They provide you with some of the best organic and natural products, sourcing their ingredients from the local farms in West Africa. Their containers are eco-friendly and totally re-usable too.
The raw ingredients used in African beauty formulations are clean and effective and derived from the rich African soil. We source most of these raw ingredients from the ‘shea belt’ which runs across the African Savannah, stretching from West to East Africa, and are unique to the continent.
Skincare has become a growing industry in Ghana and we can’t help but feel excited about it. People are investing in good skin choices and are trying so hard to take matters into their own hands.
Gone are the days where we used our bathing soaps and sponges or face towels to scrub our faces. We know how damaging that can be to the sensitive skin on our faces and how different soaps have different chemicals that may be the ones causing the rashes or acne we are experiencing.
Shea butter is a famous ingredient sourced only in its entirety within the African continent and found in nearly all beauty formulations.
In Africa, most of the product formulations are modern versions of ancient African skincare secrets our ancestors have used for centuries as the key to ageless skin.
We use all-natural plant-powered ingredients that are great for the skin and, because of the power of the ingredients most African beauty formulations feature one to five ingredients maximum.
