Conversations with friends and family round my kitchen table ended up with me telling them that eczema, dry skin conditions and glowing skin can be achieved simply by the well known African gold aka sheabutter. I could not believe that some friends had never heard of sheabutter. I was in the UK after all and held on to my nostalgic love of sheabutter and knew it was the answer to a myriad of skin problems, especially if you formulated it with the right natural ingredients. Well, with my background in biochemistry, the birth of Bojolar natural skincare was born.

I honed in my skills of formulating, and had a mission and vision for the business. To create natural skincare using sheabutter sourced from West African women traders who process the sheanuts by hand in Western Nigeria. Our passion is to empower these rural women to make a better living for themselves. To date, we have been at local artisan markets, pop up shops at John Lewis, offer customised skincare products for events and sell all our skincare products online. Our handmade skincare's unrefined sheabutter has a UK safety assessment and certification and we ensure small batch quantities for quality assurance.
