Detoxifying & Balancing Made With: Aloe Vera, Oats & Vitamin E Ethically Traded Ingredients Sustainably Produced No Animal Testing Certified B Corporation Cruelty Free Shea butter, infused with Oats, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Sandalwood Oil, soothes and balances skin while African Black Soap nourishes in this total body balm. Humble Beginnings Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of two New York street vendors. In 1992, fresh out of college and without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a mission to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with fair trade ingredients. Today Nubian Heritage offers culturally authentic natural products inspired by global ancient healing philosophies. Although Nubian Heritage products are no longer made in bath tubs, little else has changed; the company still makes its own products, still uses fair trade ingredients and still invests in community commerce. Heritage For centuries, African Black Soap has been used in Africa to cleanse and care for the skin. Historical references to Shea Butter, a staple of African pharmacology, data back to the reported Shea Butter caravans of Cleopatra's Egypt. Complementing the ingredients' detoxifying properties, our package pattern symbolizes purity and commemorates the strong community identity textiles have in Africa with each community having their own unique designs.
