'Growing up, I was no stranger to the holistic approach of crafting everything from scratch, where nature provided the foundation for daily living.'
My story began in Mozambique, a place where the rhythm of life is intertwined with the natural world. Growing up, I was no stranger to the holistic approach of crafting everything from scratch, where nature provided the foundation for daily living. However, I faced a personal challenge – dry skin issues that persisted into my adulthood.
A Personal Mission
Driven by a desire to find sustainable and natural solutions for my skin concerns, I embarked on a mission. My exploration led me to a remarkable discovery – shea butter. Originating from the shea tree native to Africa, shea butter has been a traditional remedy for skin nourishment for centuries. It was this natural treasure that became the cornerstone of my journey to healthier, more radiant skin.
The Birth of shea&i
Inspired by the transformative effects of shea butter on my own skin, I envisioned a brand that would share the beauty of natural skincare with the world. In 2021, shea&i was born – a manifestation of my commitment to providing high-quality, natural bath and body care products.
