She took me to a store that had essential oils and other supplies for making body care products. I decided to go look in the book section and came across a book titled Making Aromatherapy Creams and Lotions by Donna Maria. I was excited about the possibilities that were developing. I knew Ghana had shea butter and cocoa butter and I could use these to make skin moisturizers along with the bath salts.
I took this opportunity as a sign, and knew I had been provided with a way to stay and live in Africa, but it was up to me to make it happen. At the time I wasn’t thinking about the fact that most people in Ghana take showers and not baths, so what was I going to do with my bath salts?
I returned to Ghana and began making banana coconut bread and peanut butter cookies to sell in the stores in my community to make some money and buy supplies to begin my new business. I enrolled in a soap making course at the Liberian Refugee camp and continued to learn through instruction and practice using Shea butter, Cocoa butter, hibiscus, neem, virgin coconut oil and a host of other wonderful ingredients nature has provided in Ghana.
Indigenous Flair has flourished into a company that provides employment for people in our community as well as supports shea, herb and oil producers in Ghana. We are very proud to be manufacturing these raw materials into international standard quality finished products. We have seen too often raw material leave the country only to return as finished products for Ghanaians to purchase. We have created a line of bath and body products designed to make you look and feel beautiful while working to protect, renew and moisturize your skin.
It is important for us to give back, motivate and inspire. We provide free soap to a non-profit primary school that provides free education to children. We are also in the process of setting up and sponsoring a literacy program for people in our community that can’t read.
Thank you for visiting our site. Enjoy our products and let the natural you shine through.
