11th of July 2020 was the day when everything started to make sense.<\/b> That was the day we took a trip to a sustainably managed forest Estate in the Central Region of Ghana. We were lucky enough to have established a connection with the owner of this forest Estate who kindly invited us on a day trip with him (he was going on one of his weekly trips from Accra to run some errands). With no expectations whatsoever (just a bit of excitement and curiosity) we accepted with no hesitation!<\/p>\n
Who would have told us that this would be the trip of all source of inspiration for Africana Skincare?<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The visit to this Forest Estate ended up being more than just \u201ca day out\u201d. It was a whole educational experience on circular economy, deforestation in Ghana, learning about the process of essential oil making AND the most interesting part for us, learning WHERE our food comes from. <\/a>This may sound as very basic, but unfortunately many people still do not know where most of the food we eat on a daily basis comes from. Like for example, many chocolate lovers do not even know where chocolate comes (they just indulge in the pleasure of what chocolate eating brings to them). Thinking about this last comment a little deeper, we currently live in a society where we do not care how things are made, or where they come from, we just want those things as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t
