No brokers. No resellers. Every ingredient we ship is bought directly from the women and families who grow and harvest it, with a phytosanitary certificate on every export and a batch Certificate of Analysis available on request. Here are the people behind your order.
Guera Women’s Cooperative, Chad · Chebe & Ambunu
Our Chebe powder and Ambunu leaves come from the Guera region of central Chad, where women have used them for generations to grow and protect their hair. We buy the raw harvest directly from the cooperative, never through a middleman, and pack it to order.
Kanembu Women of Lake Chad · Dihe Spirulina
Our spirulina is wild Dihe, hand-harvested from the shores of Lake Chad by Kanembu women using a method passed down for centuries. It is the only wild-harvested spirulina on our shelves, and every lot is screened for microcystin and heavy metals before it ships.
Shea Cooperative, Burkina Faso · Raw Shea Butter
Our raw shea butter is cold-processed by a women’s cooperative in Burkina Faso from hand-picked nuts, unrefined and unbleached.
Moringa Growers, Tamale, Northern Ghana · Moringa Powder
Our moringa is grown and leaf-dried near Tamale in northern Ghana, then milled fine to protect its colour and nutrients.
Cocoa Farmers, Cote d’Ivoire · Cocoa Butter & Powder
Our raw cocoa butter and cocoa powder come from farming families in Cote d’Ivoire, the heart of West African cocoa.
Sahel Harvesters · Hibiscus
Our hibiscus (roselle) calyces are sun-dried across the Sahel and cut for tea and extract.
How we keep it honest
- Phytosanitary certificate on every export.
- Batch Certificate of Analysis: independent testing for heavy metals and microbiology, plus microcystin for spirulina, available on request.
- Margin reinvested into the cooperatives we work with: boreholes, schools and healthcare.
