Sheabutter has been used for centuries in Africa. Here at Bojolar Natural Skincare, we source our sheabutter directly from the local markets- the rural women from the savannah lands of western Africa such as Nigeria and Ghana. These rural women in west Africa are custodians of the sheabutter plant and tree. The pick the nuts, process the sheabutter by hand and sell it locally. By sourcing from them directly, we empower them to be resourceful women who contribute to their social economy whilst we continue the cultivation of sheabutter.

Bojolar was founded by Dr Bunmi, a biogeochemist who is passionate about the sheabutter and shea tree. She has researched under which conditions rural women participate in the production of sheabutter and from personal experience has seen the benefit of sheabutter on her own skin. With an interest in all things skincare, growing up in Nigeria, Bunmi's nostalgic memories of the benefits of using sheabutter motivated her to explore sheabutter in skincare. As her skin went through various hormonal changes, she developed sebaceous face cysts and decided to look into natural skincare.

Her mission is simple: to continue to bring you nourishing body butters formulated with natural and certified organic oils that will moisturise your skin from head to toe.
