About Essence of Africa
Essence of Africa is rooted in community, culture, craftsmanship, and tradition. Our products are made with care and pride — ranging from natural shea butters to vibrant handmade African‑print shopping bags and African baskets.
Our Story
Essence of Africa began with a simple but powerful intention: to create a bridge that allows customers who value authenticity, quality, and cultural heritage to access a range of African products. Through our connection with artisans and producers, we help sustain livelihoods, preserve traditional skills, and celebrate the beauty of African craftsmanship. Every product tells a story — of resilience, community, and heritage.
All Essence of Africa skin‑care products have been fully assessed under the UK Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) framework, confirming that every formula is 100% natural, safe and beneficial for all skin types. Our products meet all UK cosmetic regulatory requirements, ensuring high‑quality ingredients, responsible formulation and complete peace of mind for our customers.
