Founded by wellness and beauty expert Ibi Meier-Oruitemeka, an advocate for holistic health and wellness in black women, Afro Hair & Skin Co started out with a goal to eliminate the ingredients that she felt contributed to the undermining of black women’s health and wellbeing.

This led to five years of research and development to create high-functioning natural alternatives, focusing on sustainable, locally-sourced ingredients that support British artisans. Let’s discover some of the hero products from Afro Hair & Skin Co, all available at Candour Beauty.
