OUR STORY
When my daughter’s eczema flared and my own dry skin struggled with stress, harsh weather, and hard water, I turned to African botanicals like shea butter, marula oil, and baobab.
Backed by deep research, safe formulation training, and a Legal and Governance mindset, I created simple, plant-led formulas without cheap fillers or common irritants. They brought the relief we needed.
If your skin needs comfort, barrier support, and calmer days, you’re in the right place.
Zawadi means “gift” in Swahili. Our gift is heritage-rooted care for softer, more comfortable skin through every season.

Frequently Asked Questions
You'll notice immediate comfort: skin feels softer, looks visibly moisturised (non-ashy), and lightly scented.
Skin renews in cycles of about 28–35 days (faster when younger, slower if the barrier is stressed), so consistent use for at least one full cycle is key to steadier moisture, smoother texture, and a calmer look.
Most customers notice improvements between 2 weeks and 3 months.
All our products are natural and from natural or naturally derived ingredients.
Many of our botanicals are also organic, which means they’re grown and processed without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers and meet certified farming standards; wherever an ingredient is organic, we mark it with ** or + in the ingredients list.
We start with lived experience (my daughter’s flares and my own) and pair heritage African botanicals with modern innovation, simple, clean formulas, and whole-person wellness rituals. All our products are well tested by leading global chemists and created to care for both the skin and senses.

No. Our heritage African botanicals are for all skin tones. We design for skin states - dryness, sensitivity, stressed skin.
Yes, our body butters are made from natural and organic plant oils and butters, which
can melt in high temperatures. This is perfectly normal due to the ingredients' sensitivity to heat. If your body butter does melt, simply place it in a cool area or refrigerate it for a while to restore its firmness. The melting does not affect the product's quality or effectiveness. Keep the product in a cool, dry place to avoid this issue.
Yes, our Experiences & Hospitality program offers tiered gift sets, amenity minis, and light custom sleeves with clear lead times.
Recommended: Welcome/Gift Sets (3 price tiers), Amenity Minis (butter + oil), Discovery Trio for event favours.
Alongside UK and EU regulations, each and every product formulation is carefully safety
assessed by an external chemist before we make it available to you. We manufacture in a lab that complies with good manufacturing practice (GMP) and every product is logged and tracked on open UK portals.
