Fairly sourced from cooperatives
Our raw shea comes from women's cooperatives in the Northern Region of Ghana — Tamale, Bolgatanga, Wa. We pay above market rate, in cash, with no middlemen. The women who pound the nuts know our names.
Sustainability
Made slowly, sourced fairly
We don't believe in shouting about sustainability — we believe in quietly doing the work, the way our grandmothers did it: nothing wasted, everyone paid, everything traceable.
Ghanaian botanicals first
Hibiscus from the Volta Region. Black soap from Ada. Palm-kernel oil pressed in Kumasi. We source within Ghana wherever a Ghanaian ingredient exists — because the best version of African beauty already grows here.
Refill, return, reuse
Our jars are glass. Bring five empties to any Accra pop-up and the sixth refill is on us. We're trialling a returns-by-courier scheme nationwide in 2025.
1% to Ghanaian girls' education
One percent of every order funds school fees and sanitary supplies for girls in rural Ghana, in partnership with grassroots organisations we visit ourselves.
A quiet promise
"Sika nyinaa firi fam" — all wealth comes from the earth.
We try, every day, to give some of it back.
