Sokoo Natural

Looking for that one amazing secret ingredient that will supercharge your next beauty formulation? Look no further than the oil of the tree of life, Baobab Oil! Virgin organic baobab oil is widely used in the personal care and cosmetic industry to manufacture lip balms, skin moisturizing lotions, face and wrinkle reducing creams, and bar soaps. Baobab fruit has been nicknamed the "superfruit" due to its naturally occurring levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin C, making it a favorable ingredient in topical skincare formulations. It's benefits include moisturizing hair and skin, preventing water loss from the skin, improving skin texture and elasticity, repairing the skin's barrier and reducing inflammation. For more information on how it can be used in formulation or to learn how to order in bulk, kindly send us a DM. We'd love to help!

The traditional methods of producing Shea Butter here at Sokoo Natural is sustainable in a few ways.

1. Because the team is made up of the members of the community to which this tradition belongs, the profits directly impact the lives of the women and children of the community in a way that’s not likely when it comes to factory made brands.

2. The quality of shea butter produced through traditional methods is also of higher quality since it’s not not chemically extracted.

3. Handmade or handcrafted shea butter is also more sustainable because at each stage, the waste is used for either fuel or for other products. For instance, the impurities that are skimmed off the top during the boiling process (shown here) is commonly used for fuel in lanterns or as the base to create blacksoap, another amazing skincare product.
