NATURAL AND TRADITIONAL MATERIALS
Elephant Grass
Elephant grass is a local grass that grows spontaneously in great abundance in many parts of Ghana. Many different colors can be obtained by boiling straw in water and adding powdered dyes.
Raffia
Raffia fiber is obtained from the raffia palm tree. It is a straw-like fiber that comes off from the inside of the palm leaves. The fibers are found only in a special species of palm tree that grows abundantly throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
Calabash
A fruit that grows on both trees and vine plants. It can be harvested young and eaten as a vegetable, or matured until it dries (and changes color from green to brown) and can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
Mulberry paper
A non-native plant that is now a major invasive plant in several regions of Ghana. Locals are trained to develop skills as paper makers and, in turn, be able to use this skill as an additional source of income.
Corn husk
We use corn husks for our handmade bags by Paul.

What do people say about Africana Skincare
The soap strips away all impurities and leaves the skin fresh, ready for the shea butter, which nourishes the skin, leaving it fully hydrated. The combination of both leaves skin with a special shine and a very pleasant touch.
I love the presentation of the product and I love the shea butter. Shea butter has left my skin so soft! For me it’s all about the details, and the raffia cover is so pretty, the calabash is super cute, and the fact that they are all sustainable, handmade, natural products is just amazing.
African Black soap is wonderful because with a very small amount and a little water, it lathers and leaves the skin very clean and soft. The same thing happens with shea butter, with a very small amount, it spreads very well over the face, leaving the skin very hydrated and, above all, very luminous.
