and soaps, were available at retail stores like Clicks, Checkers and Shoprite.
Minnie introduced MD to the world through her social media pages and supplied affordable skin care products. The products prices ranged from R13 to R40.
In 2021 the prices further dropped to at least R5, and now the products have disappeared from the shelves altogether.
The publication further reported that the 32-year-old’s company was almost deregistered in 2018 and 2020 for failure to submit annual tax returns.

“Things happen, you work with people…Doesn’t always end well. But yeah, it was a great learning curve for me and with everything that happens in life, I always say that it is a learning curve and an opportunity to learn how to do things better,” she explained.
Minnie continued, “That experience taught me what retail space looks like. Who are the people that make the most money. You know, we get so excited about owning equity and owning a brand, but that might not necessarily be where the money is.”
