British Skincare brand
founded by Lydia and Liliane.
I grew up in Ghana,
West Africa and used shea butter as a child as a body moisturizer and hair pomade. At the time shea butter was considered a "local"product. And so not given much respect. This is a problem that exists in Ghana and Africa at large. The mentality is that the local produce is not good but products from abroad are better. When the time came to go to secondary school, I was given money to buy body moisturizer, I chose the foreign, well packaged cream with lots of chemicals and artificial fragrances.I rejected the natural God given shea butter for well packaged foreign body products. My skin became dryer than before and less moisturized.I came to the UK, had my children and continued using non natural products for their skin. At this time my skin was not healthy, it was dull and had lost its shine and beauty. My children's skin started to become sensitive due to the creams and they developed severe eczema. I remember taking my oldest son Michael to A and E because of his severe eczema and sensitive skin.This continued for a while till I met my friend Liliane who through conversation has also been experiencing eczema, dry skin and itchiness.
I have used non natural
creams on my body and that of my family. Over the years I have developed a sensitivity to chemicals and I react to mostproducts on the market. I often get rashes that comes and goes, leaving my skin dry and itchey. She suggested we try formulating natural products for our families. Natural African raw shea butter was our inspiration. We went back to our roots to Africa.(Sankofa). The naturally produced African shea butter, used for thousands of years. We both work in health care and know that our skin, being the largest organ in our bodies, absorbs all that we put on it so what we put on it should be just as important as what we eat. We experimented in our kitchen and came out with this formula for our creams using organic 100% natural shea butter from Ghana. The secret of our products is only using natural high grade authentic ingredients. This is the key to our products efficacyIt was wonderful when we made our first creams for ourselves and our families. Soon our children's skin improved and people could see the transformation. Not worried about sensitive skin any more That is why we want to share it with other people. Now you have the chance to share in our journey, our story.
