For Skin That's Been Through It
Gentle but effective products for bumpy, breakout-prone, or uneven skin.
Textured skin, acne, and post-breakout marks are some of the most frustrating skin concerns to manage, especially when the products marketed for them are too harsh for your skin and leave behind more damage than they fix. This collection takes a different approach with gentle ingredients, targeted action, and no unnecessary irritants. The "Anyanwu" Hyperpigmentation Scrub carefully removes dead skin cells and buildup to smooth texture over time, "Zikora" Hyperpigmentation Paste addresses the marks left behind after breakouts clear, and body butters provide the moisture that acne-prone skin actually needs without clogging pores with synthetic ingredients.
"Nkechi" Body Butter
Body Butter for Dry Skin, Made Without Added Water
Nkechi Body Butter is a water-free whipped shea body butter made for dry skin, rough skin and skin that feels tight after showering. It is a natural body butter made for deeper skin tones and for anyone who wants black owned body care without a long ingredient list.
Texture and Finish: A Water-Free Whipped Shea Body Butter
Thick and whipped, firm in the jar and buttery on contact. It melts in and leaves a soft, velvety finish rather than a greasy one. Because it contains no added water, a little covers a lot.
Scent: Naturally Fragranced, No Added Synthetic Fragrance
Earthy and buttery with soft herbal notes from peppermint, tea tree and eucalyptus.
Made With: yellow and ivory shea butter, mango butter, rosehip, grapeseed, almond and castor oils, peppermint, tea tree, eucalyptus.
How to Use Body Butter for Dry Skin
- Apply to clean, slightly damp skin straight after bathing.
- Warm a small amount between your palms.
- Massage in circular motions until it melts in.
- Add extra to elbows, knees, hands and feet.
- Reapply to dry areas as needed.
Where It Fits: Body Butter and Body Oil Layering Order
This is the richest step in a body care routine. Cleanse, apply a lotion or cream first if you want a lighter layer, then use Nkechi to seal and soften. If you use a body oil too, oil goes last.
Best For: dry skin, rough skin, ashy skin and moisture-depleted skin on deeper skin tones.
Not For: broken or actively irritated skin. Patch test first if you have sensitive skin. Natural butters soften in heat, refrigerate if it arrives melted.
"Ugomma" Facial Oil
A Lightweight Facial Oil for Dry, Dull or Tight-Feeling Skin
"Ugomma" Facial Oil is a simple, four-ingredient facial oil made with grapeseed oil, vitamin E, neem oil and tea tree. It is made for skin that feels dry, dull or in need of light nourishment, and it doubles as a cleansing oil.
Texture and Finish: A Lightweight Face Oil That Won't Feel Heavy
Thin and fast-absorbing. It spreads easily over damp skin and leaves a soft finish rather than a rich, coating one.
Scent: A Fresh, Herbal Facial Oil
Fresh, herbal and naturally earthy, with clean tea tree and neem notes and no added synthetic fragrance.
Made With: tea tree, vitamin E, grapeseed oil, neem oil.
How to Use Facial Oil
As a moisturizing step: on clean skin, apply 1–3 drops to fingertips and press over face and neck, avoiding the eyes.
As a cleansing oil: apply a small amount to dry skin, massage to loosen makeup and sunscreen, then rinse or follow with a gentle cleanser.
Where It Fits: Facial Oil, Before or After Moisturizer
Facial oil goes after water-based products, to help seal in what is underneath. If you use a paste or serum, that goes first.
Best For: dry, dull or tight-feeling skin, and anyone who prefers a light oil over a cream.
Not For: broken or damaged skin, or the eye area. Because it contains tea tree and neem, patch test first if your skin is sensitive.
