According to Asence, Zen Zest was created to provide consumers a line of locally made beauty products as inexpensive alternatives to the pricier foreign products. At the time, 'zen' was a popular word and everyone was using it. Asence added 'zest' to put color to the brand. Determined to make her mark in the industry, she quit her job as a merchandiser for a top local clothing brand in 2001, hired herself a chemist, and singlehandedly created the first line of Zen Zest products, which included lotions, body scrubs, fragrances and bars of soap.
With a working capital of PhP 350,000 given by her mom, Asence opened her first stall in Megamall. In less than five years, she managed to parlay this into a thriving enterprise that made her a millionaire at the age of 23. To date Zen Zest has already opened 40 kiosks and sells an extensive line of beauty and body care products, covering from head to foot. These products are reasonably priced from PhP 65 to PhP 250.
