Hello, my name is Joy and I am the face behind Shea Beauties!
I’ve always loved natural skincare products. Growing up in Eastern part of Nigeria, West Africa, I had fond memories of using raw shea butter as my body cream and the famous African black soap too. I struggled with using commercial skincare products with so much synthetic and harsh chemicals in them. I knew I had to do something about it. I started making my own skincare products and also giving to friends and family who loved them. And Shea Beauties was born !!!!
At Shea Beauties, we believe everybody deserves more from beauty products. we believe that just as we are encouraged to feed our inside with good quality natural and organic products, our outside (skin)also deserve to be fed with natural and organic ingredients, hence why we work hard to make skincare products with natural and organic ingredients where possible.
Beyond our commitment to clean beauty, we also want to encourage reduction in our carbon footprint hence why our packaging is sourced within the UK. All our packaging is eco friendly and recyclable. we now use glasses with aluminium lids or wooden cork while our labels are also eco friendly.
Our mission is to create beautiful, nourishing and skin-loving products without breaking the bank.
Personally, I strongly believe that we should all be aware of what we feed our outside (skin) as much as our inside.
At Shea Beauties we hold sustainability and our environment at the core of our what we do which is why our products are natural and safe. Our artisan handmade products are made with highest quality oils and butters to cleanse and moisturise your skin. We use only pure essential oils and natural colorants in our products. Our ingredients and products are as gentle to the planet as they are on your skin. All our products are handmade in small batches with so much love and attention.
We also source our ingredients from suppliers who have sustainable and fair trade partnership with growers and producers out there. We never use synthetic preservatives, dyes, fragrances, parabens, Sodium Laurel Sulphate, other sulphate or any other harsh chemicals in our products. They are palm free while most of them are vegan friendly too.
Our candles are made from vegetable waxes and scented with 100% pure steam distilled essential oil.
Each of our products is packaged with the environment in mind. We use biodegradable and recyclable packaging. All our formulas are original, created and tested by us on willing and real volunteers and never on animals. They have all been tested and certified safe to use by qualified skincare assessors.
I sincerely hope you find our product as good as I have. I have enjoyed creating products that have clean and healthy lifestyle as its aim. Let us help you look after your outside (Skin).
