Keeping with long held traditions, indigenous women still turn to the African wild for all their skincare needs. Our Journey for beautiful skin begins in Malawi where growing Fair Trade sugar provides clean water and education for farmers’ children. Evaporated cane juice contains glycolic acid which breaks down dead skin. We whip this naturally grown sugar into an emollient cream made from skin loving, certified organic East African shea butter. This rare butter, also known as nilotica, is sourced from a cooperative of women who live in war torn Uganda. Many of them have escaped enslavement by the rebel army. Their shea butter project has allowed them to buy homes and begin their own micro-businesses. We next travel further north to Somaliland where local women collect leaves known locally as qasil. This traditional treatment adds skin softening and conditioning properties to our luxury scrub.
Refreshing aromas fill the air, mint tea and cooling cardamom. So is a typical square in Morocco. Cool yourself and uplift your spirits. Do away with winter doldrum with this inspirational bath treat.
