"With so many exquisite brands of skincare on the market, starting up your own business as a body and skin care specialist is no easy task. Afriyie Donkor took to the challenge like a duck to water using her business skills combined with her heritage of Ghanaian resources, namely Shea butter from her mothers village Gaoso in Ghana, Africa.Tamu’s ethos is: Beauty with Responsibility. The process of handcrafted cosmetics in Ghana enables care and community trading with the local women and children of the Ghanaian villages.
Tamu is a brand with extreme integrity, respecting the traditions of homemade beauty remedies with the intensive 14hr labouring process of extraction from the Shea nut to decanting the pure form into recyclable bottles and jars.
Tamu products are naturally against animal testing and refuse to include parabens and chemical preservatives which enables it seal of approval as one of the best premium body care brands of our time.
Tamu is a fabulously chic range of beautifully rich whipped body butters all based with unrefined Shea Butter and no preservatives whatsoever! The delicious scents are provided with raw essential oils like coconut and lime, lavender, ylang ylang, lemon and ginger and Moroccan rose.
The Moroccan rose range is a sensuous treat that includes a relaxing bath soak with rose petals to enhance the spa tranquil feel at home, the fantastic sensuous body oil - (which I now swear by as a great all over body oil for hair, face and body after I finish my daily swim).
The soaps are traditional blocks of soaps, cut to measure your needs, which again are unrefined 100% organic. Get your hands on the African Black Tea Tree and honey soap - it is the best thing for oily and blemished skin. It’s rich lather and African herbs will leave your skin feeling super silky.
With such wisdom and blessing of African ingredients and long-term benefits to community trade for the financial independence of Ghana, Mrs Donkor deserves our hats taken off to her.
Goodbye high street imitations filled with glycerine and watered down by artificial fragrances… Hello Tamu!
Afriye’s wonderful range is available to purchase online with a fully comprehensive history page and list of her superior ingredients and is also stocked at Waterloo Body Station and in Cherry Picked Boutique in Greenwich.
