Known for its restorative properties, it leaves skin supple, and has been traditionally used in Africa to help conditions such as extreme dryness, eczema, cuts, burns, blemishes, wrinkles, skin rashes, rough skin and much more. With natural sunscreen properties, it suits all skin types, and the whole family.

Chinwe became seriously interested in traditional skincare making while taking an Agricultural Degree specialising in Crop Science.
