Uhuru means “Freedom” in the Kenyan dialect of Swahili. Uhuru Botanicals is a plant-powered beauty brand which was inspired by Neo Chatyoka's (South African by birth), search for soothing skincare products for her baby daughter Lulu, who had eczema. Unable to find anything suitable, Neo began making her own skincare products for her family using the purest Shea Butter as the base ingredient and co

Starting a beauty brand from your kitchen is more than just making products.
You need the right formulations, branding, pricing, suppliers, systems, and a clear plan to launch properly.
I learnt this while building my own beauty business from the ground up.
That’s why I created my 6-week Kitchen to Brand programme.
I’ll help you turn your ideas into a real beauty brand wherever you are in the world.
DM me for more details.
Marula oil... aka.. “The Tree of Life” — originates from Southern Africa and has long been valued in traditional skincare for its nourishing and protective properties.
It is rich in oleic acid, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, which help to soften and smooth the skin. Marula oil works primarily by sealing in hydration, reducing transepidermal water loss and strengthening the skin barrier.
This makes it especially beneficial for dry, mature, or environmentally stressed skin.
Great for 🇬🇧 weather ☺️
Its lightweight texture allows it to absorb easily without leaving a heavy residue, while its natural antioxidant content helps support skin resilience against daily environmental stressors.
I’m hosting a free live masterclass on 26th May and I wanted you to be one of the first to know.
It’s called From Kitchen to Brand: Turning Your Natural Product Recipes Into a Real Business.
If you’ve ever made something at home and thought “this could actually be something”, this is built for you.
We’re going deep on what it actually takes to move from DIY creator to real beauty founder. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just the real stuff.
It’s free. It’s live. And I’m only doing it once.

Argan oil is one of those well known African Botanicals which I don’t think is appreciated enough for its goodness.
Rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, argan oil helps support the skin barrier, soften dry skin and improve shine and manageability in hair care.
It’s one of those simple but hardworking oils that fits beautifully into facial care, body care, scalp care and beard products.
AKA: liquid gold for a reason.
You might be thinking…
“I’m still a beginner”
“I don’t have everything yet”
And that’s okay.
This is exactly who this is for.
Because starting without structure is what makes things harder later.
This gives you a clear way to start properly.
✨ And yes… I’m really excited about this.
Because I know what this can do for you.

I started with recipes too.
I just wanted to get the product right.
But after wasting time, ingredients, and money…
I realised something important:
Recipes weren’t the problem.
Understanding was.
Because no one was really teaching:
• how to preserve properly
• how to ensure stability
• how to work in a clean, controlled way
And these are the things that actually matter.
This is also why I bring in something very close to me:
🌿 African Botanicals Education
Understanding ingredients with depth…
how they function, how to use them properly, not just follow trends.
This is where real formulation begins.
✨ Our Plant-based Cosmetic Formulation Course is now open for enrolment!

Most people don’t need more recipes.
They need to understand formulation.
When you understand formulation, you can create:
✔ Lotions
✔ Serums
✔ Shampoos
✔ Conditioners
✔ Butters
And more importantly, you learn how to:
✔ Write formulas in % + INCI
✔ Understand preservation
✔ Control pH
✔ Test stability
✔ Keep records you can reuse
This is where things shift.
You stop guessing.
You start building a real beauty brand.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and actually understand formulation, message me “FORMULATE”.
