“We want to challenge the perception of African products as ‘second-rate’ to their global counterparts. We want to shun the one-dimensional, limited, stereotypical view of Africa and, rather, shine a light on the immense creativity and diversity of the continent.
Above all, I want to celebrate, and elevate, Africa’s magic”

What a difference this commitment makes to the clean and kind quality of our finished products.
Through the transparency of our sourcing, we hope to encourage other businesses to make the same decisions we did. With our support, it is our hope that African supply chains will grow in strength and become reliable sources of raw materials for both African and international buyers, while, at the heart of it, empowering and preserving the livelihoods of local communities, and protecting their culture, way of life, and their land.

“Rest has a PR problem!”
This week we listened to a podcast that we suspect might be exactly what you need, to indulge in (and prioritize) some much needed rest this weekend!
As @claudia_hammond_ explains to @drchatterjee, business, burning the midnight oil, and a never ending to-do list has become a badge of honour, with all of us thinking it proves our success and our importance.
But we’ve actually got it all wrong and we need to watch our words, rest daily, and make time for the things that bring us joy.

We need to face the facts about what stress does to our Skin, Sun Kids. Because our Skin feels our Emotions, too.

“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.”
What’s inside ÙMÛ ÕRÅ? We wanted to challenge the norm, break the pattern, and put in the time, effort and investment to create all value in-continent: valuing the farmers as well as the farming processes.
Each supplier has been vetted to meet our standards of sustainability and respect for both people and the planet.
It is our belief that if you want to buy an African ingredient, it should come directly from Africa, not by way of Europe, the USA or Asia.
Why you should not go into Winter without our Wonder Rub? Because there is nothing else like it.
