Our Brands

Ose dayeba - african black soap

Ọṣẹ dáyébá black soap

Black soap is owed to a time-honoured recipe passed down from the dawn of our heritage, hence the name Ọṣẹ dáyébá — ọṣẹ tí a d’áyé bá (“soap met unto us since humanity’s birth”) from the Yorùbá language. Ọṣẹ dáyébá products are crafted with minimalism in mind: our soaps aim simply to exfoliate and cleanse, remaining unscented and otherwise unembellished.

Ori re - premium shea butter

Òrí re... shea butter

All Òrí re products are borne of pure, unrefined shea butter. 'Unrefined' refers to shea butter in its most natural state, having seen no processing or treatment in its formation as a product. Traditional, manual extraction methods ensure that none of the shea butter's nutritional wealth is compromised, retaining the whole of its vitamins, minerals and similar natural benefits.
