Our Founder's Journey
Adenike's passion for natural skincare began over a decade ago. Since 2010, she has been at the heart of Ọṣẹìwẹ, transforming her keen interest in traditional remedies and natural beauty into a thriving soap-making venture. Her journey into the world of skincare was inspired by a desire to reconnect with the nurturing, natural practices of her Yoruba heritage and to share these benefits with a wider audience.
A Rich Tradition
Growing up, Adenike was fascinated by the natural resources that surrounded her and the skincare secrets passed down through generations. She watched as elders in her community utilized local herbs, oils, and butters not only for their culinary uses but for their astonishing skin health benefits. These early experiences sowed the seeds of curiosity and respect for nature’s offerings, elements that would later become the cornerstone of Ọṣẹìwẹ.
From Passion to Enterprise
What started as a small-scale operation in her kitchen has blossomed into a full-fledged business. Adenike began by crafting soaps for family and friends, using techniques she had researched and refined over the years. Encouraged by the positive feedback, she committed to learning more about botanical properties and skincare formulations.
