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. However, a move to France put her business ideas on the back burner, while she took another Degree in French Language Literature, and a Masters in Business Administration.

She pays a fair price for the raw product - processed largely by women in Africa.

From a magical childhood experience grew the expanding business Chinwe and her team run today, offering a balm for people who care about poverty, their body, and what they use on it.
